Before you install or upgrade Rational® ClearCase® and Rational ClearQuest® web features, install or upgrade
to a supported version of WebSphere® Application
Server, IBM® HTTP Server, and Web
Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere.
Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest web features are deployed on
the WebSphere Application Server and use IBM HTTP Server for client
to server communication. This architecture requires that you have
a supported version of WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server
installed before you can install or upgrade Rational ClearCase or
ClearQuest web server components.
Attention: If your are not deploying ClearCase and ClearQuest web server components to
support client applications such as ClearTeam Explorer and ClearQuest Web client, you do not have to
install WebSphere Application Server components.
ClearCase and ClearQuest are supported by WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server. For
supported configurations and installation information, see the IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports.

Server is available from these resources:
