Notes:
* If you use CCRC as an extension offering installed into an Eclipse shell (one not provided as part of a ClearCase release), or you use rcleartool or CMAPI using a Java™ Virtual Machine not supplied by IBM as part of Rational ClearCase, you should update the Java™ Virtual Machine that you use to include a fix for the above issues. Contact the supplier of your Java™ Virtual Machine and/or the supplier of your Eclipse shell.

CCRC WAN server fixes

Affected Versions

|

Applying the fix

—|—
9.0.0.x
9.0.1.x
8.0.1.x
8.0.0.x | Apply the appropriate WebSphere Application Server fix directly to your CCRC WAN server host. No ClearCase-specific steps are necessary.

• 1. Determine the WAS version used by your CCRC WAN server. Navigate to the CCRC profile directory (either the profile you specified when installing ClearCase, or `<ccase-home>/common/ccrcprofile`), then execute the script: `bin/versionInfo.sh `(UNIX) or `bin\versionInfo.bat `(Windows). The output includes a section "IBM WebSphere Application Server". Make note of the version listed in this section.
  

  2. Review the following WAS security bulletins:

and apply the latest available fix for the version of WAS used for CCRC WAN server.
* **Note:**there may be newer security fixes for WebSphere Application Server. Follow the link below (in the section "
