Status of ClearCase Software Change Requests

This file contains descriptions of noteworthy problems found in and not yet resolved in ClearCase Version 2002.05.00.

Note

The ClearCase Product Family development group switched to a new change request system after ClearCase 4.0 was released. ID numbers differ between the old and new systems. This document lists both numbers. The new number appears first and includes a CMBU prefix. The former four- or five-digit number, if one exists, appears in parentheses.

Known Problems in This Release

The following are the known problems in ClearCase Version 2002.05.00.

#CMBU00002462 (#7328) permissions problem building over winked-in derived object

When your build script builds over a target without first removing it, the script must retain the permissions of the built-over DO. Your view maintains these permissions correctly, but the data container created by the MVFS gets new, potentially different permissions. As a result, subsequent attempts to build over the target may fail.

#CMBU00020733 (#23369) cannot copy contents of read-only folder to MVFS

You cannot copy a read-only folder to the MVFS. After copying the read-only folder into the MVFS, it is protected against changes and the subsequent copying of any files or subfolders into it fails.

Workaround: There are two possible workarounds to this problem:

  • Remove the read-only attribute from any folders to be copied into the MVFS before copying them.

  • After making the target directory in the MVFS, run the command

    cleartool protect -chmod +w dir-name 

    where dir-name is the name of the target directory. This command makes the target directory writable before attempting to copy files into it.

#CMBU00022078 (#24865) old versions of InstallShield turn header file to DO

If you are using a version of InstallShield earlier than 5.1 and your InstallShield build includes a checked-out header file, InstallShield opens the file for read/write, which causes the MVFS to erroneously turn the include file into a DO.

Workaround: Upgrade to a current version of InstallShield.

#CMBU00022280 (#25091) problems switching from no-automounting to automounting

If you change the setting of the Enable automatic mounting of NFS storage directories option in the ClearCase Control Panel after starting any remote NFS views or mounting any remote NFS VOBs, you must shut down and restart your computer. Otherwise, accessing MVFS files on remote NFS storage directories will produce incorrect function errors and opensendirp error messages in the MVFS logs.

#CMBU00024964 problems with ClearCase Server Process User in an Active Directory domain

In the current release, when working with nested and universal groups, a spurious failure may be reported when testing whether the clearcase_albd user account is in the ClearCase Administrators Group. The failure should be ignored.

Also, the setup will not create an account in a domain that has a transitive trust with the current domain.

#CMBU00026201 (#29379), (#26909), (#30185) global types: differences in command line behavior and GUI behavior

The ClearCase Type Explorer and Properties Browser always display information about local copies of global types, instead of displaying information about the global type.

If the client VOB you are browsing does not contain a local copy of a global type, the ClearCase Type Explorer does not display the global type.

#CMBU00028068 (#31461) diffbl does not work with imported baselines

The cleartool diffbl command, which compares two baselines and shows the differences between them, does not work correctly when one or both of the baselines are imported baselines.

#CMBU00028214 (#31626) changing activity name breaks link with ClearQuest record

When a ClearCase activity in a ClearQuest-enabled project is linked to a ClearQuest record, the Name of the ClearCase activity is set to match the ClearQuest record's ID. This allows you to access the corresponding activity when you are working on a defect by using the current defect number. For example, you can use the command

cleartool setactivity ClearQuest-record-ID 

We recommend that you do not change the name of a ClearCase activity, although ClearCase does not prevent that. If you change an activity name, you cannot use the setactivity command as illustrated above.

Note that the Headline field for a ClearCase activity is synchronized with the corresponding field in a ClearQuest record. That is, if you change this field from within either ClearCase or ClearQuest, the corresponding field in the ClearQuest record or ClearCase activity is modified as well.

#CMBU00028372 (#31797) removal of branch may result in errors in snapshot view

If a branch is removed from within a snapshot view, any loaded elements from that branch should remain in the snapshot view. However, when trying to list such an element, the program displays the error

cleartool: Error: Pathname is not within a VOB

The error is generated when attempting to list an element if the branched version of the element was previously selected by the snapshot view, but the branch has since been removed. Note that the element still exists in the VOB and the view, but cannot be listed by cleartool ls.

#CMBU00029594 (#33174) integration stream property sheets may not show delivered activities

In the Project Explorer, the Activities tab of the baseline and integration stream property sheets does not list the activities that have been delivered to the integration stream and incorporated into the baseline. The Activities tab displays only activities that were created in the integration stream, including integration activities, which ClearCase generates during deliver operations.

#CMBU00030053 (#33672) adding large number of files from Windows Explorer fails

If you attempt to add a large number of files to source control from within Windows Explorer, the operation fails. To add a large number of files to source control, use the cleartool mkelem command instead.

#CMBU00030700,#CMBU00032384 (#36267) Print to File option does not work

The Print to file option of applications such as Microsoft Word does not work for an MVFS file. Attempting to print to file within the MVFS may result in the error access denied or the application may appear to hang as it continues to try to write the file. The problem is that the mechanism used for this function uses an identity that does not have the proper credentials for the MVFS to be able to validate it. The workaround is to print the file to a file outside the MVFS (such as a local or network drive) and then copy it into the MVFS from there.

#CMBU00030951 (#34653) defect in MMC taskpads causes Admin Console problems

There is a bug associated with taskpads in the Microsoft Management Console, version 1.1 and 1.2, that causes problems in the ClearCase Administration Console. The problem occurs when you follow this sequence of steps:

  1. Select All VOBs or All Views node from the navigation bar of the Administration Console. The program displays the associated taskpad.

  2. Select a VOB or view-tag from the taskpad list, and then click Manage storage.

  3. After the storage for that node has been successfully displayed, click the MMC back navigation arrow to return to and display the previously selected taskpad.

The taskpad list is blank.

Workaround: Use either of the following methods to work around the problem:

  • In taskpad mode, select ViewTaskpad to turn off taskpad mode

  • After navigating to the taskpad with the back arrow, select Refresh from the All VOBs or All Views node.

Note that with MMC 1.1, resizing the console window refreshes the list; resizing has no effect in MMC 1.2

#CMBU00031803 (#35608) predefined attribute not displayed on property sheet

The cleartool describe command lists predefined attributes for some objects. This output is likely to change at a future release. Specifically, settings that represent UCM information are likely to be removed or replaced with a more abstract representation.

#CMBU00032161 (#36013) problem checking in identical .frm files in Visual Basic 6.0

By default, ClearCase software does not create a new version of a file that is identical to its immediate predecessor. When you attempt to check in a .frm file that is identical to the checked in version, the integration does not check it in. However, if the .frm file has an associated .frx file, the integration checks in the .frx file as a read-only file. To avoid this problem, set the option to allow identical checkins.

#CMBU00032286 (#36156) certain file names cause problems in snapshot view

Files with names such as AUX.ext, CON.ext, PRN.ext, or NUL.ext, where ext is any file extension, can be loaded into a snapshot view, but cannot be unloaded from the view or deleted from the system. This makes it impossible to delete parent directories of such files as well. We recommend that you avoid using files names that are identical to the names assigned to basic system elements.

Workaround: Enter the following command:

del \\?\drive:path 

#CMBU00032491 (#36391) MSWord terminates abruptly when ClearCase "SaveAs" initiated

We recommend that you not initiate an Add to Source Control operation from the ClearCase menu that appears when you right-click in the SaveAs dialog in MS Word. This may cause your Word application to terminate abruptly, and could possibly cause data loss.

#CMBU00032695 (#36614) opening multiple ‘nested' ClearQuest forms may cause crash

The UCM/ClearQuest integration does not prevent you from opening a ClearQuest form, then going to the form's UnifiedChangeManagement page, then using the shortcut menu in the change set to open a ClearCase dialog box, and then selecting Activity Properties, which opens a second ClearQuest form.

However, if you follow the above steps, the second ClearQuest form does not function correctly. In particular:

  • The Apply/Revert/Cancel buttons on the form have no text.

  • If you attempt to go to the form's UnifiedChangeManagement page, then dismiss the form, you get the error:

    Unable to load message ID 14090 from resources

    After displaying the above error, ClearCase crashes.

Therefore, we recommend that you not use the above procedure to open a second ClearQuest form.

#CMBU00033213 (#37203) clearhistory produces extremely small text on Japanese system

The font used for text and captions in the History Browser is 6 point type by default. This point size produces difficult-to-read output in the History Browser on a Japanese language system.

Workaround: To enlarge the font, click View>Options>Display>Fonts and select a larger font.

#CMBU00033224 (#37214) ClearCase may not recover from Windows 2000 Hibernate mode

Windows 2000 includes a Hibernate feature that allows the state of the current running system to be saved and restored quickly later on. Active ClearCase processes, as well as processes that have the ClearCase Network Provider loaded, may have TCP connections to servers on remote machines; such connections are likely to be closed by the servers while the system is in Hibernate mode. Therefore, the ClearCase client applications are likely to return errors when a user attempts to use them after the computer has been brought back from Hibernate mode.

#CMBU00033367 (#37371) delivery of selected activity does not detect directory dependency across activities

If you create a new element in one activity (for example, A) while the directory containing the element is checked out to a different activity (for example, B), you have created an implicit dependency of A on B. When selectively delivering activity A, you must also include activity B. Otherwise deliver reports the error: DBID not found.

#CMBU00033455 (#37464) pre-checkin trigger causes problem in Visual Basic projects

In Visual Basic when you attempt to add a project to ClearCase by clicking Tools>ClearCase>Add Files to ClearCase, the operation fails if the VOB in which the Visual Basic project resides has a trigger that requires users to enter a comment when checking in files. The Visual Basic IDE does not supply the comment that you enter in the Add to Source Control dialog box to the trigger.

To work around this problem, use ClearCase Explorer to add the project to source control. After you add the project to source control, checkin and checkout operations complete successfully from within the Visual Basic IDE.

#CMBU00033849 (#37912) MVFS cache sizes should not use too much kernel memory

When adjusting MVFS caches as described in Administrator's Guide, take care not to use too much of your kernel memory. If the cache size settings are too large, you may exhaust kernel memory, which can cause your system to hang or crash. The upper limits for cache sizes depend on the amount of memory in the system, the particular system configuration, and the nature of the work being performed on the system. A ClearCase administrator should monitor system memory use while increasing MVFS cache sizes.

#CMBU00033922 (#37995) Merge Manager displays duplicate dynamic views in list

Occasionally, when merging a file with Merge Manager, the combo box that indicates the view to be merged from, displays two instances of each available dynamic view. In this situation, you can click either dynamic view to select it. The symptom is not known to cause any problems.

#CMBU00034354 (#38464) no reporting of ClearQuest script error text

Using the UCM-ClearQuest integration, you can customize the Check Before Deliver ClearQuest Visual Basic policy script. However, if the script as customized contains an error that causes the Visual Basic interpreter to display an error exception, the Deliver dialog box reports this error like this:

An error occurred during the deliver.
Unexpected error in deliver.

It does not report the actual error exception text which would enable the user to diagnose the problem script

Workaround: To see the error exception text, use the cleartool deliver command.

#CMBU00034355 (#38465) must kill ClearQuest server to see schema upgrade

Using the UCM/ClearQuest integration, if you upgrade a ClearQuest user database to a new schema revision, in order to see the change on a client machine which was connected to that user database, you must do the following on the client machine:

On Windows NT or Windows 2000:

  1. Open the Task Manager and go to the Processes tab page

  2. From the list, select CQINTS~2.EXE or CQINTSVR11.EXE

  3. Click End Process

On Windows 98:

  1. Type CTRL+ALT+DELETE

  2. In the list that opens, select CQINTSVR11

  3. Click End Task

#CMBU00034481 (#38606) changes to UCMCustomQuery1 do not appear in dialog box

When using the UCM/ClearQuest integration, the list of records displayed in the dropdown list on the Add To Source, Check Out and Check In dialog boxes is generated by running the UCMCustomQuery1 query, which can be customized. (Note that in order to see the effect of your changes, you must use the File>Save menu item to save the query edits.)

However, if you copied the Public Queries UCMCustomQuery1 query into your Personal Queries folder and edited it there, the changes are not immediately seen. To see your changes, you must stop the integration server process:

On Windows NT or Windows 2000:

  1. Open the Task Manager and go to the Processes tab page

  2. From the list, select CQINTS~2.EXE or CQINTSVR11.EXE

  3. Click End Process

On Windows 98:

  1. Type CTRL+ALT+DELETE

  2. In the list that opens, select CQINTSVR11

  3. Click End Task

After stopping the process on your computer, open the dialog box again. Further edits to /PersonalQueries/UCMCustomQuery1 show up automatically without having to shut down the process again.

#CMBU00034719 (#38869) Refresh button may vanish in ClearCase Administration Console

While displaying a view private file in the ClearCase Administrator's or Host Console, resizing its column headers or displaying the shortcut menu causes the Refresh toolbar button to be hidden. If this happens, you can access the Refresh action by using the Action menu pull-down, or from the shortcut menu of the view private file's display.

#CMBU00034976 using Browse button in Share dialog hangs Visual Basic integration

When using the ClearCase integration with Microsoft Visual Basic, do not use the 'browse' button in the 'share' dialog, or you may cause the application to hang. Instead, either supply a complete path to the share dialog using the edit box, or avoid using the dialog at all.

#CMBU00034809 externally removed view still appears as Web interface session

If a user's web view is deleted from outside the web interface (e.g. with a "cleartool rmview" command on the web server), it will no longer show up in the Select View page of the web interface, even though the corresponding view location area on the client may still exist. There is no indication that the server component of the view disappeared.

#CMBU00042553 Diff Merge tool does not display multibyte characters correctly

The Diff Merge tool may not display multibyte characters correctly.

Workaround:

  1. On the Tools menu in Diff Merge, open the Options dialog box .

  2. Click Change.

  3. Change the font to one that displays multibyte characters correctly on your machine.

#CMBU00042778 cleartool commands use one date format

The output of most cleartool commands that display date information uses an invariant format that ignores regional standards.

#CMBU00043178 using Web interface with Netscape causes error messages

Clients using Netscape Navigator may cause error message similar to the following to appear in the web server logs:

File does not exist: /usr/atria/web/applets/com/ms/security/PermissionID.class
File does not exist: /usr/atria/web/applets/com/ms/security/PolicyEngine.class  

These error messages are harmless and can be ignored.

#CMBU00045914 problem running multiple instances of regsvr32

On WIndows, running multiple instances of regsvr32 to register the same .dll in the same VOB and view may cause the machine to hang.

#CMBU00045923 ClearCase Explorer dialog items clipped in simplified Chinese version

When running ClearCase on a simplified Chinese version of Windows, the labels on dialog boxes are clipped. This effect results from a bug in Microsoft Foundation Classes. Microsoft has no known workaround for this problem.

#CMBU00046779 'clearprompt -list' output is limited to 512 lines

On Windows, clearprompt -list only displays the first 512 lines in a list of items. The remaining items are ignored.

#CMBU00046883 Source Output window no longer displays ClearCase status messages

To enable logging text to display inside an IDE, the user must set the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion\SCC\DebugTrace = 1 (or = 3 for additional logging to a file). This logging mechanism works for any IDE that supports messages from an SCC provider.

A Not a VOB Object message appears if you select Add to Source Control. In this case, the SCC proceeds to add the element to source control.

#CMBU00047155 elements with Cyrillic names are not handled correctly

There is a bug in Microsoft library, which affects a display of extended characters within cmd.exe. We know Cyrillic and German characters are affected. This problem only happens within cmd.exe when cleartool.exe is used.

#CMBU00048303 lsclients command no longer shows if release is patched

Patch information for ClearCase releases may not be correctly displayed by cleartool lsclients .

Workaround: Use cleartool -ver.

#CMBU00050929 tutorial fails if username contains period or space characters

Usernames that have a period in them (for example, j.doe) or a space (for example, jane Doe) will cause the ClearCase tutorials to fail. Create a username without any periods and spaces before running the ClearCase tutorials.

#CMBU00052053 limitations on using CAL with UCM

While you can view and manipulate UCM trigger types using the ClearCase Automation Library (CAL), you cannot currently apply these trigger types to UCM objects from CAL.

#CMBU00053473 problems with old version of Base ClearCase-ClearQuest integration

There may be situations where the original Windows version of the Base ClearCase/ClearQuest integration ("V1") fails to see the expected ClearQuest database because of outdated or incorrect description information that is maintained in the Registry. The error message that results is

"Error trying to logon to the ClearQuest database"

If this occurs do the following:.

  1. Using regedit, check the following registry entries and correct the information if necessary, where version is the ClearQuest version, e.g. 2002.05.00 and user is the current user name.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational Software\ClearQuest\version\Common\CQIntSvr\user
  2. Using the Windows NT Task Manager or similar tool appropriate for your operating system, locate and end the process: cqintsvr11.exe. The process will automatically be restarted as needed and will check the registry for the latest values of the keys in Step 1.

#CMBU00053901 JIDL compiler fails in MVFS on Windows NT systems

Using a JIDL compiler from Orbacus (www.Orbacus.com) fails within MVFS on Windows NT systems , but not on Windows 2000 systems.

Workaround: Work within a snapshot view, compile outside of ClearCase, or run on a Windows 2000 system within MVFS.

#CMBU00053969 CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP is ignored by MVFS

Because of changes made to the MVFS to support Active Directory, users who are members of multiple groups may experience problems creating and modifying view-private files in dynamic views on Windows if they are not the view's owner.

To correct this problem, take either of the following actions:

  • Run %ATRIAHOME%\etc\utils\ntlogon_util.exe -r as part of your logon script.

  • Edit the Windows registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion\SetPrimaryGroupAtLogon
    to set the value to 1, if running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or 2 if running Windows NT.

#CMBU00054601 'cleartool ln' displays incorrect error message in case of duplicate name

When trying to create a VOB symbolic link with the same name as an existing link, youl get the error

Can't modify directory because it is not checked out. 
Unable to create link: "M:\path\file".
even when the parent directory is checked out. The command executes correctly but the message should indicate that the link could not be created due to the presence of an existing link with the same name.

#CMBU00054897 files are rendered as double-spaced after removing carriage return markers

On Windows 2000, if the Diff Merge tool is already set to show the carriage return markers on the display, and those markers are turned off, the resulting display is double-spaced. This is a display problem only, and can be corrected by clicking Edit->Restart Comparison. The application will start normally on the next invocation.

#CMBU00054904 Add View Shortcut dialog stalls when diskette drive is offline

The Add View Shortcut dialog may appear to be hung if the diskette drive is disconnected, as it might be on a laptop. This dialog contains a drive letter combo box which should be filled with available drive letters, as well as the drive letter that may be already connected to the view that you chose. If a diskette drive is disconnected, it may take 10 or 15 seconds to time out. During this time the application is inaccessible.

#CMBU00055513 Netscape doesn't list integration stream when creating a UCM project view

When creating a UCM integration view, the stream it will be attached to, and any existing web views for that stream, are displayed in Internet Explorer, but not in Netscape Navigator, due to limitations of the support for dynamic HTML in Navigator 4.x.

#CMBU00055887 when using Web interface, merge from a dynamic view fails when performed on a file checked out to the source view

When using a dynamic view as a merge source in the ClearCase Web interface, any elements which are checked out in that view (and need merging) cause an error during the merge. The elements should be checked in (or uncheckedout, as appropriate) in the source view before merging.

#CMBU00056755 limitations on deliver/rebase status display when using Netscape Navigator

On Internet Explorer and above, deliver and rebase status is indicated by incremental updates to the status text area, the transcript, and the file listing area, as data is received from the server. Because of bugs in Netscape Navigator 4 which causes the browser to crash when partially occluded, the file listing area cannot be updated incrementally (that is, changes to checkout and merge state cannot be updated incrementally). When using the ClearCase Web interface through Netscape Navigator 4, the file listing area is updated after each major phase of the deliver/rebase request has completed.

#CMBU00056786 using Report Builder with dynamic views requires local administrator privileges

When running the Report Builder, you must have local administrator rights on the computer to be able to create reports about the state of dynamic views. Otherwise, dynamic views do not appear in the combo box list of views when you are selecting one on which to create a report. Any snapshot views created on the local system do appear on the list, whether or not you have local administrator privileges.

#CMBU00056810 UCM pre-defined queries are broken when upgrading to package UCM3.0 or UCM4.0

The UnifiedChangeManagement package has six pre-defined public queries,

  • UCMUserQueries\UCMProjects

  • UCMUserQueries\MyToDoList

  • UCMUserQueries\ActiveForUser

  • UCMUserQueries\ActiveForProject

  • UCMUserQueries\ActiveForStream

  • UCMSystemQueries\UCMCustomQuery1

Two of the above queries are used by UCM/ClearQuest integration, UCMCustomQuery1 and MyToDoList.

In UCM1.0 and UCM2.0 Package, query MyToDoList is defined as:

AND
    ucm_statetype in ('Active', 'Ready')
    Owner = '(CURRENT_USER)'

Upgrading to the UCM3.0 package requires the AMStateType 1.0 package; after applying the AMStateType 1.0 package, the field ucm_statetype no longer exists (using am_statetype instead). But since the pre-defined queries in UCM 3.0 do not reflect this change, they do not perform the expected functions.

This problem is corrected in the UCM 4.0 package shipped with ClearQuest Version 2002.05.00. To correct the problem in UCM 3.0, replace occurences of ucm_statetype with am_statetype where they appear, using the same values that were associated with the previous field name. For example, the MyToDoList query should be defined as

AND
    am_statetype in ('Active', 'Ready')
    Owner = '(CURRENT_USER)'

#CMBU00057114 interoperability issues running UNIX Web server and Windows ClearCase Web client

When entering a version identifier as an Advanced version-selector in the Welcome to Merge Manager page, you must use forward slashes (/) if the Web server is running on UNIX. If the Web server is running on Windows, you may use either forward (/) or backward (\) slashes.)

#CMBU00057168 occasional problems using 'Back' button on Netscape 4

When using the ClearCase Web interface on a Netscape 4 browser, use of the browser's Back button can cause unintended results in the Web user interface.

#CMBU00057568 creating symlink to VOB root from child directory works but produces spurious messages

On Windows/NT, creating a symbolic link to the VOB root from a child directory works correctly but produces spurious error and warning messages:

cleartool: Error: Symbolic Link cycle detected for "vobname\child_directory\vobroot". 
cleartool: Error: Errors were encountered in loading "\vobname\child_directory\vobroot". 
cleartool: Warning: Trouble updating name "vobroot" in snapshot view: error detected by ClearCase subsystem.  

The output form the command indicates that the link is successfully created and is correct.

#CMBU00057643 when using XML Diff Merge, 'Show All Diffs' and 'Show All Conflicts' blank the web browser pane

When using the XML Diff Merge tool, if the web browser pane is visible, and the user clicks either Show All Diffs or Show All Conflicts, the web browser display goes blank. The web browser pane should be unaffected.

Workaround: Click one of the contributor panes, and the web pane is refreshed.

#CMBU00057758 XML Diff Merge does not support UTF-8 Byte-Order Mark

Some applications, for example Windows Notepad on Windows 2000, may include a Byte Order Mark (BOM) when directed to save results encoded as UTF-8. If the first three bytes of an XML file are { EF BB BF } (hex), the file is UTF-8 and the 3-byte sequence is the BOM. While a BOM is mandatory for UTF-16 files, it is optional for UTF-8 files.

The XML parser used by XML Diff Merge does not recognize the UTF-8 BOM, and instead reports a syntax error. To compare or merge such files with XML Diff Merge, one of the following workarounds may be used:

  • Remove the BOM (first three bytes) from the files. They will then parse and load as UTF-8

  • Compare or Merge using the text Diff Merge tool (to do so, use the button for this in the XML Diff Merge Parse Error dialog).

  • Convert the XML data to another encoding, for example, UTF-16 (in which the BOM is recognized), or ISO-8859-1 (for which it is not used).

#CMBU000 57983 avascript error when navigating to certain directories with symlinks

In the ClearCase Web interface, when you browse to a directory that contains a symbolic link with a backslash ('\') in its link text, a Javascript error is displayed.

Workaround: Change symbolic links to use forward slashes instead. (Forward slashes work with both Windows and UNIX clients.)
