Change Management Server (CM Server) provides server-side
support for WAN interfaces to Rational® ClearQuest® and Rational ClearCase®.
CM Server is a unified application server for both ClearCase Remote
Client (CCRC) and ClearQuest Web. It leverages
the performance, security and scalability of WebSphere® Application
Server.
CM Server includes a WAN server derived from WebSphere Application
Server version 6.1 and IBM® HTTP Server version 6.1. Although
separate components for ClearQuest Web and ClearCase
Remote Client (CCRC) require CM Server, the CM Server installation
is part of a server deployment that is common to both. The installation
includes WebSphere Application Server and creates
a profile with predefined default ports.
ClearQuest includes two application programming
interfaces (APIs) for access to ClearCase and ClearQuest artifacts:
- The Representational State Transfer (REST) API for ClearQuest
is a RESTful interface that adheres to the Open Services for Lifecycle
Collaboration (OSLC) Change Management specifications (available at http://open-services.net). For more information about the interface, see the API
Reference Page.
- The CM API is a unified client-side Java™ API
for access to ClearCase and ClearQuest artifacts.
CM API clients connect to product repository resources through CM
Server. On the login, CM API client applications require a host value
that is the URL for the server where CM Server is deployed. For more
information about the CM API, see the help for Programming with
CM API.
