Use CCFS to access Linux and UNIX VOBs

Turns on use of the ClearCase® File Server (CCFS) to access Linux and UNIX VOBs. CCFS is a native ClearCase TCP/IP file-transfer mechanism.

  • When this check box is selected, file transfers between VOBs on Linux and UNIX and ClearCase processes on the local host use CCFS. If this check box is selected and the local host uses only snapshot views, ClearCase does not require any third-party cross-platform file access product to access VOBs on Linux and UNIX.
  • When this check box is cleared, file transfers between VOBs on Linux and UNIX and the local host require a third-party cross-platform file access product.

Regardless of how you set this option, in dynamic views require a third-party cross-platform file access product to access VOBs on Linux and UNIX.

You must stop and re-start ClearCase before any change in this option takes effect.
