A Rational® ClearCase® environment
includes hosts that run Windows and hosts that run the UNIX system or Linux
is said to be a mixed environment.
Whenever a
Rational ClearCase community
includes users who access a common set of VOBs and views from computers running
a mix of operating system platforms, most or all of the following requirements
must be addressed:
- Common user and group names and common primary group memberships on each
platform for all users and groups that access a common set of VOBs and views
- Cross-platform file system access, which is required when a dynamic view
(MVFS) hosted on a Windows® client must access a VOB or dynamic view
hosted on a computer running Linux® or the UNIX® system
- Client configuration issues and file naming conventions that address differences
among the supported operating systems in areas such as case sensitivity, line
termination in text files, and characters that are allowed in file names
If you are the administrator of a
Rational ClearCase community
for which only one of the following conditions is true, then these requirements
do not apply.
- All hosts run Windows
- All hosts run the UNIX system or Linux
