Configuring Microsoft Access

Rational® ClearQuest® MultiSite does not support Microsoft® Access databases. Microsoft Access is supplied with Rational ClearQuest for evaluation and testing purposes only. Microsoft Access is not supported for production use.

To use Rational ClearQuest with Microsoft Access:
  1. Create one shared directory with full permissions on the computer that will contain your Microsoft Access databases.
  2. Record the UNC path of the share directory. The path must be of this form:

    \\machine_name \share_name\database_directory\

    For example:

    \\developmentserver\project34share\Clearquestdbs\

The first time you run Rational ClearQuest, you are prompted to create a schema repository. Specify the path to the shared directory and provide a file name for the schema repository. The appropriate Microsoft Access databases in the shared directory are then created and initialized.
