To create a schema repository:
- Click ClearQuest
Maintenance Tool.
- In the Maintenance Tool, click . The Maintenance Tool prompts
you to supply a name for the new connection. A connection identifies a schema
repository and all user databases associated with the schemas stored in that
schema repository.
- Enter sample_schema_repo as the connection name.
- In the Schema Repository Properties area, leave
the Vendor field set to MS_ACCESS.
This tutorial uses Microsoft Access as the underlying database management
system because it is available to all customers and does not require additional
configuration.
Click ... next to the Physical
Database Name field. The Select Microsoft Access Database window
opens. Enter sample_schema_repo.mdb in the File
name field. By default, the Maintenance Tool stores the physical
database in the Rational ClearQuest installation directory. Click Open and
then click Next. The Maintenance Tool reminds you that
the file name you specified is not in a shared directory and asks if you want
to continue. Click Yes.
- The Maintenance Tool prompts you to set the data code page for the schema
repository. Code pages identify the character set that can be used on a computer
or in an application. The Maintenance Tool determines the code page of the
operating system of your computer, and offers you the choice of that code
page or the ASCII character set. Accept the default value and click Next.
- When you create a schema repository, the Maintenance Tool can create a
sample user database that includes sample change request records. You will
create a user database in another exercise, so clear the Create
sample database check box. Click Finish.
