This patch contains the following software changes:


PI24698:

   Problem: When using the Rational ClearCase File Service (CCFS) as the interoperability solution to access Unix-hosted VOBS from Windows you may encounter a "Permission denied" error.

   Fix: Windows now skips permission denied ports.


PI29080:

   Problem: When mounting a ClearCase VOB on some versions of Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, SUSE Linux 12.x, Ubuntu Linux 16.04), the mount will succeed, but a warning will be displayed: "mount.mvfs: Warning: unable to open mount table".

   Fix: The ClearCase VOB mount code has been updated so that the system mount table is updated correctly on versions of Linux where it is virtual, rather than a file /etc/mtab.  With this fix, the warning message is eliminated.


PI59858:

   Problem: For base ClearCase VOBs using the CMI integration, findmerge -avobs fails when two or more VOBs have elements that require merging.

   Fix: The findmerge -avobs command should work properly for multiple VOBs using the CMI integration.


PI63237:

   Problem: ClearCase reop triggers do not block the request for mastership in synchronous request for mastership checkouts and mkelems.

   Fix: Preop triggers on reqmaster will now fire during synchronous request for mastership checkouts and mkelems, and will allow the User to block requests for mastership during those operations.


PI76695:

   Problem: As documented in ClearCase technote 1259280, accessing non-VOB files using a view-extended pathname on Linux kernels after 2.4.18 is not supported due to kernel limitations.  However, on some kernels, this may cause a system crash. 

   Fix: The non-VOB pathname access using a view-extended pathname is still not supported, but ClearCase has been updated so that these references will not cause a system crash.


PI77492:

   Problem: A user is unable to connect to a ClearCase Remote Client WAN server, if the login URL contains a trailing  white space.

   Fix: Trailing white space is now removed from URLs in all cases.


PI77782:

   Problem: The ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration was creating multiple ClearQuest web sessions when using ClearTeam Explorer with a web-based view.

   Fix: The UCM/ClearQuest integration now uses fewer ClearQuest web sessions when using ClearTeam Explorer with a web-based view.


PI78348:

   Problem: In ClearTeam Explorer, the graphical version tree would not display the view-selected version correctly if the element name contained @@ (version-extended characters) in the middle of the name.

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer is fixed to display the view-selected version correctly when an element name contains @@ (version-extended characters) in the middle of the name.
Note that using the version-extended characters at the end of an element name is not supported in ClearCase.


PI81434:

   Problem: ClearCase clearmrgman dumps core when performing "checkin".

   Fix: The clearmrgman cleanup handler has been fixed.


PI81810:

   Problem: When exporting a ClearCase view and VOB path for non-ClearCase access from a RedHat Linux server, applications on the client side may experience access denied or similar errors.

   Fix: Necessary permission override checks were added to properly handle the root user id for access, rather than blocking the remote access for root.


PI82633:

   Problem: The scroll bar in missing in ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) version tree for some versions of elements that have a large number of labels.

   Fix: The missing scrollbar issue has been fixed.


PI86344:

   Problem: ClearCase users with certain special characters in their password such as: an UMLAUT cannot successfully create an automatic view owing to rview agent failing to log into the server.		

   Fix: The rview agent now is capable of properly logging into cmserver using the user's credentials even if they have the afore mentioned special characters.


PI87929:

   Problem: While using a ClearCase dynamic view directory reading operations for directories with many elements may take longer than necessary.

   Fix: MVFS was changed to use all the data provided by the view server for directory enumerations.


PI88195:

   Problem: Attempts to rebuild ClearCase MVFS on Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-132 result in build error.

   Fix: MVFS source code was changed to be compatible with kernel 3.13.0-132.


PM97816:

   Problem: The ClearCase xcleardiff gui does not display color options correctly in ClearCase 8.0.x running on Linux

   Fix: Color management has been corrected.
