Shipping server use with DevOps Code ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest

If you use both DevOps ClearCase® MultiSite and DevOps ClearQuest® MultiSite, you use the same shipping server for both products. The shipping server is installed when you install DevOps ClearCase MultiSite.

Note: If you use Rational® ClearQuest MultiSite and DevOps Code ClearCase, or Rational ClearQuest MultiSite alone, you must install the shipping server.

The following restrictions apply when you use both DevOps ClearCase MultiSite and Rational ClearQuest MultiSite:

You must use different storage classes for VOB replica packets and Rational ClearQuest database replica packets. You can create storage classes (up to 64 in total) and use the -sclass option to specify a particular class. If you do not use the -sclass option, the default class is used:
- For DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite, the default storage class is -default. It is created when you install DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite.
- For Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, the default storage class for multiutil commands that use the -sclass option is cq_default. The shipping_server and mkorder commands use -default as the default class.
  The cq_default class is not created during installation. If you plan to use this class, you must create the class and its shipping and return bays.
  
  If you do not create the cq_default storage class, you must create another class for use with Rational ClearQuest MultiSite, and use the -sclass option in multiutil commands to specify that storage class. If the cq_default storage class does not exist and you do not specify the -sclass option in a multiutil command, the packet is placed in the storage bay associated with the -default class, which can cause problems at the importing site.
You must use different bays forRational ClearQuest MultiSite storage classes and DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite storage classes.
If you uninstall one product, the other one may stop working. You must uninstall both products and then reinstall the one you want to continue using.

Follow these recommended guidelines when you use both DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite and Rational ClearQuest MultiSite:

When you export a packet for a Rational ClearQuest replica, use the -sclass option and specify a storage class.
Enable e-mail notification for shipping server operations and specify an address to use only for messages originating from Rational ClearQuest MultiSite operations. .
