The Maintenance Tool creates a new connection by default when you
create a new schema repository. Creating a schema repository requires you
to specify a feature level. The feature level defines the set of features
enabled for that schema repository. You must also specify the database properties
of the schema repository. These properties depend on the vendor database used
by the schema repository.
This page contains the following fields:
- New Connection
- An icon for the new connection appears when you create a new schema repository.
To rename the connection, select the connection in the Existing Connections pane,
right-click and select Rename on the shortcut menu.
- Schema Repository Properties
- Choose the Feature Level for this schema repository. The feature
level of the schema repository determines the feature level of its associated
user databases. The default value in the feature level field is the latest
level available. For example, feature level 7 enables pessimistic record locking
and full-text search. Feature level 6 enables workspace folder
permissions, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for history timestamps, and
an increase in the number of record IDs for the user database. If you are
unsure about which feature level to select, see Determine feature level.
- The properties vary depending on the vendor database you select. Choose
the database from the Vendor pull-down menu. Rational ClearQuest supports the following
databases:
- DB2®
- Oracle
- SQL Server
- Microsoft® Access
Note: The Microsoft Access runtime files are supplied with
Rational ClearQuest for evaluation
and testing purposes only, and is not supported for production use. These
files are not the full version of Microsoft Access.
Keep in mind that when you specify database parameters,
case sensitivity may apply to the vendor database you choose. For more information
on database case-sensitivity and properties, see Vendor database parameters.
If
you plan to use DB2, ORACLE, or SQL Server, you must first create an empty
database container using tools provided by the database vendor. For information
on creating empty vendor database containers, see the chapter, Configuring
Vendor Databases in the IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearQuest
