Locating the configuration file

When DevOps Code ClearCase® is installed, the following file is placed on the system:

ccase-home-dir\lib\CQCC\configTemplate.pl

If there is no existing file with the same name, the following file is also placed on the system:

ccase-home-dir\lib\CQCC\config.pl

If the local configuration file config.pl exists, the installation tries to avoid replacing that file because it contains your changes. The installation action depends on the platform type.

To see the latest changes in configuration information, compare the config.pl and the configTemplate.pl files. If you make changes to your configuration, edit the configTemplate.pl file and save the changes to both configTemplate.pl and config.pl. By locating the configuration file in a central place, you simplify the task of implementing the latest changes.

If you uninstall DevOps Code ClearCase, both configTemplate.pl and config.pl are removed from the system. However, on Linux and the UNIX system, the config.pl file is first copied to the standard file preservation area and then removed from its original location.
