How to Restart the IBM Rational ClearCase Adapter
Restart the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter if you encounter either of the following system errors:
• During the method server start-up, if there is a problem with the adapter, the system displays an error if the adapter is not running.
• Attempting to bring up any IBM Rational ClearCase browser from Windchill displays an error.
Restart the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter:
• If it is installed remotely
or
• If you need to run an IBM Rational ClearCase adapter in a separate Java Virtual Machine (JVM), rather than the Windchill Method Server
This section explains how the adapter can be configured to run on a different JVM than the Windchill JVM.
Installing Files for an IBM Rational ClearCase Adapter
The following section explains how to install files for the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter on the remote machine.
1. Create directory ADAPTER_HOME on the machine where the adapter is run, for example D:\SCMI-OOP.
2. Access the Software Downloads page from the Windchill Quick Links drop-down list.
3. Copy the cc.zip file from the PTC software downloads page to the client machine.
Editing the bat file to start the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter
The following section explains how to install files for the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter on the remote machine.
1. Copy startCCADapter.bat contained in cc.zip to the <ADAPTER_HOME> directory.
2. Edit startCCADapter.bat.
3. Specify the following values:
◦ ADAPTER_HOME— specify the directory where all the jar files from cc.zip file were extracted. For example:
set ADAPTER_HOME=D:\SCMI-OOP
◦ JAVA_HOME— specify the location of JDK (on the machine where the adapter resides). JDK version 1.7 should be installed on the client machine. For example,
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk\jdk1.7_0
 |
Also verify that IEPROPFILE, IEMYNAME, IENAMINGSERVICENAME all have correct values as described in the comments of the startCCAdapter.bat file.
|
For example,
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk\jdk<version number>
◦ ADAPTER_NAME— specify the name of the adapter that created in Windchill.
For example,
set ADAPTER_NAME=$WC.com.ptc.swlink.scm.defaultAdapter$
|
|
Also verify that IEPROPFILE, IENAMINGSERVICENAME all have correct values as described in the comments of the startCCAdapter.bat file.
|
◦ install.jar—add install.jar to the classpath, where all classpaths are set.
For example,
set CLASSPATH=%SCM_HOME%\install.jar;%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%SCM_HOME%;%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%SCM_HOME%;%CLASSPATH%
◦ wt.home—add a wt.home property to the java command, under the comment
“rem The following line starts the scm adapter as a standalone process".
For example,
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -cp "%CLASSPATH%" -DpropFile="%IEPROPFILE%"
-DruntimeServiceName="%ADAPTER_NAME%" -DserviceName="%ADAPTER_NAME%"
-DnamingServiceName="%IENAMINGSERVICENAME%"
-Dwt.home="%SCM_HOME%" com.ptc.windchill.scm.adapter.clearcase.
CcMultithreadedAdapter
-DruntimeServiceName="%ADAPTER_NAME%" -DserviceName="%ADAPTER_NAME%"
-DnamingServiceName="%IENAMINGSERVICENAME%"
-Dwt.home="%SCM_HOME%" com.ptc.windchill.scm.adapter.clearcase.

Starting the IBM Rational ClearCase Adapter
The final step is the start the IBM Rational ClearCase adapter. Once the adapter is running, start the Windchill server, servlet engine.
1. Using the startCCAdapter.bat file, start the adapter on the machine where it resides.
2. Once the adapter is started, start the Windchill server, servlet engine. The adapter should now be successfully configured and running remotely.
