This patch contains the following software changes:


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.


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.


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.


PI86903:

   Problem: When ClearCase server-side group substitution is enabled, and a user whose UID is not mappable to a username and set of groups attempts to access a view, the view_server emits many log messages about the unmapped user such as
"No group list for uid 12345"

   Fix: When an unknown user accesses ClearCase, the log messages about their account are classified as warnings and are rate-limited to once per user per cache lifetime interval.


PI87052:

   Problem: ClearCase Windows clients get errors when communicating with Solaris SPARC VOB or view servers, similar to this:
credmap_lookup_whole_string_credentials call failed: RPC: Server can't decode arguments

This occurs when both the client and server are running one of these ClearCase releases: 9.0.0.4, 9.0.0.5, 9.0.1, or 9.0.1.1

   Fix: The VOB and view servers have been fixed to work correctly with Windows clients


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.


PI88751:

   Problem: As a result of changes to simplify the procedure for rebuilding the ClearCase MVFS kernel module on Linux, the instructions in /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/README.txt are incorrect.

   Fix: The /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/README.txt has been updated.


PI88855:

   Problem: When using ClearCase clients on to access a VOB hosted on a different operating system type (one side is Windows, the other is UNIX/Linux), identities for VOB objects may show up with the server's identities instead of being mapped to the client's identities.

   Fix: The ClearCase client has been fixed to properly map VOB object identities to the local operating system's identities.


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.
