What is CM Server?

� CM Server stands for Change Management Server.

� It is a unified (single technology stack) application server for both ClearCase and

ClearQuest.

� It is the next generation server for WAN access

�ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC)

� CCRC also provides access ClearQuest database

�CQ Web

�ClearCase CM API

�Any other future WAN clients


14

Why build CM Server

� Reduce TCO by consolidating servers for CC and CQ

� Standardize configuration and admin of the servers

� Permit better CC/CQ integration

� Reduce engineering cost to IBM

�Single server

�Use expertise from other brands (WebSphere, Tivoli)
