SYNOPSIS

Files and Windows registry keys used by ClearCase server processes to configure system operation

DESCRIPTION

ClearCase processes create and consult the files and registry key values described in the sections below.

Values in Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion

The ClearCase setup program sets these values based on user input at ClearCase installation time. You can modify most of them from the ClearCase Control Panel. (We recommend that you do not modify these values directly with the Windows Registry Editor.)

db.conf

Configuration information for the file, vista.tjf, which is a journal of VOB updates. This file can grow large, especially as a result of such operations as rmver, rmview, rmtype, and scrubber. To limit the size of vista.tjf, create the file db.conf (in ccase-home-dir\var\config) and add the line

-journal_file_limit bytes
where bytes may not be less than 5000000. Setting this value too low may degrade performance.
