Replication of ClearCase AdminVOBs and client VOBs

Question & Answer


Question

Does a IBM Rational ClearCase VOB linked to a replicated AdminVOB (Administrative VOB) also need to be replicated with ClearCase MultiSite?

Answer

If a client VOB is linked to an AdminVOB, you must replicate BOTH VOBs to its sibling site.

The hyperlinks to the AdminVOB are transferred as part of the replication, and the AdminVOB should be synchronized whenever the client is synchronized.

To learn more on this topic review the IBM Rational ClearCase MultiSite Administrator's guide > Planning a MultiSite Implementation > ClearCase Use Model > Use of Administrative VOBs.

For more information on client (or child) and AdminVOB configurations, refer to IBM Rational ClearCase Administrator's Guide > VOB Datatypes and Administrative VOB Hierarchies > Administrative VOB Hierarchies and Global Types.

If you need a soft copy, the ccms_admin.pdf is available on any host with ClearCase installed located by default in:
