Microsoft Access can be used
in a limited capacity with Rational® ClearQuest® for
evaluation and testing purposes only. However, it is not supported
for production use. Rational ClearQuest MultiSite does
not support Microsoft Access databases.
To use
Rational ClearQuest with Microsoft Access:
- Create one shared directory with full permissions on the computer
that will contain your Microsoft Access
databases.
- 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.
