Any way to increase the memory settings for rational clearcase remote client

I am using rational clearcase remote client Version 7.1.1.3. Since this is an Eclipse based tool; I was trying to find out if I can increase the memory settings for minimum and maximum memory for this tool as we can do in eclipse by adding the following parameters:

-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m

in eclipse.ini file.

I can not find a eclipse.ini file under my Rationa ClearCase Remote client installation location; but I do see several config.ini files in locations like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC_1\clearcase\RemoteClient\integration
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC_1\clearcase\RemoteClient\configuration
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC_1\clearcase\RemoteClient

I am not sure which one to change what to change.

Any idea how this can be achieved?

the reason I want to change the settings is because, my remote client is very slow and since I have to work with huge views with heavy cleacase operations I am thinking it is because of memory usage.

my system info: Windows 7 enterprise edition 64 bit IBM installation manager 1.4.4 IBM rational ClearCase Client 7.1.1.03

Solution

  • That would be the ccrc.ini file (if using ClearCase Remote Client stand-alone application) for example <ClearCase Installed Directory>\clearcase\RemoteClient\ccrc.ini

    See the technote "Improving ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) performance".

    eclipse.ini is only involved if you install CCRC as a plugin to an existing Eclipse.

    That is through ccrc.ini that you can:

    Windows-like path: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\RemoteClient\ccrc.ini
    Unix-like path: /opt/ibm/RationalSDLC/clearcase/RemoteClient/ccrc.ini
