Defects fixed in ClearCase LT Service Release 2001A.04.01.293.005

Defect Number

Description

CMBU00041212

Corrects a defect introduced in ClearCase 4.0 caused checkout of the current working directory to fail if that directory was reached by traversing a VOB symbolic link.

CMBU00048520

Corrects a problem with the view_sr utility.

CMBU00048419

Supports the use of a new environment variable on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms. If the user environment variable CLEARCASE_GROUPS exists for any user, ClearCase will consider the semicolon-separated list of groups specified in the value of this variable first when determining (or displaying) which groups a user belongs to. For example: CLEARCASE_GROUPS=DOMAIN\ClearCase Users;DOMAIN\group1;DOMAIN\group5 The list can contain domain or local groups, and need not contain the group specified in CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP, which is already treated specially if it has been specified. If the user is a member of additional groups not specified in CLEARCASE_GROUPS, ClearCase will consider those groups after it has considered the groups listed in CLEARCASE_GROUPS, up to a limit of 32 groups. Any user who is a member of more than 32 groups (domain or local) should set CLEARCASE_GROUPS to specify which of these groups ClearCase should consider when checking the user's access rights. CLEARCASE_GROUPS is not supported on Windows 98 or Windows me.

CMBU00046491

Increases to 1024 from 512 the maximum number of child processes that the albd_server can create.

CMBU00050545

Corrects a problem that could potentially occur if a client program terminates unexpectedly while holding a database lock.

CMBU00050678

Corrects a regression in ClearCase 4.1 that caused the vob_scrubber to ignore the setting of the export_sync parameter.

CMBU00050079

Provides an integration between ClearCase LT and Forte for Java.
