The activate command prepares a database set (a schema repository and its user databases) to be replicated. Before you can activate a database set, you must upgrade all user databases in the set to the same version of Rational® ClearQuest®.

When you activate a database set, you give it a clan name and site name. The logical name of the database set is changed to CQMS.clan-name.site-name. After you activate a database set, it can be accessed by using additional multiutil commands, and you can use the mkreplica command to replicate one or more user databases in that database set.

You must have Super User privileges.

–dbset dbset-name

The name of the database set you want to activate. You can omit this argument if your Rational ClearQuest installation has only one database set. The database set names are listed in the Maintenance Tool in Existing Connections.
