APAR | Description |
APAR C150618 | The multithreaded albd_server crashing due to race conditions between two threads working with the same client. Also, signal handler is logging errors with the non-main thread. |
APAR C163273 | Displaying directory contents in ClearTeam Explorer for the first time is significantly delayed. |
APAR PH40651 | While scrolling through a large project with multiple files in Visual Studio Solution Explorer, there was a performance issue. |
APAR PH40993 | rcleartool endview {automatic view tag} causes CRCLI2035E Unable to complete command "lsview" error if rcleartool lsview -long run against view. |
APAR PH44576 | Using the ClearCase Admin Console GUI (ccadminconsole) during the selection of a view-tag or vob-tag, an "MMC snapin error dialog" might pop up. |
APAR PH51767 | Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2017 UI shows the 'loading symbol' as a mouse pointer for several minutes when integrated with ClearCase. |
APAR PH52494 | UNIX user format is different from the Windows domain qualified name. Windows user format contains domain prefix so that it assumes both the users are different and checking out new licenses for the same user. |
APAR PH52579 | ALBD Service name is displayed as Atria. |
APAR PH52716 | ClearCase 10.0.0.0 prints "Bad oplog entry descriptor checksum." when importing packets from an FL4 VOB. |
APAR PH53037 | Upon opening "ccadminconsole -> My Host" in IBM Rational ClearCase versions 10.0.0.x, users will see a popup (or in the status field at the bottom of the window) with the following message: Host |
APAR PH53181 | Unable to pull the mastership of VOB element in ClearCase Explorer. |
APAR PH53222 | ClearCase on RedHat 9.0 or higher, Ubuntu 22.04.1 or higher, or Ubuntu 20.04.5 HWE kernel may experience a system crash caused by a stack overflow. |
APAR PH53226 | "Loose" backtick in makefile causes clearmake runaway on Linux. |
APAR PH53268 | When ClearCase is stopped, MVFS unload and unmount are invoked always. This is giving errors in server only installation or when MVFS is not installed or available. |
APAR PH53619 | While converting multibyte stream to wide character, the output parameter was not updated when "\0" is passed as input and this variable has the old value. The condition to break the loop was based on this variable and it was never coming out of the loop. This was the reason for hanging. |
APAR PH53707 | View created using the "use private branch" function with view profile throws an error attempting to display view profile in properties GUI. |
APAR PH54057 | While processing files with long lines, NULL character (\0) is encountered before EOL due to over loop of a NULL filled array. So, type manager errors out considering this as error data. |
APAR PH54259 | A warning is logged in the Installation Manager log file when installing ClearQuest 10.0.0.x that says there is a "circular order dependency in installable unit com.ibm.clearquest.service.control.bridge.iu.win_x86_64". |
APAR PH54334 | MVFS was initializing the file size using a structure that could not be correctly set up under specific conditions, mainly under high stress with parallel accesses. This was leading the memory manager to incorrectly deal with memory mapped files, resulting in zeroed pages. |
APAR PH55197 | Out of support Visual Studio 2010 runtimes are being installed by ClearCase. |
APAR PH55292 | Document fails to include a step to restart ClearQuest Web server. |
APAR PH55533 | When installing ClearQuest, the error - "You have entered the path to an installation of WebSphere Application Server that is not supported. Please point to a 64-bit installation of WAS." was displayed due to Installation Manager not being able to determine the WAS version and bitness because of Japanese output. |

APAR | Description |
defect C151797 | When running ClearCase clearmake in a parallel, or distributed, mode, may 'hang' if there is an issue with starting up an abe process. If an abe has been started, and clearmake has assigned a target to that abe, and then the abe fails to start up in time, or there is a communication problem between clearmake and the abe, clearmake will try and assign the target to a different abe, and clearmake may hang if there are any problems trying to re-assign that target to a different abe. |
defect C266062 | Poor signal handling can result in a race condition when forking new processes, causes thread deadlock and ClearCase albd hang. |
defect C303560 | ClearCase "cleartool getcache -view -cview" may show negative values. |
APAR PH25206 | The ClearCase infocenter is missing information on user region map file. |
APAR PH36404 | On a ClearCase Multisite recursive import failure, the condition check before deleting a packet was missing to check if there is any target VOB available or not. It was only checking the variable which updates when -invob is provided. Hence, import process assumed there were no target VOB available and packet was deleted. |
APAR PH38407 | The ClearCase startup script may fail to create /var/lock/subsys. |
APAR PH41792 | The ClearCase clearprompt GUI has multiple rather-obvious display problems... (64 bit only). |
APAR PH42350 | When creating a new view using the ClearCase front desk, the "Edit view configuration" window appears and then "disappears." |
APAR PH43904 | SClearCase and VersionVault infocenters reference 16-bit build auditing and vdmaudit. |
APAR PH44551 | ClearCase triggers that prompt for user input fail. |
APAR PH44670 | Non-ClearCase mounts (nca exported view/VOB) may not resolve symlinks on Linux with kernel after 3.13 inclusive. |
APAR PH44671 | The ClearCase MVFS may cause system crashes when dealing with cleartext files via UNC paths that refer to local system. |
APAR PH44742 | The ClearCase checkvob operation may incorrectly report elements as being locked. |
APAR PH45599 | The ClearCase MVFS was missing a specific scenario when locking a cache structure. Certain structure member was changing during its manipulation during the cache usage, causing the crash. |
APAR PH46426 | In a IBM Rational ClearCase integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 environment, when the "ClearCase Base" toolbar is enabled (view->Toolbars->ClearCase Base) in a webview, setting the focus on the solution panel will result in not being able to Minimize the Visual Studio window. Attempts to minimize the window results in it maximizing again automatically. WORKAROUND: Set the focus to another panel, then minimize or disable the "ClearCase Base" toolbar |
APAR PH46428 | ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer when delivering a baseline from "deliver from stream" window. If there is more that one baseline available for delivery and one is removed the "OK" button is greyed out. |
APAR PH46451 | ClearCase clearmake may crash when exiting. |
APAR PH46726 | Using ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer: if you click on cancel during the complete phase of a long delivery, it doesn't stop the delivery and you have to wait until the end when all check-ins are done. After that, you need to resume the delivery to finalize it |
APAR PH46918 | Mounting ClearCase automatic views on Linux may cause a kernel crash. |
APAR PH47569 | When importing sync packets, ClearCase MultiSite fails without printing an error message if EOF of a packet file is reached while fetching version data or the follow-on packet is missing or this was the only packet in the set. |
APAR PI72597 | While creating a ClearCase brtype with "-global -acquire" flags, it internally acquiring ordinary types of same name even though object mastership is not present. So it leads to creation of multiple global definition hyperlinks for local type. |
APAR PI79611 | In the Rational ClearTem Explorer (CTE) ClearQuest (CQ) client, you may find that the static text fields populated by another field (via field dependency) show up blank, rather than the expected value. When the user Click on the "Customer" tab, find the field "new_field" and populate it with a value and the same value should be reflected in the static text field. However, the refresh doesn't happen and the static text field just shows the label. |
APAR PI92391 | The ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer ClearQuest node may truncate error messages and contain exceptions. The result is to pop up with the error message "Throw an error message ...". the mentioned error message is shown in the popped-up error dialog box in CTE. |

"CS0173847" | Problem:Improper signal handling may cause a hang.
Fix: Signal handling was corrected. |
PH23325 | Problem: Adding multiple directories to a web view using rcleartool update -add is failing even though view information is same. and fails silently.
Fix: Modified the view info comparison check against reference to contents of object using equals method. |
PH25873 | Problem: Installing or upgrading to ClearCase 9.0.1.7 and later incorrectly installs the ClearCase integration into unsupported versions of Visual Studio. The integration then interferes with the correct operation of the unsupported version of Visual Studio.
Fix:The installation of ClearCase has been updated to list the supported versions of Visual Studio as optional features that the user can enable as desired during the installation. The installation of the integration into the unsupported versions of Visual Studio has been removed. |
PH28419 | Problem: Creating Automatic view fails when user region maps are in use and the creating user is not mapped to the WAN server's actual region.
Fix: ClearCase automatic view creation with a region map file has been fixed. |
PH27989 | Problem: Memory allocation issue may be noticed, in rare cases, when events are received during shutdown.
Fix: Event received during the shutdown process are handled to address these issues. |
PH29677 | Problem: When using the Gnu make compatability mode and specifying a clearmake variable on the command line that contains a reference to another variable, the variable declaration passed down to child makes was incorrect and will cause a clearmake parsing syntax error.
Fix: The variable string being passed to the child clearmake process has been formatted correctly so that the clearmake parsing is correctly done and the build continues. |
PH31061 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer may produce a MalformedResponseException pop-up error when large attributes are encountered.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer was modified to properly display elements that have large attributes. |
PH31419 | Problem: Customer may experience some delays in operations when listing files in automatic view.
Fix: Multi Version File System (MVFS) was modified to avoid creating additional cache files. |
PH33132 | Problem:On Linux systems with ext4 filesystems, when accessing directories in that filesystem through a ClearCase view-extended path the ls command may return incomplete results.
Fix: This problem with view-extended access to ext4 directories is fixed in ClearCase 9.0.1.12, 9.0.2.4, and 9.1.0.1. |
PH33465 | Problem: Autmounted CC VOBs, when manually umounted are not automatically remounted on the next access if said access is through view extended paths.
Fix: This problem is fixed in ClearCase 9.0.1.12, 9.0.2.4, and 9.1.0.1. |
PH33498 | Problem: Loading of activities from PVOB --> Project --> Stream --> Activities was taking more time than it used to take in 9.0.1.4 and before.
Fix:ClearTeam Explorer has been modified to efficiently load activities. |
PH33653 | Problem: lad_server.exe(152696): The ClearQuest-UCM OSLC and CMI integrations may core on linux_x86 if a parsed ClearQuest record headline contains characters that cannot be converted to the local code page.
Fix: These integrations should no longer core if a parsed ClearQuest record headline contains characters that cannot be converted to the local code page. |
PH33891 | Problem: Customer is unable to see 'CheckedOut but removed' elements from ClearTeam Explorer.
Fix: We have introduced new 'State' column in 'ClearCase Checkouts' view to show the state as 'Checked Out but Removed' for all the files which are deleted from the filesystem. (ClearCase Checkouts' view can be accessed from Window--> Show View --> Other... --> ClearTeam Explorer --> ClearCase Checkouts from ClearTeam Explorer). |
PH33893 | Problem: CM Server is-eclipsing property was not recognizing checkouts as eclipsable objects.
Fix: Is-eclipsing calculations are now performed for checkouts. |
PH34453 | Problem: ClearCase Search was disabled for dynamic views and (if enabled) was resulting '0 matches', even if matching resources were available.
Fix: ClearCase Search is now enabled for dynamic views and resulting correct match, displaying all the matching resources in 'ClearCase Search'. |
PH35828 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase / Cadence Virtuoso integration allows a user to perform SCM operations in both the "Library Manager" and in the editor itself. If a user imports a checkedout cell view into the library manager to checkin a schematic that is currently being edited, changes in the schematic editor can be lost.
Fix: Added a logic for handling the unmanaged lock files. |
PH37165 | Problem: In the ClearCase Cadence Integration: If a cell view under virtuoso is checked out with "-unreserved" option, the "Show file status"may throw Errors and not show the status of the cell.
Fix: Checked out with "-unreserved" option has been fixed. |
PH37613 | Problem: Running ClearCase with Crowdstrike installed may cause some performance degradation.
Fix: Multi Version File System (MVFS) was modified to handle Crowdstrike demand. |
PI06930 | Problem: When reformatvob or db_dumper is invoked and if the root component of the VOB is not available, CRDE validation fails and triggers db__err_abort_call().
Fix: CRDE now validates the failure and continues with db_dumper or reformatvob execution without fail. |
PI14642 | Problem: Dev stream creation from a baseline errors out which is expected. However, the displayed error message is not much informative.
Fix: Rephrased the error string to cover all 4 rebase rules mentioned in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSH27_9.0.1/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ref.doc/topics/ct_rebase.htm and eliminated the misleading phrase "from the same project". |
PI48845 | Problem: Maximum packet size for a VOB replica packet, in config file, was set to much higher value than which is allowed. Due to which, packet shipping was failing for the larger packets which was adhering the maximum size set in config file.
Fix: Changed the maximum packet size to correct one. |
PI52455 | Problem: Delivering an already delivered baseline should provide a more informative message.
Fix: When the same baseline is delivered again, following warning message is displayed:- cleartool: Warning: No activities to deliver from stream "d1" to target stream "i1". |
PI54489 | Problem: MULTITOOL CHREPLICA ON WINDOWS GUI INCORRECTLY ALLOWS CHANGING THE PRESERVATION MODE FOR A REMOTE VOB REPLICA TO PRESERVING.
Fix: Preservation mode of replica can be change to preserve only if none of the replica from vob-family has preservation mode. |
PI60118 | Problem: Rebasing an integration stream to a baseline in the same project fails without providing proper error message.
Fix: Handling the present use case to display error message why rebase is not possible. "Can't rebase to baseline \"%s\"\nof component \"%s\". You can only rebase an integration stream to\nbaselines from other integration streams, or to import or initial baselines.\n". |
PI64433 | Problem: Recommended and/or member of composite baseline can be removed by executing "cleartool rmbl" if the baseline is from private VOB only but public VOB baselines removal is not allowed.
Fix: Now both public & private VOB baselines can't be removed, by default and retained consistency. Also introduced a new CLI flag "public", which prevents public VOB removal - same as present behavior. |
PI89155 | Problem: The ClearCase UCM deliver dialog cannot be completed after skipping a merge conflict.
Fix: On Restart user will get the dialog to resolve the "merge conflict" not error dialog. |
PH10137 | Problem: Microsoft VC 6, 7, and 7.1 Redistributables should no longer be distributed with CC/CQ as they present potential vulnerabilities.
Fix: Microsoft VC 6, 7, and 7.1 Redistributables have been removed from the installation for CC/CQ 9.1. This will not be fixed in 9.0.x. Please upgrade to the 64-bit 9.1.x release to get this fix. |
PH17984 | Problem: The graphical help pages on Unix are out of date. They are from version 8.0.
Fix: The graphical help pages on Unix have been updated to match the version of the product. |
PH33110 | Problem: The installation of ClearCase 9.1 may cause Installation Manager 1.9.1.4 to crash.
Fix: ClearCase 9.1.0.1 install now succeeds with Installation Manager 1.9.1.4 |
PH33111 | Problem: The "cleartool find" command, without options shows visible and nvisible (not visible) elements and not only visible elements as documented.
Fix: The "find" topic/man page has been updated in ClearCase 9.1.0.1. |
PH34674 | Problem: time_t structure memory size increased on 64-bit platform. This made reformatvob and other DB related functionalities to read value from more memory locations which was not matching the actual value.
Fix: Cleartool Time values are adjusted which fixes present and related memory read issues. |
PH35812 | Problem: Multiple display issues with windows native UCM GUIs after install of, or upgrade to, ClearCase 9.1.0.0.
Fix: The ClearCase gui issues have been resolved. |
PH37186 | Problem: ClearCase snapshot view move procedure incorrectly states purpose of xcopy /k option.
Fix: The help topic has been updated in ClearCase 9.1.0.1. |
"CS0085663" | Problem: Sporadic kernel crash when closing files under certain conditions.
Fix: MVFS was modified to validate some kernel structures when a file is closing. |
PH20838 | Problem: While creating a view with NFS mount point - specifically with extended host path name, host path name was not captured correctly. Hence, the view creation used to fail with incomplete host path name.
Fix: Updated the parsing logic function to populate the host path name completely with which now the view creation succeeds. |
PH24953 | Problem: Cleartool commands prompting for comments will not respond to ctrl-c, sigpipes, etc., until after comment is completely supplied.
Fix: Cleartool signal handling was corrected. |
PH26821 | Problem: When using the legacy Clearcase gui to run a describe on a ClearCase element on Solaris 11.x the window is not bought up and the command fails silently.
Fix: The script used to implement the legacy Clearcase gui describe command was fixed. |
PH27795 | Problem: Using ClearCase clearmake and printing "time spent building with abes: ..." caused clearmake to crash and the build to abort.
Fix: Memory is now freed after printing. |
PH28419 | Problem: MVFS wasn't handling the correct error code when trying to read information from registry and the data was bigger than expected, leading MVFS to fail its load process.
Fix: The MVFS is now able to manage itself to deal with bigger data. |
PI41286 | Problem: During findmerge, file elements are checked repeatedly in directory passes as well, considering it as a directory, because initially all VOB elements are marked as "not a file". Hence, an error message is printed repeatedly due to the repetitive attempt of searching the file.
Fix: Marked the file element at the initial stage with which now file elements are checked only once in file pass. |

Fix: Cleartool commands prompting for comments will not respond to ctrl-c, sigpipes, etc., until after comment is completely supplied. So to handle the signals as they arrive, we have used PFM_SELECT_INHIBITED() in imsg_get_input(). Also used "fcntl()" system call to get the current flag states for retaining and set non-blocking state for file descripter before calling fgets(). This helps to unblock the signals in fgets and process by using external pfm_raise() call.. |
PH26821 | Problem: When using the legacy Clearcase gui to run a describe on a ClearCase element on Solaris 11.x the window is not bought up and the command fails silently.

Fix:The correct code error is tested and MVFS is now able to manage itself to deal with bigger data. |
PI70628 | Problem: While describing a hyperlink in ClearCase with "-fmt" flag no output is displayed as the events were already scrubbed.
Fix: Added a new warning to notify the user that the hyperlink events were scrubbed. |
PI41286 | Problem:During findmerge, file elements are checked repeatedly in directory passes as well, considering it as a directory, because initially all VOB elements are marked as "not a file". Hence, error message is printed repeatedly due to the repetitive attempt of searching the file.

PI52455 | Problem: Delivering an already delivered baseline should provide a more informative message.
Fix: When the same baseline is delivered again, following warning message is displayed:- cleartool: Warning: No activities to deliver from stream "d1" to target stream "i1". |
PI54489 | Problem: MULTITOOL CHREPLICA ON WINDOWS GUI INCORRECTLY ALLOWS CHANGING THE PRESERVATION MODE FOR A REMOTE VOB REPLICA TO PRESERVING.
Fix: Preservation mode of replica can be change to preserve only if none of the replica from vob-family has preservation mode. |
PI60118 | Problem: Rebasing an integration stream to a baseline in the same project fails without providing proper error message.
Fix: Handling the present use case to display error message why rebase is not possible. "Can't rebase to baseline \"%s\"\nof component \"%s\". You can only rebase an integration stream to\nbaselines from other integration streams, or to import or initial baselines.\n". |
PI64433 | Problem: Recommended and/or member of composite baseline can be removed by executing "cleartool rmbl" if the baseline is from private VOB only but public VOB baselines removal is not allowed.
Fix: Now both public & private VOB baselines can't be removed, by default and retained consistency. Also introduced a new CLI flag "public", which prevents public VOB removal - same as present behavior. |
PI89155 | Problem: The ClearCase UCM deliver dialog cannot be completed after skipping a merge conflict.
Fix: On Restart user will get the dialog to resolve the "merge conflict" not error dialog. |

APAR | Description |
CS0085663 | Problem: Sporadic kernel crash when closing files under certain conditions.
Fix: MVFS was modified to validate some kernel structures when a file is closing. |
CS0100993 | Problem: When running a build using clearmake, a segment fault may occur if clearmake encounters an extremely large macro expansion.
Fix: Clearmake has been updated to address large macro expansions. |
CS0111980 | Problem: Clearcase does not make it clear which VOB the below error message refers to. db.m:146 DB__WRONG_SERVER "Process not running on registry specified hostname (%s)\n". Also prints redundant error messages in db_server log.
Fix: To be more specific, vob path name is added in the error message and also added check against vob path name to avoid redundant error messages for each db_server instance. |
CS0139156 | Problem: Excessive output in lad_log with "Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed:"
Fix: Now for an invalid user the error message is printed only one time in the lad_server log. |
PH09114 | Problem: When iterating through label (or branch) types in a Perl script, CAL crashes before returning the list of metadata types to the script.
Fix:CAL label & branch processing no longer results in a stack overflow. |
PH14405 | Problem: lad_server.exe(152696): Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed: NT after enabling the async license daemon Reported above error when user sid type is one of the group accounts. Also lad_server log can be overly verbose and grows dangerously quickly with this error.
Fix: Group accounts no longer cause the lad_server to fail. |
PH20838 | Problem: While creating a view with NFS mount point - specifically with extended host path name, host path name was not captured correctly. Hence, the view creation used to fail with incomplete host path name.
Fix: Updated the parsing logic function to populate the host path name completely with which now the view creation succeeds. |
PH23654 | Problem: File was not getting merged from one branch to other as changing config spec was unloading the element. During merge search, merge happens only for loaded elements.
Fix: During Merge Search, refresh loads the element before initiating merge. So, after merge file and contents would be merged to destination branch |
PH24275 | Problem: Hovering over version in GUI vtree browser with multi-line command or other large amount of metadata causes tooltip to flicker.
Fix: In current fix we restrict the number of lines user can see on tool-tip. If number of lines crossed the defined one we are showing message with truncated text "...please use element properties to view full text", so that user can know that tool tip doesn't contain full text and he can see the full comment from properties. |
PH24953 | Problem: Cleartool commands prompting for comments will not respond to ctrl-c, sigpipes, etc., until after comment is completely supplied.
Fix: During Cleartool signal handling was corrected. |
PH26821 | Problem: When using the legacy Clearcase gui to run a describe on a ClearCase element on Solaris 11.x the window is not brought up and the command fails silently.
Fix: The script used to implement the legacy Clearcase gui describe command was fixed. |
PH27637 | Problem: Infocenter page on MVFS settings for samba significantly out of date.
Fix: The "Configuring Rational ClearCase to support Samba" topic has been updated in the help that installs with ClearCase 9.1 and in IBM Knowledge Center for ClearCase 9.1. |
PH27795 | Problem: Using ClearCase clearmake and printing "time spent building with abes: ..." caused clearmake to crash and the build to abort.
Fix: Memory is now freed after printing. |
PH27887 | Problem: In ClearCase 8.0.x version, when a user tries to check in or cancel checkout for views already open though editor, a warning dialog message were displayed saying “The file is currently open for edit…”. But, in ClearCase 9.0.x, this features were not available.
Fix: These features are now available in ClearCase 9.0.x version. |
PH28419 | Problem: MVFS wasn't handling the correct error code when trying to read information from registry and the data was bigger than expected, leading MVFS to fail its load process.
Fix: The MVFS is now able to manage itself to deal with bigger data. |
PH29893 | Problem:"Show File Status.." dialog crashes if there is a hidden folder.
Fix: The dialog no longer crashes. |
PH30138 | Problem: The path to squidtool was not properly quoted.
Fix: The squidtool application now spawns without issue. |
PH30160 | Problem: Visual Studio integration checks out source file parent directory during "remove from project, but not the disk".
Fix: Removing file element will not create new version for directory. |
PH30403 | Problem: During Manual Merge on parent directory, sub-directories were also getting merged due to issues in implemented refresh functionality.
Fix: Refresh functionality after manual merge operation has been fixed. |
PI08032 | Problem: Vob container's location dbid status was handled properly when a 'checkvob -fix' is done to fix a deleted container status. Due to which error occurred during database dumping process of 'reformatvob'.
Fix: Updated the container's status handling logic with which now 'reformatvob' is dumping and loading database successfully. |
PI41286 | Problem: During findmerge, file elements are checked repeatedly in directory passes as well, considering it as a directory, because initially all VOB elements are marked as "not a file". Hence, an error message is printed repeatedly due to the repetitive attempt of searching the file.
Fix: Marked the file element at the initial stage with which now file elements are checked only once in file pass. |
PI65098 | Problem: Copy and Paste of the share project in CTE renaming the project/file/folder gets NEP .
Fix: Code changes to handle the Null pointer exception during rename on the Copy-Pasted project are taken care of. |
PI77043 | Problem: The ClearCase clearprompt utility fails when the number of characters of a string is greater than 2069 characters.
Fix: Allocation of clearprompt's internal buffer was corrected. |
PI97705 | Problem: Cleartool rmver command execution validates for interested version before deleting the selected version. However, similar validation was missing while executing rmbranch command.
Fix: Cleartool rmbranch command execution now validates for any existing baseline in the branch and the command execution does not proceed if any baseline version is found on the branch. |

CS0089200 | Problem: MULTITOOL SYNCREPLICA -IMPORT" DELETES SOME PACKETS WHERE IT SHOULD REPORT "... NOT APPLICABLE TO ANY LOCAL VOB REPLICAS"
Fix: Corrected logic for syncreplica import. |
PH11076 | Problem: During a deliver to any stream where there is a preop trigger that looks for environment variable "CLEARCASE_POP_KIND" in an integration stream.Since CTE/CCBE were not setting this EV value hence triggers were failing.Same issue was found for Rebase operation.
Fix: Now CTE and CCBE are setting EV "CLEARCASE_POP_KIND" value and same we are able to see in trigger script during Deliver and Rebase (CHECKOUT and CHECKIN) Operations. And also it makes sure that Checkout and Checkin happen only during Deliver/Rebase. |
PH25670 | Problem: If an application running on Microsoft Windows tries to read a file in a ClearCase dynamic view using non-cached I/O, after it has already been in use for cached I/O, a deadlock may occur while flushing the cache, and that process and any other processes trying to access that file will hang.
Fix: MVFS handling of the FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING option during file open was modified to eliminate a possible deadlock. |
PH25682 | Problem: A segmentation fault may occur when running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 system.
Fix: Running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view no longer seg faults. |
PI42014 | Problem: When one or more VOB elements are ACL protected cleartool findmerge doesn't report any differences.
Fix:During cleartool findmerge command execution, ACL protected objects cannot be accessed and due to this failure command execution exits silently. Hence user was not notified about failure reason. Now error string - with problematic object name, will be displayed informing user about the inaccessibility. |
PI65406 | Problem: When running 'cleartool setcs' in a batch file with loading nonexisting vob in config spec, the 'update' of the view (implicitly started by the 'setcs') results in errors but the 'errorlevel' always returns 0 - executed successfully".
Fix:To separate the two actions of setting config spec and updating the view, we have exposed "-nupdate" flag from "setcs" implementation. With this when running 'cleartool setcs -nupdate' with config spec, it always returns errorlevel as 0. This operation will not invoke updating the view, So it will not return any error. |
PI70628 | Problem: While describing a hyperlink in ClearCase with "-fmt" flag no output is displayed as the events were already scrubbed.
Fix: Added a new warning to notify the user that the hyperlink events were scrubbed. |
PI90398 | Problem:Typing CTRL-C in the terminal does not terminate the process or close the GUI window, when using tools such as xcleardiff and xclearcase, after starting an IBM Rational ClearCase GUI from the command prompt.
Fix: Users are now able to terminate, and properly send the process to background, for the GUI windows, after starting an IBM Rational ClearCase GUI from the command prompt. |

APAR | Description |
CS0003102 | Problem: ClearCase Clearmake does not adjust the build concurrency, and it is causing an excessive number of abes and not making appropriate use of abes.
Fix: Clearmake has been changed to limit the number of abe processes to be equal to the -J value or the number of build server hosts, which ever is smaller. Previously, clearmake would start abe processes based on the number of build server hosts, regardless off the -J value, and when a build override situation is encountered, not all of the existing abes were terminated, leaving more abe processes around consuming file descriptors. This change introduces better abe management and limits the number of abes. |
CS0003966 | Problem: When a CCASE_BLD_HOSTS override changes from one set of hosts to another, the "require" host table is removed, and only "IDLE" abes are terminated. This means that abe's starting jobs, abes actively building, and (possibly) ones in "available" state, are NOT shut down abes accumulate over time.
Fix: Clearmake has been changed to limit the number of abe processes to be equal to the -J value or the number of build server hosts, which ever is smaller. Previously, clearmake would start abe processes based on the number of build server hosts, regardless off the -J value, and when a build override situation is encountered, not all of the existing abes were terminated, leaving more abe processes around consuming file descriptors. This change introduces better abe management and limits the number of abes. |
CS0069277 | Problem: The ClearCase MVFS disable flag (in the "atria_start" script) was not functional.
Fix:Redefinition of the MVFS flag was resetting the setting and thereby not functional. This APAR fixes that issue and now the flag is functional. |
PH02243 | Problem: The ClearCase MVFS disable flag (in the "atria_start" script) was not functional.
Fix: Technote http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27023148 was updated. |
PH05925 | Problem: ClearCase change management integrations (CMI) could fail on Windows when connecting to a change management server with an SSL certificate that expires in year 2038 or later
Fix: ClearCase CMI has been corrected to handle SSL certificates expiring in year 2038 or later. |
PH10188 | Problem: Send and receive buffer size when entered in KB/MB was not read correctly and creating problem while launching the Multistite applet.
Fix: Tokenizing the receive & send buffer values solved the problem.. |
PH14795 | Problem: After creating a ClearCase snapshot view on Linux using a registered view storage location with a Windows based view server host the view owner is unable to remove the view.
Fix: The rmview function has been fixed. |
PH16660 | Problem: Using ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer to show CMI activities may result in NullPointerExceptions in RTC Integrated environment.
Fix: We did a rollback on FILTERING feature which was the root cause for this NULL POINTER EXCEPTION. |
PH17193 | Problem: ClearCase mainframe TSO client operations may fail with "No such file or directory".
Fix: The ClearCase mainframe TSO client was modified to use correct syntax. |
PH17266 | Problem: When creating a new stream and adding non-modifiable components using ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, the original baseline(s) seem to get lost.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now correctly manages baselines and components. |
PH17597 | Problem: Executing the ClearCase clearprojtool binary creates a duplicate key "Atria " in registry.
Fix:ClearCase clearprojtool registry use / management was corrected. |
PH17973 | Problem: ClearCase mainframe TSO client operations may fail with "No such file or directory".
Fix:The ClearCase mainframe TSO client was modified to use correct syntax. |
PH18122 | Problem: ClearCase MVFS was not correctly forwarding lock key information to the underlying file system, resulting in a lock conflict when writing to the INI file.
Fix: The lock key is now forwarded to the underlying file system and the write completes successfully. |
PH18585 | Problem: ClearCase squidtool ShowActivityProperties throws a double-free error on Linux.
Fix: Memory / string management was corrected. |
PH18960 | Problem: A Segmentation fault may occur when running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 machine.
Fix: Running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view no longer seg faults. |
PH19721 | Problem: When adding large numbers of files to source control via ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, some files "disappear" from the expected directories after the operation completes.
Fix: ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer now correctly adds large numbers of files to source control |
PH20085 | Problem: When files are added/removed to a web view using the command line or a GUI other than ClearTeam Explorer, the changes may not be reflected in ClearTeam Explorer, particularly if there are any "unusual" issues with the web view (like a checked-out-but-removed file).
Fix: Client-side code which reads a web view directory, now ignores not-found errors for local copies of files that are known to the server and continues reading. This resolves the problem. |
PH20800 | Problem: When using ClearCase to build software using Visual Studio 2017 or newer on Microsoft Windows, the build audit may be incorrect. This would cause some build target's configuration records to be incomplete, and also could cause build targets to fail to rebuild even though another component on which the target depends has changed.
Fix:Audit pointer management was corrected. |
PH21656 | Problem: When upgrading the version of ClearCase on a Windows system, a reboot is required to complete the upgrade installation. After that reboot, the system may crash shortly after restarting. It may enter a loop of crashing and restarting, in which case it must be booted in safe mode to allow manual manipulation of files in order to work around the problem.
Fix: The crash is caused by incomplete cleanup of a previous version which is being replaced during the upgrade. |
PH21997 | Problem: Right clicking on an excluded file in a ClearCase / VS 2017 project throws *8* unhandled exception.
Fix: While debugging we found that we are passing NULL value while accessing the list without checking the NULL. We just check the NULL condition and it works fine. |
PH22017 | Problem: After installing ClearCase 9.0.2 on Windows 10 or newer, the installation will succeed, but after reboot MVFS filesystem will not be started. This message is observed in the system event log: The IBM Rational ClearCase Multi-Version FS for NT10.0 x86_64 service failed to start due to the following error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
Fix: This was a product packaging error and the MVFS driver in 9.0.2.1 is correctly signed. |
PI38327 | Problem: The ClearCase command "cleartool getlog -around", may miss the first event (if you compare it to a different cleatool getlog command output).
Fix: Internal file pointer / record management was corrected. |
PI42664 | Problem: ClearCase clearexport_ccase commands may crash when the length of an attribute name+value exceeds an internal buffer size of 4096.
Fix: During cvt_data file generation, when attribute name and value is copied to buffer having size 4096, checked if total number of characters exceeds 4096. If so, a warning is generated and attribute value is truncated so that it fits into the buffer and would not result in buffer overflow/crash. |
PI49720 | Problem: Customer may experience a crash when building using code composer IDE.
Fix: ClearCase was changed to avoid -host, -gpath and -hpath to be used on a non-NAS environment. This fix is available in ClearCase versions 8.0.1.16, 9.0.0.06, 9.0.1.02 and beyond. |
PI73696 | Problem: The ClearCase "cleartool rmtag" command may fail on a network mapped drive due to insufficient return code validation.
Fix: Return code are now validated correctly and "cleartool rmtag" command executes successfully on network |

Fix: The CCRC WAN server preserve/restore code was changed to use the Windows robocopy command, which correct |
PI90393 | Problem: A problem associating a ClearQuest record to a ClearCase UCM activity gives an incorrect error message in a Japanese language environment.
Fix: The error message has been corrected. |
PI95706 | Problem: ClearCase Build Concepts document incorrectly states that clearaudit should work in a snapshot view.
Fix: The help topic corrected. |
PI98203 | Problem: When a file was being moving to "lost+found" directory, file was getting renamed and new filename was exceeding the filename length limit supported by OS.
Fix: Before moving a file to "lost+found" directory, check if the new filename will exceed max supported filename length limit. If so, then truncate the filename before renaming the file. |
PM96191 | Problem: Operation Not permitted" error on Windows XP/2003 when starting a view stored on Netap 8.2 cDOT.

APAR | Description |
defect C151797 | When running ClearCase clearmake in a parallel, or distributed, mode, may 'hang' if there is an issue with starting up an abe process. If an abe has been started, and clearmake has assigned a target to that abe, and then the abe fails to start up in time, or there is a communication problem between clearmake and the abe, clearmake will try and assign the target to a different abe, and clearmake may hang if there are any problems trying to re-assign that target to a different abe. |
defect C266062 | Poor signal handling can result in a race condition when forking new processes, causes thread deadlock and ClearCase albd hang. |
defect C303560 | ClearCase "cleartool getcache -view -cview" may show negative values. |
APAR PH36404 | On a ClearCase Multisite recursive import failure, the condition check before deleting a packet was missing to check if there is any target VOB available or not. It was only checking the variable which updates when -invob is provided. Hence, import process assumed there were no target VOB available and packet was deleted. |
APAR PH38407 | The ClearCase startup script may fail to create /var/lock/subsys. |
APAR PH42350 | When creating a new view using the ClearCase front desk, the "Edit view configuration" window appears and then "disappears." |
APAR PH44265 | An attempt to update ClearCase and ClearQuest to 9.0.1.13 when installed on the same system gets an error in InstallationManager and the update is blocked from proceeding.

APAR PH44742 | The ClearCase checkvob operation may incorrectly report elements as being locked. |
APAR PH45599 | The ClearCase MVFS was missing a specific scenario when locking a cache structure. Certain structure member was changing during its manipulation during the cache usage, causing the crash. |
APAR PH46426 | In a IBM Rational ClearCase integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 environment, when the "ClearCase Base" toolbar is enabled (view->Toolbars->ClearCase Base) in a webview, setting the focus on the solution panel will result in not being able to Minimize the Visual Studio window. Attempts to minimize the window results in it maximizing again automatically. WORKAROUND: Set the focus to another panel, then minimize or disable the "ClearCase Base" toolbar |

Fix: This problem is fixed in ClearCase 9.0.1.12, 9.0.2.4, and 9.1.0.1. |
PH34453 | Problem: ClearCase Search was disabled for dynamic views and (if enabled) was resulting '0 matches', even if matching resources were available.
Fix: ClearCase Search is now enabled for dynamic views and resulting correct match, displaying all the matching resources in 'ClearCase Search'. |
PH35828 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase / Cadence Virtuoso integration allows a user to perform SCM operations in both the "Library Manager" and in the editor itself. If a user imports a checkedout cell view into the library manager to checkin a schematic that is currently being edited, changes in the schematic editor can be lost.
Fix: Added a logic for handling the unmanaged lock files. |
PH37165 | Problem: In the ClearCase Cadence Integration: If a cell view under virtuoso is checked out with "-unreserved" option, the "Show file status"may throw Errors and not show the status of the cell.
Fix: Checked out with "-unreserved" option has been fixed. |
PH37613 | Problem: Running ClearCase with Crowdstrike installed may cause some performance degradation.
Fix: Multi Version File System (MVFS) was modified to handle Crowdstrike demand. |
PI06930 | Problem: When reformatvob or db_dumper is invoked and if the root component of the VOB is not available, CRDE validation fails and triggers db__err_abort_call().
Fix: CRDE now validates the failure and continues with db_dumper or reformatvob execution without fail. |
PI14642 | Problem: Dev stream creation from a baseline errors out which is expected. However, the displayed error message is not much informative.
Fix: Rephrased the error string to cover all 4 rebase rules mentioned in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSH27_9.0.1/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ref.doc/topics/ct_rebase.htm and eliminated the misleading phrase "from the same project". |
PI48845 | Problem: Maximum packet size for a VOB replica packet, in config file, was set to much higher value than which is allowed. Due to which, packet shipping was failing for the larger packets which was adhering the maximum size set in config file.
Fix: Changed the maximum packet size to correct one. |
PI52455 | Problem: Delivering an already delivered baseline should provide a more informative message.
Fix: When the same baseline is delivered again, following warning message is displayed:- cleartool: Warning: No activities to deliver from stream "d1" to target stream "i1". |
PI54489 | Problem: MULTITOOL CHREPLICA ON WINDOWS GUI INCORRECTLY ALLOWS CHANGING THE PRESERVATION MODE FOR A REMOTE VOB REPLICA TO PRESERVING.
Fix: Preservation mode of replica can be change to preserve only if none of the replica from vob-family has preservation mode. |
PI60118 | Problem: Rebasing an integration stream to a baseline in the same project fails without providing proper error message.
Fix: Handling the present use case to display error message why rebase is not possible. "Can't rebase to baseline \"%s\"\nof component \"%s\". You can only rebase an integration stream to\nbaselines from other integration streams, or to import or initial baselines.\n". |
PI64433 | Problem: Recommended and/or member of composite baseline can be removed by executing "cleartool rmbl" if the baseline is from private VOB only but public VOB baselines removal is not allowed.
Fix: Now both public & private VOB baselines can't be removed, by default and retained consistency. Also introduced a new CLI flag "public", which prevents public VOB removal - same as present behavior. |
PI89155 | Problem: The ClearCase UCM deliver dialog cannot be completed after skipping a merge conflict.
Fix: On Restart user will get the dialog to resolve the "merge conflict" not error dialog. |

APAR | Description |
CS0085663 | Problem: Sporadic kernel crash when closing files under certain conditions.
Fix: MVFS was modified to validate some kernel structures when a file is closing. |
CS0100993 | Problem: When running a build using clearmake, a segment fault may occur if clearmake encounters an extremely large macro expansion.
Fix: Clearmake has been updated to address large macro expansions. |
CS0111980 | Problem: Clearcase does not make it clear which VOB the below error message refers to. db.m:146 DB__WRONG_SERVER "Process not running on registry specified hostname (%s)\n". Also prints redundant error messages in db_server log.
Fix: To be more specific, vob path name is added in the error message and also added check against vob path name to avoid redundant error messages for each db_server instance. |
CS0139156 | Problem: Excessive output in lad_log with "Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed:"
Fix: Now for an invalid user the error message is printed only one time in the lad_server log. |
PH09114 | Problem: When iterating through label (or branch) types in a Perl script, CAL crashes before returning the list of metadata types to the script.
Fix:CAL label & branch processing no longer results in a stack overflow. |
PH14405 | Problem: lad_server.exe(152696): Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed: NT after enabling the async license daemon Reported above error when user sid type is one of the group accounts. Also lad_server log can be overly verbose and grows dangerously quickly with this error.
Fix: Group accounts no longer cause the lad_server to fail. |
PH20838 | Problem: While creating a view with NFS mount point - specifically with extended host path name, host path name was not captured correctly. Hence, the view creation used to fail with incomplete host path name.
Fix: Updated the parsing logic function to populate the host path name completely with which now the view creation succeeds. |
PH23654 | Problem: File was not getting merged from one branch to other as changing config spec was unloading the element. During merge search, merge happens only for loaded elements.
Fix: During Merge Search, refresh loads the element before initiating merge. So, after merge file and contents would be merged to destination branch |
PH24275 | Problem: Hovering over version in GUI vtree browser with multi-line command or other large amount of metadata causes tooltip to flicker.
Fix: In current fix we restrict the number of lines user can see on tool-tip. If number of lines crossed the defined one we are showing message with truncated text "...please use element properties to view full text", so that user can know that tool tip doesn't contain full text and he can see the full comment from properties. |
PH24953 | Problem: Cleartool commands prompting for comments will not respond to ctrl-c, sigpipes, etc., until after comment is completely supplied.
Fix: During Cleartool signal handling was corrected. |
PH26821 | Problem: When using the legacy Clearcase gui to run a describe on a ClearCase element on Solaris 11.x the window is not brought up and the command fails silently.
Fix: The script used to implement the legacy Clearcase gui describe command was fixed. |
PH27637 | Problem: Infocenter page on MVFS settings for samba significantly out of date.
Fix: The "Configuring Rational ClearCase to support Samba" topic has been updated in the help that installs with ClearCase 9.1 and in IBM Knowledge Center for ClearCase 9.1. |
PH27795 | Problem: Using ClearCase clearmake and printing "time spent building with abes: ..." caused clearmake to crash and the build to abort.
Fix: Memory is now freed after printing. |
PH27887 | Problem: In ClearCase 8.0.x version, when a user tries to check in or cancel checkout for views already open though editor, a warning dialog message were displayed saying “The file is currently open for edit…”. But, in ClearCase 9.0.x, this features were not available.
Fix: These features are now available in ClearCase 9.0.x version. |
PH28419 | Problem: MVFS wasn't handling the correct error code when trying to read information from registry and the data was bigger than expected, leading MVFS to fail its load process.
Fix: The MVFS is now able to manage itself to deal with bigger data. |
PH29893 | Problem:"Show File Status.." dialog crashes if there is a hidden folder.
Fix: The dialog no longer crashes. |
PH30138 | Problem: The path to squidtool was not properly quoted.
Fix: The squidtool application now spawns without issue. |
PH30160 | Problem: Visual Studio integration checks out source file parent directory during "remove from project, but not the disk".
Fix: Removing file element will not create new version for directory. |
PH30403 | Problem: During Manual Merge on parent directory, sub-directories were also getting merged due to issues in implemented refresh functionality.
Fix: Refresh functionality after manual merge operation has been fixed. |
PI08032 | Problem: Vob container's location dbid status was handled properly when a 'checkvob -fix' is done to fix a deleted container status. Due to which error occurred during database dumping process of 'reformatvob'.
Fix: Updated the container's status handling logic with which now 'reformatvob' is dumping and loading database successfully. |
PI41286 | Problem: During findmerge, file elements are checked repeatedly in directory passes as well, considering it as a directory, because initially all VOB elements are marked as "not a file". Hence, an error message is printed repeatedly due to the repetitive attempt of searching the file.
Fix: Marked the file element at the initial stage with which now file elements are checked only once in file pass. |
PI65098 | Problem: Copy and Paste of the share project in CTE renaming the project/file/folder gets NEP .
Fix: Code changes to handle the Null pointer exception during rename on the Copy-Pasted project are taken care of. |
PI77043 | Problem: The ClearCase clearprompt utility fails when the number of characters of a string is greater than 2069 characters.
Fix: Allocation of clearprompt's internal buffer was corrected. |
PI97705 | Problem: Cleartool rmver command execution validates for interested version before deleting the selected version. However, similar validation was missing while executing rmbranch command.
Fix: Cleartool rmbranch command execution now validates for any existing baseline in the branch and the command execution does not proceed if any baseline version is found on the branch. |

CS | Problem: MULTITOOL SYNCREPLICA -IMPORT" DELETES SOME PACKETS WHERE IT SHOULD REPORT "... NOT APPLICABLE TO ANY LOCAL VOB REPLICAS"
Fix: Corrected logic for syncreplica import. |
Problem: During a deliver to any stream where there is a preop trigger that looks for environment variable "CLEARCASE_POP_KIND" in an integration stream.Since CTE/CCBE were not setting this EV value hence triggers were failing.Same issue was found for Rebase operation.
Fix: Now CTE and CCBE are setting EV "CLEARCASE_POP_KIND" value and same we are able to see in trigger script during Deliver and Rebase (CHECKOUT and CHECKIN) Operations.And also it makes sure that Checkout and Checkin happen only during Deliver/Rebase. |

PH11076 | |
PH21362 | Problem: When one or more VOB elements are ACL protected cleartool diff doesn't report any differences.
Fix: During cleartool diff command execution, ACL protected objects cannot be accessed and due to this failure command execution exits silently. Hence user was not notified about failure reason. Now error string - with problematic object name, will be displayed informing user about the inaccessibility. |
PH22918 | Problem: Label function fails for some libraries.
Fix: The label function was repaired. |
PH23440 | Problem:Sometimes cleartool getcache -mvfs command output may not be coherent with scaling values shown in Clearcase Control Panel.
Fix: Clearcase Control Panel was modified to fix that behavior. |
PH24775 | Problem: Using clearmake in a distributed environment with ClearCase 9.0.1.09, there might be a very specific scenario where the makefile includes some targets that cannot be build in parallel that are identified using the .NOTPARALLEL directive, and the not parallel targets are also to be directed to a list of specific build servers (e.g. using the CCASE_BLD_HOSTS environment variable). With this scenario, it is possible the resulting build may become stuck and hang and not make any progress if one of the specific build servers has an error starting an abe, or if the abe is very slow in responding.
Fix:If the situation occurs, where a target is specified as not being able to be built in parallel (.NOTPARALLEL directive used) and the target is directed to a specific build server as identified in the makefile using the CCASE_BLD_HOSTS environment variable, and the resulting build server has an issue starting an abe, or the abe is slow to respond, clearmake will now re-schedule that target to be built on a different build server and the build will continue. |
PH24887 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer change_sets not visible in CTE CQ interface.
Fix: While creating the 'ClearQuest Details' view we have made those tools to get listed in toolbar with proper actions |
PH25670 | Problem: If an application running on Microsoft Windows tries to read a file in a ClearCase dynamic view using non-cached I/O, after it has already been in use for cached I/O, a deadlock may occur while flushing the cache, and that process and any other processes trying to access that file will hang.
Fix: MVFS handling of the FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING option during file open was modified to eliminate a possible deadlock. |
PH25682 | Problem: A segmentation fault may occur when running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.8 system.
Fix: Running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view no longer seg faults. |
PI42014 | Problem: When one or more VOB elements are ACL protected cleartool findmerge doesn't report any differences.
Fix:During cleartool findmerge command execution, ACL protected objects cannot be accessed and due to this failure command execution exits silently. Hence user was not notified about failure reason. Now error string - with problematic object name, will be displayed informing user about the inaccessibility |
PI65406 | Problem: When running 'cleartool setcs' in a batch file with loading nonexisting vob in config spec, the 'update' of the view (implicitly started by the 'setcs') results in errors but the 'errorlevel' always returns 0 - executed successfully".
Fix:To separate the two actions of setting config spec and updating the view, we have exposed "-nupdate" flag from "setcs" implementation. With this when running 'cleartool setcs -nupdate' with config spec, it always returns errorlevel as 0. This operation will not invoke updating the view, So it will not return any error. |
PI70628 | Problem: While describing a hyperlink in ClearCase with "-fmt" flag no output is displayed as the events were already scrubbed.
Fix: Added a new warning to notify the user that the hyperlink events were scrubbed. |
PI90398 | Problem:Typing CTRL-C in the terminal does not terminate the process or close the GUI window, when using tools such as xcleardiff and xclearcase, after starting an IBM Rational ClearCase GUI from the command prompt.
Fix: Users are now able to terminate, and properly send the process to background, for the GUI windows, after starting an IBM Rational ClearCase GUI from the command prompt. |

APAR | Description |
CS0003102 | Problem: ClearCase Clearmake does not adjust the build concurrency, and it is causing an excessive number of abes and not making appropriate use of abes.
Fix: Clearmake has been changed to limit the number of abe processes to be equal to the -J value or the number of build server hosts, which ever is smaller. Previously, clearmake would start abe processes based on the number of build server hosts, regardless off the -J value, and when a build override situation is encountered, not all of the existing abes were terminated, leaving more abe processes around consuming file descriptors. This change introduces better abe management and limits the number of abes. |
CS0003966 | Problem: When a CCASE_BLD_HOSTS override changes from one set of hosts to another, the "require" host table is removed, and only "IDLE" abes are terminated. This means that abe's starting jobs, abes actively building, and (possibly) ones in "available" state, are NOT shut down abes accumulate over time.
Fix: Clearmake has been changed to limit the number of abe processes to be equal to the -J value or the number of build server hosts, which ever is smaller. Previously, clearmake would start abe processes based on the number of build server hosts, regardless off the -J value, and when a build override situation is encountered, not all of the existing abes were terminated, leaving more abe processes around consuming file descriptors. This change introduces better abe management and limits the number of abes. |
CS0069277 | Problem: The ClearCase MVFS disable flag (in the "atria_start" script) was not functional.
Fix:Redefinition of the MVFS flag was resetting the setting and thereby not functional. This APAR fixes that issue and now the flag is functional. |
PH02243 | Problem: The ClearCase MVFS disable flag (in the "atria_start" script) was not functional.
Fix: Technote http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27023148 was updated. |
PH05925 | Problem: ClearCase change management integrations (CMI) could fail on Windows when connecting to a change management server with an SSL certificate that expires in year 2038 or later.
Fix: ClearCase CMI has been corrected to handle SSL certificates expiring in year 2038 or later. |
PH10188 | Problem: Send and receive buffer size when entered in KB/MB was not read correctly and creating problem while launching the Multistite applet.
Fix: Tokenizing the receive & send buffer values solved the problem.. |
PH14795 | Problem: After creating a ClearCase snapshot view on Linux using a registered view storage location with a Windows based view server host the view owner is unable to remove the view.
Fix: The rmview function has been fixed. |
PH16660 | Problem:regression Using ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer to show CMI activities may result in NullPointerExceptions in RTC Integrated environment.
Fix: We did a rollback on FILTERING feature which was the root cause for this NULL POINTER EXCEPTION. |
PH17193 | Problem: ClearCase mainframe TSO client operations may fail with "No such file or directory".
Fix: The ClearCase mainframe TSO client was modified to use correct syntax. |
PH17266 | Problem: When creating a new stream and adding non-modifiable components using ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, the original baseline(s) seem to get lost.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now correctly manages baselines and components. |
PH17597 | Problem: Executing the ClearCase clearprojtool binary creates a duplicate key "Atria " in registry.
Fix:ClearCase clearprojtool registry use / management was corrected. |

PH18585 | Problem: ClearCase squidtool ShowActivityProperties throws a double-free error on Linux.
Fix: Memory / string management was corrected. |
PH18960 | Problem: A Segmentation fault may occur when running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 machine.
Fix: Running an executable built within a ClearCase dynamic view no longer seg faults. |
PH19721 | Problem: When adding large numbers of files to source control via ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, some files "disappear" from the expected directories after the operation completes.
Fix: ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer now correctly adds large numbers of files to source control |
PH20085 | Problem: When files are added/removed to a web view using the command line or a GUI other than ClearTeam Explorer, the changes may not be reflected in ClearTeam Explorer, particularly if there are any "unusual" issues with the web view (like a checked-out-but-removed file).
Fix: Client-side code which reads a web view directory, now ignores not-found errors for local copies of files that are known to the server and continues reading. This resolves the problem. |
PH20800 | Problem: When using ClearCase to build software using Visual Studio 2017 or newer on Microsoft Windows, the build audit may be incorrect. This would cause some build target's configuration records to be incomplete, and also could cause build targets to fail to rebuild even though another component on which the target depends has changed.
Fix:Audit pointer management was corrected. |
PH21656 | Problem: When upgrading the version of ClearCase on a Windows system, a reboot is required to complete the upgrade installation. After that reboot, the system may crash shortly after restarting. It may enter a loop of crashing and restarting, in which case it must be booted in safe mode to allow manual manipulation of files in order to work around the problem.
Fix: The crash is caused by incomplete cleanup of a previous version which is being replaced during the upgrade. |
PH21997 | Problem: Right clicking on an excluded file in a ClearCase / VS 2017 project throws *8* unhandled exception.
Fix: While debugging we found that we are passing NULL value while accessing the list without checking the NULL. We just check the NULL condition and it works fine. |
PI38327 | Problem: The ClearCase command "cleartool getlog -around", may miss the first event (if you compare it to a different cleatool getlog command output).
Fix: Internal file pointer / record management was corrected. |
PI42664 | Problem: ClearCase clearexport_ccase commands may crash when the length of an attribute name+value exceeds an internal buffer size of 4096.
Fix: During cvt_data file generation, when attribute name and value is copied to buffer having size 4096, checked if total number of characters exceeds 4096. If so, a warning is generated and attribute value is truncated so that it fits into the buffer and would not result in buffer overflow/crash. |
Problem: Customer may experience a crash when building using code composer IDE.
Fix: ClearCase was changed to avoid -host, -gpath and -hpath to be used on a non-NAS environment. This fix is available in ClearCase versions 8.0.1.16, 9.0.0.06, 9.0.1.02. |

Fix: The CCRC WAN server preserve/restore code was changed to use the Windows robocopy command, which corrects this issue |
PI90393 | Problem: A problem associating a ClearQuest record to a ClearCase UCM activity gives an incorrect error message in a Japanese language environment.
Fix: The error message has been corrected. |
PI95706 | Problem: ClearCase Build Concepts document incorrectly states that clearaudit should work in a snapshot view.
Fix: The help topic corrected. |
PI98203 | Problem: When a file was being moving to "lost+found" directory, file was getting renamed and new filename was exceeding the filename length limit supported by OS.
Fix: Before moving a file to "lost+found" directory, check if the new filename will exceed max supported filename length limit. If so, then truncate the filename before renaming the file. |

Fix: ClearTeam Explorer property fetching has been fixed. |
PH14884 | Problem: The base CC/CQ integration (v2Perl) hangs, after updating to CC 9.0.1.6, due to missing expected environment variables in trigger environment.
Fix: As a solution, we have added both CCASE and ATRIA prefix for env variables for clearcase. |
PH15339 | Problem: After upgrading to ClearCase 9.0.1.7, the ClearCase explorer no longer displays the entire context menu in the view root of a dynamic view.
Fix: The context menu for the root of dynamic views in the ClearCase explorer has been corrected to show all expected options. |
PH15551 | Problem: The ClearCase Cadence Integration may fail on checkin of a category in ClearCase 9.0.1.6 integrated with Cadence 6.1.7

PI97362 | Problem: ClearCase and ClearQuest installs the Microsoft VC++ 2008 run-time to support the IBM GSKit library. The Microsoft VC++ 2008 run-time has gone out of support and needs to be updated.
Fix:The GSKit has been updated to version 8.0.55.9 which depends on the Microsoft VC++ 2013 run-time instead of the Microsoft VC++ 2008 run-time. With this update ClearCase and ClearQuest will no longer install the Microsoft VC++ 2008 run-time. |
PM97377 | Problem: A ClearCase UCM environment variable, called CCASE_DISABLE_FDN_REUSE, was added in ClearCase V8.0. When set to TRUE, this environment variable prevents the creation of duplicate baselines when a foundation baseline has already been reused in a previous "make baseline" operation and when the baseline that has been reused resides in a PVOB which is not under the same AdminVOB hierarchy as the PVOB where the new baseline is being created. Use of the variable requires setting the environment variable on all clients.
Fix: Added a UCM policy to allow for setting the behavior once, on the server; all clients with this patch will use the UCM policy setting. |

APAR | Description |
PH03537 | Under high transaction loads, Windows ClearCase servers are disproportionately impacted by file lock contention on vista.* files. The underlying cause is that the OS file lock API used by the database core has a fixed one-second retry interval. As such, any contended locks will introduce an immediate one-second delay in the operations in question.
Fix:ClearCase Windows and Unix now use NON-blocking lock calls |
PH04203 | Problem: When you are working in ClearTeam Explorer on a Portuguese Microsoft Windows Operating System, you may encounter an error after clicking "Compare with predecessor" version.
Fix: Fix the the broken Portuguese translation for Compare/Merge preference. |
PH05884 | Problem: In the RTC client where the ClearCase CTE plugin is installed, the user encounters an internal error occurred during: "Getting toolbar activities" when click a UCM view from ClearTeam Navigator.
Fix: Fix the code where the unnecessary exception was thrown. |
PH05893 | Problem: ClearCase displays 8.x help on windows.
Fix: ClearCase now displays 9.x help on windows. |
PH06198 | Problem: The ClearCase CCRC update site located by http://CCRCWANServerIPAddress/ccrc/update contained out-of-date information, including hyperlinks to the ClearCase 8.0 Information Center, instructions for installing the CTE Eclipse plug-in into versions of Eclipse that are no longer supported.
Fix: Revise the site page with up-to-date information. |
PH06459 | Problem:A new ClearCase UCM activity is not selected when created during checkout/add to source control in ctexplorer
Fix: Previously checkout/add to source control dialogs drop down was not registered for refresh when an activity gets created. Now it is fixed. |
PH06465 | Problem: Sending Multisite packets from fully-64-bit 9.0.1.5 hosts fails with "no more memory available" errors.
Fix: This problem was caused by using an unititialized u_long in the call getsockopt() rather than an int. getsockopt() returns 4 bytes but the top 4 bytes contain uninitialized junk. |
PH06768 | Problem: The ClearCase rccbuild application correctly blocks on a version mismatch between a ClearCase build client and the Mainframe Connectors. The version string were being incorrectly maintained.
Fix: The ClearCase Mainframe Connector version string was corrected. |
PI33365 | Problem: A ClearCase rebase -preview can fail to take overrides into account, rendering it unable to return a list of potentially included activities, even though the actual rebase succeeds.
Fix: A ClearCase rebase -preview will properly assess overrides, allowing it to return a list of potentially included activities. |
PI57022 | Problem: During a ClearCase rebase a foundation hyperlink may be removed, but if the rebase operation fails for some reason a subsequent rebase then tries to remove the same foundation hyperlink again, but that will fail with a missing hyperlink error.
Fix:Please contact HCL ClearCase support for instructions to enable information collection |
PI58773 | Problem:You may find that the steps after IKJEFT01, IKJEFT1A and IKJEFT1Bb don't work in JCL scripts. The build may fail with "the system or user abend S047 R=NULL was issued."
Fix: ClearCase Mainframe Connector APF mode was corrected. |
PI89037 | Problem: ClearCase trigger context isn't always clear. The mkelem command from the integration has no parent-op for check-in that happens during that.
Fix: Checkin and check-out happening during mkelem command will have "mkelem" as parent operation |
PI89145 | Problem: When working in an Rational ClearCase integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, you may find an unexpected mkbranch operation occurs if your config spec contains an automatic mkbranch rule and you open files that are not in your project.
Fix: CAL was fixed to properly report "owner" and "group" values without corrupting memory. |
PI98781 | Problem: rcleartool lsproject was requiring a "project:" selector prefix when it should not have been needed.
Fix: Root cause was due to a new undocumented feature (IntelliSense support) added by Microsoft in VS. Now it is handled properly. |
PI94091 | Problem: DOCUMENTATION SHOULD INCLUDE THAT A DATABASE SCHEMA 12 CC VIEW CANNOT BE USED ON 8.0.1.X
Fix: Added "New view database schema" section to the "what's new" document for ClearCase 9.0. https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21972269 |
PI98563 | Problem: "RCLEARTOOL -VER" DOESN'T GIVE CORRECT VERSION

PH00330 | Problem: On Windows Server 2008R2 the installer was incorrectly warning the user that the operating system was not supported. Support for Windows Server 2008R2 was removed in version 9.0.1 but reinstated in 9.0.1.3.
Fix: Since Windows Server 2008R2 is again a supported operating systems the warning has been removed from the installer. |
PH01969 | Problem: The ClearCase context menu in Windows Explorer is missing after an upgrade to version 9.0.1.4.
Fix: The ClearCase context menu in Windows Explorer has been restored. |
PH02405 | Problem: Using the UCM/CQ integration Find activities operation unusable on ClearTeam Explorer CCCQ UCM with local views.
Fix: The fix involved adding handling of the login to distinguish properly between the ClearCase and ClearQuest providers at login time. |
PH02991 | Problem:The ClearCase "cleartool catcs" command, piped to another process (ex: cleartool catcs | head ) may fail.
Fix: The "cleartool catcs" signal handler was repaired. |
PI28673 | Problem: cleartool mkbl -ddepends can generate a misleading error message if a component being dropped is not in the configuration for the specified stream.
Fix: An additional warning will be printed informing the user that a component can not be found in a baseline. |
PI71536 | Problem: CAL applications may crash (after ClearCase 9.0) due to memory corruption.
Fix: CAL was fixed to properly report "owner" and "group" values without corrupting memory. |

Problem: When you are installing the 9.0.1.1 Eclipse plug-in for Rational ClearTeam Explorer, you may find that the version string displays 9.0.0.xxx instead of 9.0.1.xxxx.
Fix: The version string was fixed. |
|
PI92691 | Problem: ClearCase creates R: drive as a network drive, but the network provider did not recognize it as a network resource it manages. Windows Explorer used to receive errors when trying to get the universal name of such a drive and failed to search files on it.
Fix: The network provider was changed to recognize automatic views as a network resource it manages. |
PI94816 | Problem: Documentation missing on maximum MVFS scaling factor on Windows.
Fix: The online help has been updated to include the maximum value MVFS scaling factor on Windows |
PI95497 | Problem: The "Make Baseline" dialog in ClearTeam Explorer has a "Scope" tab. This allows the baseline creation to be restricted to "Selected Components". Selecting only a component where no actual changes have been made causes a baseline to be created in a component that has had changes made, but was not selected.
Fix: The fix corrects the method to retrieved selected components in the component list. |
PI95977 | Problem: If VOB or Component is added outside of CTE then CTE load rules doesn't show newly added VOB or Component unless and until CTE is restarted.
Fix: A "refresh button" has been added in CTE load rules dialog. |
PI97865 | Problem: CAL applications may crash (after ClearCase 9.0) due to memory corruption.
Fix: CAL was fixed to properly report "owner" and "group" values without corrupting memory. |
PI98781 | Problem: rcleartool lsproject was requiring a "project:" selector prefix when it should not have been needed.
Fix: The rcleartool lsproject command now works correctly without a "project:" prefix. |
PI98888 | Problem: cleartool or other client programs using integrations such as Cadence Design Framework or CtCmd perl package could get errors communicating with a VOB database server if the network connection closes unexpectedly or the db_server exits prematurely. Those errors could persist and repeat multiple times.
Fix: ClearCase has been fixed to detect the network errors and, when possible to do safely, restart transactions with the VOB database |
PI99148 | Problem: Not able to add load rules having spaces in snapshot and web views.
Fix: Load rule having spaces will be added automatically in double quotes. |

APAR | Description |
PM78187 | Problem: When an IBM Rational ClearCase Unified Change Management (UCM) deliver is in progress and that view is inaccessible, starting a second deliver from a different view on the same streams will allow you to reset the original deliver but will not give any information about the view that started the original deliver.
Fix: ClearCase UCM deliver will now give information about the view that started the original delivery. |
PI05393 | Problem: ClearCase triggers firing on deliver_cancel and rebase_cancel are not working as designed in CCRC.
Fix: ClearCase triggers will now work on deliver_cancel and rebase_cancel. |
PI99133 | Problem: The ClearQuest API GetEnabledEntityDefs can return a null value if there are no entity defs selected by the call. It should return an empty set of entitydefs instead. This can cause performance and other problems for consumers of the API such as CQ Web, especially if the ClearQuest database table ownership was not configured correctly.
Fix: The ClearQuest API GetEnabledEntityDefs now returns an empty set of entitydefs in all cases when there are no entitydefs returned by the call. |
PI95367 | Problem: On a Solaris 11 system, the ClearCase VOB mount limit was being incorrectly calculated, and so if a very large number of VOBs is concurrently mounted, one of two different symptoms may occur. A cleartool mount command may fail, with the message "mount: file table overflow", or, a system crash may occur, with the error "device number too big for fsid!" in the system messages log.
Fix: The VOB mount limit for Solaris 11 is being correctly calculated. |
PI95266 | Problem: ClearCase MVFS used the same locking resource to protect the file disposition flag and the cache state. When a process tried to delete a file with its cache enabled, it acquires a lock to set the file disposition and send a call to the view server. The view server will open the cleartext file and cause the cache to become invalid, this would cause the lock to be acquired again to update the cache state, but the lock is never acquired.
Fix: Because file disposition does not deal with the actual file content, an exclusive locking resource has been created to protect the cache state, so that the file disposition can be changed regardless of the cache state. |
PI93610 | Problem: Corrupted ClearCase view databases could be treated as valid.
Fix: Fixes issues where corrupt view databases could be treated as valid. |
PI93110 | Problem: When you are working in the Rational ClearCase/Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Integration, you may find that the solution files are not handled correctly.
Fix: The integration was fixed to properly handle solution files. |
PI92686 | Problem: A ClearCase database incompatibility was introduced for UCM PVOBs on Windows between versions 9.0.1.0 and 9.0.1.1.
Fix: This fixes a database compatibility issue introduced on Windows PVOBs between version 9.0.1.0 and 9.0.1.1. With this fix, databases created on version 9.0.1.0 are now compatible. |
PI88267 | Problem: In ClearCase ClearTeamExplorer (CTE) the paths shown in the pending changes view may sometimes be incorrect specially when there are major similarities between directory names in the VOB root directory. For example "/vob/a" and "/vob/ab".
Fix: The fix addresses the path display issue in ClearTeam Explorer's Pending Changes view. |
PI87042 | Problem: Certain sequences of ClearCase UCM baseline operations could cause a segmentation violation.
Fix: This fixes a possible segmentation violation during ClearCase UCM baseline operations. |
PI74040 | Problem: Under certain circumstances, ClearCase omake does not properly handle memory allocation errors and was not freeing up no longer used memory.
Fix: ClearCase omake was modified to correct one scenario to now exit in the event of a memory allocation error, and was also modified to free up memory for one scenario when the memory is no longer needed. |
PI70376 | Problem:ClearCase clearmake, in an automatic view, incorrectly attempts to contact a VOB looking for derived objects to re-use.
Fix: ClearCase clearmake was modified to skip checking for derived objects when an automatic view is used. |
PI68209 | Problem:ClearCase clearmake may run out of memory when a make file contains a large number of macros.
Fix: Changes were made to do a better job of freeing up memory when the memory was no longer required and this will allow clearmake to better handle makefiles with a large number of macros. |
PI65279 | Problem: MultiSite syncreplica import will occasionally fail with "Segmentation Fault" for a mkbaseline oplog having a nonzero value for the num_reorder_ents field.
Fix: MultiSite syncreplica import will no longer fail with "Segmentation Fault" for such an oplog. |
PI44560 | Problem: A MultiSite syncreplica -import may fail on an rmver oplog with the error "string buffer too small."
Fix: Importing an rmver oplog should no longer hit this error. |
PI23043 | Problem: The Rational Software Architect ClearCase Remote Client extension integration allows model files to be removed using the "Delete" key from the RSA workspace. This should not be allowed in this perspective and is blocked in the GUI context menu.
Fix: With this change when Delete key is pressed with multiple selections, the Delete Action will be triggered only for non-model files. On the GUI context menu, the current functionality is retained. On the context menu of multiple selection, if the selection contains at least one model file, then Remove option is disabled. |

Fix: CM Server will now correctly return a "not found" status when the error situation is encountered. |
PI93635 | Problem: System may panic when accessing view-extended pathnames.
Fix: ClearCase's MVFS filesystem was update to handle non-vob view extended pathname. |
PI93541 | Problem: Automatic views on Windows could be corrupted if they were active at the time of a user logoff or system shutdown.
Fix: Automatic views now cleanly shut down during a user logoff or system shutdown |
PI92920 | Problem: A bug in the AIX operating system causes call to getgrgid_r() to incorrectly report status when a group doesn't fit in a 64k buffer.
Fix: Status checking was extended to catch the need to extend the buffer used to contain the members of a large group. |
PI91598 | Problem: "Create View" dialogue in CTE can indicate incorrect view types as being available for creation. When client and server are on same machine, selection of UCM Vob Tag, UCM Projects and UCM Project under local and server node are not working correctly. I.e If we select Vob Tag under local and then we select the same under server node, selection is not changing.
Fix: Post fix, it will provide right option in create view dialogue, based on node we selected. If It is local, it will provide option of Dynamic and Snapshot, and If It is server node, will provide option of Web and Automatic view(If support is there) option. |
PI90814 | Problem: ClearCase users running Linux may see EMLINK ("Too many links") errors when trying to access directories.
Fix: The EMLINKS error returned by MVFS was replaced by a preventive code that avoids occurrences of multiple entries. |
PI90422 | Problem: The 32 and 64 bit Linux versions of ClearCase are intended to be binary database compatible. This is an issue where trigger definitions are not binary compatible. See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22004783 for more details.
Fix: This fixes the trigger incompatibility between 32 and 64 bit versions of ClearCase. |

Fix: Failing preop mkbl triggers can now properly block VOB modification. |
PI80058 | Problem: Web view load/update fails with an error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null incase ccrcSupportsParallelLoad is enabled and ccrcMaxRequestsPerSession <= 3.
Fix: When ccrcSupportsParallelLoad is enabled and ccrcMaxRequestsPerSession <= 3, parallel operations will be disabled and below mentioned message will be displayed to customer in a message box : "ccrcMaxRequestsPerSession as defined is too low, therefore parallel operations will be disabled. To enable parallel operations for web views, define ccrcMaxRequestsPerSession with a setting of 4 or higher." |
PI79794 | Problem: Installation of the ClearCase CCRC WAN Server is failing to load into WebSphere on non-English operating systems.
Fix: The installation process was expecting the output of the managesdk command to be in English. This was not the case on a non-English operating system. The installation has been fixed to correctly parse the non-English output. |
PI79466 | Problem: Certain features in the CTE eclipse update site clash with previously installed features in the desktop products such as IDA and RSA. This prevents the capability to install CTE via the update site into these eclipse-based products.
Fix: Changes have been made to the update site feature.xml for the CTE IDE feature that will allow the remainder of CTE to be installed if the required features and plugins that support the CTE IDE have already been installed. |

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

PI76793 | Problem: Intermittently a ClearCase shipping_server may hang after executing a shipping order or during syncreplica -export -fship
Fix: The shipping_server will now complete its actions without hanging. |
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. |
PI76681 | Problem: In a relatively rare configuration of NFS (/net not being used for the automounts, but used for view storage) the ClearCase rmview command will pause for 30 seconds as it waits for all the files in the view_storage to no longer be accessible. Aggressive NFS directory caching by the AIX OS is responsible for this.
Fix: The NFS cached directory contents are explicitly flushed prior to removing view storage, thus avoiding the 30 second pause on rmview. This fix is for AIX only. |

PI88855 | Problem: When using ClearCase clients 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. |
PI57999 | Problem: A ClearCase Windows may crash when accessing dynamic views created with -host, -gpath (also PI66371)
Fix: ClearCase was changed to avoid -host, -gpath and -hpath to be used on a non-NAS environment. |
PI63928 | Problem: When using Visual Studio with projects in an ClearCase automatic view, accessed using a subst'd path in the same way one would with dynamic views, Visual Studio does not recognize the artifacts in the project as being under source control.
Fix: The integration has been enhanced to work with subst'd automatic view roots. The subst must be of the form: X:\ -> R:\view_tag\ |
PI85509 | Problem: When using the ClearTeam Explorer extension with Rational Application developer the 'Last Modified' and 'Created' fields in the details view will not have valid data.

Fix: Check out status is displayed as expected in ClearTeam Details pane, even when the file is accessed from the address bar. |
PI73356 | Problem: ClearCase "chmaster -stream" may not change mastership of timeline objects.
Fix: On schema 80 and feature level 8, "chmaster -stream" will change mastership of timeline objects whether it has timeline folder or not. |
PI73135 | Problem: ClearCase users may see intermittent Access Denied errors when accessing files using non-ClearCase Access if the VOB root directory does not have execute permissions set.
Fix: Capability checks have been added to the MVFS permission checks to resolve this situation. |
PI73132 | Problem: On AIX 7.1, using the open() system call with the O_CLOEXEC flag to open a file/dir in the ClearCase MVFS returns EINVAL.
Fix: On AIX 7.1 (and later) the O_CLOEXEC flag can now be used to open a file/dir in the ClearCase MVFS. |
PI72644 | Problem: In rare situations, ClearCase clearmake could hang when starting a child process to execute a build step.
Fix: ClearCase clearmake has been fixed to continue execution properly when starting child processes. |

PI68851 | Problem: When using the ClearCase Remote Client command line interface -- rcleartool -- attempts to use rcleartool mkattr to create or update a string attribute may fail with 'invalid string "{passed string}"'.
Fix: Non-interactive invocations of rcleartool mkattr for string attributes no longer strips the embedded quotes and should apply the attribute properly. |
PI67531 | Problem: When using the ClearCase Remote Client command line interface -- rcleartool -- attempts to use rcleartool mkattr to create or update a string attribute may fail with 'invalid string "{passed string}"'.
Fix: When automatically re-establishing a login session, a CTE, CMAPI or rcleartool client no longer consumes all the sessions available on a CCRC WAN server. |
PI64788 | Problem: After writing to a file and closing it, if an application sets its attributes, ClearCase MVFS will change the attributes back to the values the file had when it was closed.

PI161697 | Problem: When building in an ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a hang.
Fix: The lock acquisition rule has been fixed to resolve this specific case. |
PI44831 | Problem: When using CtCmd with Rational ClearCase "cleartool describe -fmt" the output is truncated by one byte if the first string is 16384 characters and the second the second string is one byte longer than the first.
Fix: Cleartool describe buffer handling was fixed. |
PI30193 | Problem: When performing audited builds in a ClearCase dynamic view the customer will see an "ACCESS DENIED" error log entry when deleting a derived object, although the delete operation completes successfully.
Fix: When a MVFS file is about to be deleted, MVFS tries to flush any pending change on the cache to its cleartext file, however derived object files are stored on a VOB, which are opened as read-only. Trying to flush files opened as read-only causes the "ACCESS DENIED" error seen on the log. Now MVFS only request a flush on such situation if the cleartext file is stored on a VIEW, and not on a VOB. |

PM98488 | Problem: When running the ClearCase cleartool protectvob command against an ClearCase VOB stored over NFS, you may encounter an error if the hostname of the storage device and the root of the NFS share are greater than 64 characters combined.
Fix: Faulty string manipulation has been corrected. |
PM98062 | Problem: If a stream in a replicated UCM project VOB has "POLICY_CHSTREAM_UNRESTRICTED" enabled, then users at multiple sites are able to upgrade it to incrementally/fully labeled which causes multiple labels to be created/attached and the label status becomes "unavailable"
Fix: Mastership will be checked if POLICY_CHSTREAM_UNRESTRICTED is enabled. |
PI70543 | Problem: When working in the ClearCase integration with Visual Studio 2015, you may find that the application crashes if you try to close a view private file that is either a .c or .h file in Visual Studio.
Fix: Faulty string manipulation has been fixed. |
PI70333 | Problem: When using the Change Management Integration with ClearQuest some CMI provider errors were not appearing in the cmi_log and required tracing to properly debug.

PI70255 | Problem: When using the ClearCase/ClearQuest (CC/CQ) UCM integration through ClearQuest Web, there is a login error when trying to view a change set.
Fix: Change sets can now be viewed in ClearQuest Web using the CC/CQ UCM integration. |
PI70235 | Problem: When working in the Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), you may find that doing a "merge to" in the CTE Version Tree will launch the Diffmerge GUI and will not detect the merge as a "trivial merge".
Fix: A new preference is introduced which will let the user control this behavior. And by default the merges from Version Tree will be done automatically. Preference location: Team->IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer->Integration->Compare/Merge |
PI68935 | Problem: ClearCase checkin failure due to a missing source container reports cleartext path.
Fix: The source container is now correctly included in the error message. |
PI68289 | Problem: When you are working in the ClearCase and Visual Studio 2013 integration, you may find that the ClearCase context menu items are greyed out after performing your first ClearCase operation.
Fix: The CC-VS integration was not installed correctly, that has been fixed. |
PI65782 | Problem: When using ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) and entering a directory for the first time, it can take a very long time to list the content. This is most visible if there is a huge number of files, symlinks or sub-directories.
Fix: There is improved performance especially when browsing parents with large number of symlinks underneath them. |
PI64278 | Problem: When performing a distributed or parallel build using the ClearCase clearmake utility, the build may fail with automated build executor (abe) process errors.
Fix: Code that checks automated build executor (abe) process ids has been fixed. |
PI59089 | Problem: In the ClearCase Knowledge Center, the ClearCase section Administering the CCRC WAN server > Configuring ClearQuest integration with ClearCase UCM topic states that: "A sample ClearQuest database map file that you can use as a template is installed here: clearcase_home/config/ccrc/ClearQuest-db-mapfile.conf.sample."
Fix: The correct statement is: "A sample ClearQuest database map file that you can use as a template is installed here: clearcase_home/config/ccrc/cq-db-mapfile.conf.sample." |
PI58632 | Problem:When opening a Visual Studio (VS) project created without a solution file, the ClearCase (CC) plugin is not available in Visual Studio 2013-2015.
Fix: The CC-VS integration was not installed correctly, that has been fixed. |
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. |
PI18297 | Problem: After raising a VOB family to Feature Level 8, the ClearCase view_server logs show a warning on chmaster/protect events for new UCM types: "Unexpected vob event on vobserver."
Fix: The view_server will no longer log warnings for these events for the new UCM types. |

PI64193 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer as an Eclipse plug-in, running in an Eclipse shell executing on an Oracle Java runtime environment, version 6, CTE fails to connect to the CCRC WAN Server with an error: CRMAP7009: Command "login" failed: Java.lang.Illegal StateException: null"
Fix: ClearCase Explorer running with the Oracle Java Runtime, version 6 now correctly connects to a CCRC WAN Server. |
PI64067 | Problem: If the ClearQuest Web session time-out is set to a higher value than the license time-out, licenses for inactive CQ Web sessions are only released when the CQ session time-out occurs and not after the (earlier) license time-out. This could cause CQ Web users to consume too many licenses during busy times of the day.
Fix: Rational Common Licensing has been fixed so that inactive CQ Web sessions licenses are now released correctly according to the license time-out value as opposed to the higher web session time-out value. |
PI64012 | Problem: The UCM/CQ integration was erroneously preventing deliver and other operations that involve CQ hooks from being performed in a CQ Web environment. An error would appear stating to use the "ClearQuest OSLC REST interface with ClearCase" even when that interface was already in use.
Fix: The UCM/CQ integration now allows deliver and other operations that involve CQ hooks to be performed in a CQ Web environment. |
PI63410 | Problem: When working with the ClearCase Explorer integrated with RDz, the CLEARCASE_COMMENT variable entry is empty when the user adds an element of a logical model to source control.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase Explorer integrated with RDz to ensure that the CLEARCASE_COMMENT variable is properly set when the user adds an element of a logical model to source control. |
PI63100 | Problem: If the ClearCase MVFS logging severity level is increased to "stale" on a Solaris 10 or 11 system running IBM Rational ClearCase, the occurrence of an NFS ESTALE error which triggers a logging event may cause a system panic.
Fix: A logging format error has been corrected, eliminating the chance for a null pointer reference. |
PI62956 | Problem: In rare circumstances, when using an IBM ClearCase VOB with ACLs enabled, a heavily loaded view server process may crash due to invalid references to memory that has been reused.
Fix: view_server has been fixed to use properly allocated ACL data at all times. |
PI62729 | Problem: When you are working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a Microsoft STOP error (blue screen crash).
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused an incorrect data to be accessed. |
PI62701 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase rcleartool was assuming that a JSESSIONID would always be available to save with cached session data.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase rcleartool now checks that JSESSIONID is present before storing the current settings and writes the default value if it is not. |
PI62646 | Problem: The ClearCase V9.0 knowledge center contained information about WebSphere that is applicable to ClearCase V8.0.x
Fix: The information has been updated to apply to ClearCase V9.0 |
PI61718 | Problem: When using the ClearCase Explorer Extension with RDz, you may find that the perference to decorate project names with view tags does not always work.
Fix: When using the ClearCase Explorer Extension with RDz the project names are now always decorated with view tags if the appropriate preference is set. |
PI61619 | Problem: When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a Microsoft STOP error (blue screen crash).
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused incorrect data to be accessed. |
PI61359 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), there is a refreshing error when performing checkout or checkin of a file element if there is another checked out element that has been removed from the web view copyarea path.
Fix: The property that provides this information now skips files that cannot be found |
PI59651 | Problem: Users of ClearCase dynamic views on MicroSoft Windows 10 may experience a Windows STOP error (blue screen), with bugcheck code "MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS"(44)"
Fix: The problem with incorrect IRP completion during I/O operations in ClearCase dynamic views on Microsoft Windows 10 is fixed by a Windows patch which is available in the patch rollup https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3176493 |
PI59178 | Problem: IBM ClearCase cleartool manpages for ACL administration commands (mkrolemap, chrolemap, lsrolemap, rmrolemap, mkpolicy, chpolicy, lspolicy and rmpolicy) are unable.
Fix: The cleartool man command displays manpages for ACL administration commands. |
PI59063 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase automatic views mounted VOB tags (on a per-view basis) were handled in a case sensitive manner on Windows regardless of the setting of the MVFS case insensitive flag.
Fix: The MVFS case insensitive flag is now used when handling mounted VOB tags in automatic views on Windows. |
PI58795 | Problem: In IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeamExplorer (CTE) sub-directories of the VOBs are not shown in the "Apply Label" wizard GUI
Fix: Sub-directories of the VOBs will now be listed in "Apply Label" wizard and available for selection. |
PI51867 | Problem: If an IBM ClearCase "rmstream" operation fails in the process of removing the foundation baselines from the configuration of the stream, then the STREAM record in the VOB is left in a corrupted state.
Fix: After the failure, some internal objects are deleted but the pointers are kept in the stream record. This fix checks internal objects existence before trying to delete it again on the next rmstream command. |
PI47621 | Problem: IBM ClearCase rcleartool error handling failed to increment the argument counter for failed checkins, causing subsequent messages to be off my one.
Fix: Error handling has been corrected so that output element names are now synched with actual behaviour. |
PI45519 | Problem: A locked IBM ClearCase pvob can cause "rebase -comp" to fail.
Fix: A new routine is used to remove broken hyperlinks caused by locked pvob, so "rebase-comp" can continue to create a new hype |
PI12363 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase Cadence Integration, MultiSite SRFM operations do not show enough information for failures arising from checkouts at the remote sibling.
Fix: This fix improves the error message in the case where a checkout at a remote sibling blocks fulfillment of a SRFM operation. |
PI05605 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase Windows dynamic views in case sensitve mode, case preserving mode was not respected. Names were always entered in lower-case.
Fix: On Windows, in case sensitive mode (not the common default which is case insensitive) the case preserving flag is now set correctly so names keep the case they were entered with. |

APAR | Description |
PM79307 | Problem: Performing a checkout using a dynamic view in IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) with a configuration specification (config spec) which selects a version other than LATEST on the branch results in a checkout of LATEST on that branch. Although a setting exists to allow web views to checkout the view selected version (Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout > "Checkout the version that is loaded even if it is not the latest", this setting does not change the behavior of dynamic views.
Fix: When performing a checkout in a dynamic view and the view-selected version is not the latest on the branch, the user is now allowed to choose whether to checkout the view-selected version or the latest version on the branch. A new set of preferences have been added for dynamic views: Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout >"Checkout the view-selected version even if it is not the latest on the branch" and "Checkout the latest version on the branch". |

PI07939 | Problem: UCM MULTISITE: REBASE INFORMATION NOT PROPAGATED TO SIBLING REPLICAS
Fix: New oplog is created to propagate "sideway" rebase operation to sibling replicas. |
PI25198 | Problem: When performing an rcleartool diff vs predecessor, the predecessor version was being fetched without taking the view text mode into consideration. This could cause all lines to show as different due to mis-matched line termination.
Fix: The underlying RPC which supports the fetch of non-loaded versions for rcleartool diff now supports communication of the view being used for the operation so that the server can use the correct text mode for constructing the cleartext. |
PI41354 | Problem: When using the ClearTeam Explorer, the Pending Changes view does not show the changes incoming from a view update
Fix: Fixes a problem in the ClearTeam Explorer where the Pending Changes view does not show the changes incoming from a view update |
PI45746 | Problem: When attempting to repair missing/corrupt source containers in an IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object Base (VOB), the checkvob tool may incorrectly determine the storage format of the potential replacement container when the element type manager is one of the more-recently introduced element types: Rose/xde/Unicode, etc.
Fix: The correct element type is now detected and used. |
PI45760 | Problem: When performing container recovery/repair in an IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object Base (VOB) the checkvob command may fail while processing damaged UTF16 or UTF32 elements.

Fix: The xcleardiff tool has been repaired so that it works correctly on Ubuntu 14.04 |
PI49353 | Problem: If you are working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view on Microsoft Windows, you may experience a hang on operations accessing file objects in a view or VOB.
Fix: There is a scenario in which MVFS was trying to acquire a lock with no need that would lead to a dead lock. The lock acquisition was removed on that specific scenario. |
PI53364 | Problem: On all UNIX platforms, performance of "ls -l" at the VOB mount point is very slow after some period of inactivity. Additionally, the performance of commands that issue a getcwd() library can be slow on some UNIX platforms if the getcwd() obtains metadata for all mounted VOBS at the VOB mount point.
Fix: As a performance optimization, the last vobrpc_server for a VOB will never exit for all UNIX platforms. |
PI54384 | Problem: ClearCase MultiSite documentation does not explain that when the VOB family feature level of a replica is 8, changing a replica from non-preserving to preserving is blocked to prevent inconsistent notions of identities and permissions among members of the VOB family.
Fix: The following topic have been updated to address the omission: the overview of feature levels in MultiSite administration documentation, the reference pages for the multitool chreplica command, and the reference page for the cleartool chflevel command. |

Fix: Automatic views now cleanly shut down during a user logoff or system shutdown |
PI91598 | Problem: "Create View" dialogue in CTE can indicate incorrect view types as being available for creation. When client and server are on same machine, selection of UCM Vob Tag, UCM Projects and UCM Project under local and server node are not working correctly. I.e If we select Vob Tag under local and then we select the same under server node, selection is not changing.
Fix: Post fix, it will provide right option in create view dialogue, based on node we selected. If It is local, it will provide option of Dynamic and Snapshot, and If It is server node, will provide option of Web and Automatic view(If support is there) option. |
PI90814 | Problem: ClearCase users running Linux may see EMLINK ("Too many links") errors when trying to access directories.

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. |

PI83215 | Problem: ClearCase view private files larger than 4 KB take more time to read on SUSE SLES 12 SP2 when compared to SUSE SLES 11 SP3.
Fix:MVFS was fixed to make the read-ahead work correctly on SUSE SLES 12. logged. |
PI82359 | Problem: ClearCase processes crash when executed by a Windows account that is a member of a group represented by long Windows SID, such as SIDs for non-domain accounts linked to a Microsoft account
Fix: ClearCase processes no longer fail with such accounts, but ClearCase will ignore any group (behave as if the user is not a member of the group) represented by a long Windows SID. |
PI82010 | Problem: The outdated Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Visual C++ runtimes are distributed with ClearCase and ClearQuest as those products have components that depend on them.
Fix: All dependencies on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Visual C++ runtimes have been removed from ClearCase and ClearQuest, and those runtimes are no longer installed |
PI80609 | Problem: ClearCase customers may experience a system crash when accessing MVFS files.
Fix: This issue has been resolved. |
PI80487 | Problem: A ClearCase Syncreplica -import of the modstream_cspec oplog generated by creating a child stream fails with a segmentation fault in a sibling that has removed the parent stream.
Fix: The replay code has been modified to properly store the modstream_cspec oplog while skipping its replay if the parent stream is not found in the importing replica. |
PI78918 | Problem: A ClearCase "RMSTREAM" of "Feature Level 5" stream after raising VOB to "Feature Level 7" FAILS WITH "ERROR FROM VOB DATABASE" FOR UCM PROJECT VOB.

PI78636 | Problem: An attempt to rebuild the MultiVersion File System kernel module for IBM ClearCase will fail on SUSE SLES12 SP2 and Ubuntu 16.04 systems with the error message: /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src/mvfs_mdep_linux.c:2764:9: error: implicit declaration of function inode_capable [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
Fix: This problem has been resolved. |
PI78498 | Problem: When running ClearCase SLES 12 SP2, you may observe repetitive messages such as this in the syslog: systemd[16300]: Failed to get udev device from devnum 253:0: No such device
Fix: The ClearCase MVFS has been updated to provide the information which systemd is querying in this situation, to eliminate the log messages. |
PI78319 | Problem: ClearCase customers are unable to use dynamic views because MVFS is not loaded on Windows 10 if Device Guard is enabled.
Fix: The ClearCase MVFS driver was changed to adopt the requirements imposed by Device Guard. |
PI77954 | Problem:Removing a ClearCase UCM stream while a remote site has a view attached (to the stream) causes the db dumper to fail.
Fix: The db dumper has been fixed. |

Fix: A defect in the ClearCase MVFS, which caused corruption of NFS data, has been fixed. |
PI73587 | Problem: When working in ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) , you may find that the file you just checked out does not appear to be checked out only when the path is accessed through address bar.
Fix: Check out status is displayed as expected in ClearTeam Details pane, even when the file is accessed from the address bar. |
PI73356 | Problem: ClearCase "chmaster -stream" may not change mastership of timeline objects.
Fix: On schema 80 and feature level 8, "chmaster -stream" will change mastership of timeline objects whether it has timeline folder or not. |
PI73135 | Problem: ClearCase users may see intermittent Access Denied errors when accessing files using non-ClearCase Access if the VOB root directory does not have execute permissions set.
Fix: Capability checks have been added to the MVFS permission checks to resolve this situation. |
PI73132 | Problem: On AIX 7.1, using the open() system call with the O_CLOEXEC flag to open a file/dir in the ClearCase MVFS returns EINVAL.
Fix: On AIX 7.1 (and later) the O_CLOEXEC flag can now be used to open a file/dir in the ClearCase MVFS. |
PI70236 | Problem: When a building in a ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience sporadic random read/write errors
Fix: This issue with IBM Rational ClearCase MVFS has been resolved. |
PI69005 | Problem: The ClearCase binary_delta type manager may not remove temporary file(s) after a failed type manager operation.
Fix:The ClearCase binary_delta type manager was fixed to remove temporary files. |
PI68851 | Problem: When using the ClearCase Remote Client command line interface -- rcleartool -- attempts to use rcleartool mkattr to create or update a string attribute may fail with 'invalid string "{passed string}"'.
Fix: Non-interactive invocations of rcleartool mkattr for string attributes no longer strips the embedded quotes and should apply the attribute properly. |
PI64788 | Problem: After writing to a file and closing it, if an application sets its attributes, ClearCase MVFS will change the attributes back to the values the file had when it was closed.
Fix: Before setting attributes after having a file changed and closed, MVFS now checks if the attributes has been set by an application and will persist it if so. |
PI61697 | Problem: When building in an ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a hang.
Fix: The lock acquisition rule has been fixed to resolve this specific case. |
PI44831 | Problem: When using CtCmd with Rational ClearCase "cleartool describe -fmt" the output is truncated by one byte if the first string is 16384 characters and the second the second string is one byte longer than the first.
Fix: Cleartool describe buffer handling was fixed. |
PI30193 | Problem: When performing audited builds in a ClearCase dynamic view the customer will see an "ACCESS DENIED" error log entry when deleting a derived object, although the delete operation completes successfully.
Fix: When a MVFS file is about to be deleted, MVFS tries to flush any pending change on the cache to its cleartext file, however derived object files are stored on a VOB, which are opened as read-only. Trying to flush files opened as read-only causes the "ACCESS DENIED" error seen on the log. Now MVFS only request a flush on such situation if the cleartext file is stored on a VIEW, and not on a VOB. |
PI28582 | Problem: In a ClearCase nonpreserving replica with ACLs enabled, syncreplica replay of a mkelem oplog may generate a second "create file element" event in the database, which can cause failures in reformatvob and mkreplica -impor

Fix: Change sets can now be viewed in ClearQuest Web using the CC/CQ UCM integration. |
PI70235 | Problem: When working in the Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), you may find that doing a "merge to" in the CTE Version Tree will launch the Diffmerge GUI and will not detect the merge as a "trivial merge".
Fix: A new preference is introduced which will let the user control this behavior. And by default the merges from Version Tree will be done automatically. Preference location: Team->IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer->Integration->Compare/Merge |
PI68935 | Problem: ClearCase checkin failure due to a missing source container reports cleartext path.
Fix: The source container is now correctly included in the error message. |

Fix: ClearCase Explorer running with the Oracle Java Runtime, version 6 now correctly connects to a CCRC WAN Server. |
PI64067 | Problem: If the ClearQuest Web session time-out is set to a higher value than the license time-out, licenses for inactive CQ Web sessions are only released when the CQ session time-out occurs and not after the (earlier) license time-out. This could cause CQ Web users to consume too many licenses during busy times of the day.
Fix: Rational Common Licensing has been fixed so that inactive CQ Web sessions licenses are now released correctly according to the license time-out value as opposed to the higher web session time-out value. |
PI63410 | Problem: When working with the ClearCase Explorer integrated with RDz, the CLEARCASE_COMMENT variable entry is empty when the user adds an element of a logical model to source control.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase Explorer integrated with RDz to ensure that the CLEARCASE_COMMENT variable is properly set when the user adds an element of a logical model to source control. |
PI63100 | Problem: If the ClearCase MVFS logging severity level is increased to "stale" on a Solaris 10 or 11 system running IBM Rational ClearCase, the occurrence of an NFS ESTALE error which triggers a logging event may cause a system panic.

PI59063 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase automatic views mounted VOB tags (on a per-view basis) were handled in a case sensitive manner on Windows regardless of the setting of the MVFS case insensitive flag.
Fix: The MVFS case insensitive flag is now used when handling mounted VOB tags in automatic views on Windows. |
PI58795 | Problem: In IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeamExplorer (CTE) sub-directories of the VOBs are not shown in the "Apply Label" wizard GUI
Fix: Sub-directories of the VOBs will now be listed in "Apply Label" wizard and available for selection. |
PI51867 | Problem: If an IBM ClearCase "rmstream" operation fails in the process of removing the foundation baselines from the configuration of the stream, then the STREAM record in the VOB is left in a corrupted state.
Fix: After the failure, some internal objects are deleted but the pointers are kept in the stream record. This fix checks internal objects existence before trying to delete it again on the next rmstream command. |
PI47621 | Problem: IBM ClearCase rcleartool error handling failed to increment the argument counter for failed checkins, causing subsequent messages to be off my one.
Fix: Error handling has been corrected so that output element names are now synched with actual behaviour. |
PI45519 | Problem: A locked IBM ClearCase pvob can cause "rebase -comp" to fail.
Fix: A new routine is used to remove broken hyperlinks caused by locked pvob, so "rebase-comp" can continue to create a new hype |
PI40960 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase Cadence Integration, MultiSite SRFM operations do not show enough information for failures arising from checkouts at the remote sibling.
Fix: This fix improves the error message in the case where a checkout at a remote sibling blocks fulfillment of a SRFM operation. |
PI05605 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase Windows dynamic views in case sensitve mode, case preserving mode was not respected. Names were always entered in lower-case.

PM79307 | Problem: Performing a checkout using a dynamic view in IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) with a configuration specification (config spec) which selects a version other than LATEST on the branch results in a checkout of LATEST on that branch. Although a setting exists to allow web views to checkout the view selected version (Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout > "Checkout the version that is loaded even if it is not the latest", this setting does not change the behavior of dynamic views.
Fix: When performing a checkout in a dynamic view and the view-selected version is not the latest on the branch, the user is now allowed to choose whether to checkout the view-selected version or the latest version on the branch. A new set of preferences have been added for dynamic views: Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout >"Checkout the view-selected version even if it is not the latest on the branch" and "Checkout the latest version on the branch". |

Fix: 'Add as link' operation no longer causes Visual Studio to freeze. |
PM78205 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer does not display merge arrows if you start with partial version tree, then double click on the ... box/branch to expand to full version tree.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer has been fixed to show merge arrows in a partial version tree. |
PI17288 | Problem: When using Rational ClearCase MVFS and renaming a file or directory through a view-extended name to a name in the viewroot, AIX may panic, even for an unprivileged user. For instance, doing "mv /view/test-view/var /view/var" will cause a panic.
Fix: ClearCase MVFS was fixed to avoid the panic in these rename situations. |
PI16366 | Problem: Customers using Rational ClearCase dynamic views may have their builds interrupted with an error about not being able to write to a given file. The ClearCase MVFS driver was incorrectly handling an error condition when trying to lock user buffer memory pages.
Fix: ClearCase MVFS now forwards the new request to the storage file system without locking the user buffer. The underlying file system will take the necessary steps as it would do without having MVFS installed. |
PI15615 | Problem: ClearCase does not properly fail a checkin when an RPC times out trying to communicate with ClearCase remote server.
Fix: Error processing has been corrected in ClearCase versions 8.0.0.5 and 8.0.1 |
PI15508 | Problem: When working in IBM Rational ClearCase Z (CCz), the build server may fail to parse procedures and terminate a build (due to Linux/Windows use of '\n').
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase Z (CCz) now properly parses BCL which is stored on MVS. |
PI15411 | Problem: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical fails if the full ClearCase client is not installed.
Fix: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical now use the ClearCase native diff/merge tools which are part of the Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) package. |
PI14691 | Problem: Saving a file from the Rational ClearTeam Explorer version tree using the "save as" function adds null characters to the file. This is reproducible from both a web and dynamic view.
Fix: The "save as" function has been corrected. |
PI14640 | Problem: Users of Rational ClearCase MVFS may see corrupted files containing zeros if the use of the cache manager is turned on. The issue is caused because the view server may send stale information about the file size and makes the file smaller than it actually is in the cache. Later MVFS updates the file size to the correct value, but the file data has already been lost.
Fix: Rational ClearCase MVFS now ignores file size updates for files opened for write if the use of the cache manager is turned on. This prevents the file size to be updated with stale information preserving its data on the local cache. |
PI14606 | Problem: Using the Rational ClearCase-Cadence integration, there are times when a user may select a Cadence object in the Hierarchy Manager, or the ClearCase Work Area Manager (WAM), and select a ClearCase operation (e.g. Label, checkout, and others) and the resulting dialog box may not show any items that were selected. The user would then not be able to perform the desired operation.
Fix: The ClearCase-Cadence integration has been changed to properly address this situation and the objects selected in the WAM or the Hierarchy Manager will now be properly displayed in the desired operation dialog box. |
PI14582 | Problem: Using URLs that contain non-ASCII characters with the OSLC-based Rational UCM/CQ Integration (SQUID) or the Rational Change Management Integration (CMI) causes the integrations to malfunction.
Fix: URLs that contain non-ASCII characters are now properly encoded. |
PI14475 | Problem: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout() was not correctly clearing cached data which was causing incorrect authentication information to be re-used in subsequent logins in the same process.
Fix: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout() now correctly clears cached data. |
PI14065 | Problem: When a Rational ClearCase VOB root directory element is protected so a user cannot read the directory, ClearCase could intermittently fail on "ls -l" and similar commands that attempt to access the metadata of the VOB root.
Fix: ClearCase is fixed so all users can get metadata on the VOB root directory. Permission to read the contents of the directory are still properly enforced. |
PI12880 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase views with a large cache (e.g.32MB) the view_server process may become 100% busy when 'cleartool setcs -current' is run, if the views object cache is 100% full.
Fix: Performance was improved for cache full situations. |
PI12750 | Problem: When working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence integration, it is not showing the correct title bar of the Editor windows with the correct Library/Cell/Cellview/Version information, when descending into the design hierarchy.
Fix: Title bar of the cellview editor will now be appropriately updated with the title of the sub block when opened in the same tab. |
PI12579 | Problem: When you are working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration, you may see the following error when adding files to source control: "Error loading PowerBuilder Orca library, PBORC15.DLL". The files are added to source control correctly and there seems to be no impact due to the error. You can clear the error by selecting the OK button.
Fix: The "Version Libraries" option is no longer available in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration after version 8. Please read http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21258623 |
PI12531 | Problem: In documentation about configuring the ClearQuest integration with ClearCase UCM, the ClearQuest CM Server URI for the ClearQuest web server hosting the user database was incorrectly identified as CLEARQUEST-TEAM-URI.
Fix: The correct value is CQ-TEAM-URI; instances of CLEARQUEST-TEAM-URI have been fixed. |
PI12482 | Problem: In Rational ClearTeam Explorer, the user is unable to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard if the label is locked.
Fix: The user is now able to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard even if the label is locked. |
PI12302 | Problem: If you are logged in with a user name that contains a space, you may see the following error: "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" when comparing UTF8* or UTF16* files when you are are working in IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer or another native graphical user interface (GUI), such as the version tree browser. You may also see the same error when running cleartool diff -g -pred utf8filename.xxx.
Fix: User names are now enclosed in quotes to be able to handle user names containing spaces. |
PI11635 | Problem: Users of IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux could periodically see checked-out and view-private files having all their file size set to 0 and the creation date set to January 1, 1970.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux will now return the correct file information in all cases. |
PI10990 | Problem: In the System Requirements for IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x, it states that Sybase PowerBuilder is supported for use with the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC).
Fix: System Requirements for the IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x / Sybase PowerBuilder integration have been corrected. |
PI10723 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer fails to show any stream views if the list includes views with missing view tags.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now displays valid stream views and skips the views that are missing view tags in the ClearCase registry. |
PI05069 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase fails to remove remote views using a Microsoft Windows 8 client and a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 server.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase rmview has been fixed. |
PM98666 | Problem: In the Rational ClearCase Change Management Integration for UCM, cleartool setactivity and cleartool mkactivity can fail with a segmentation fault if the stream's Change Management Integration configuration is missing the "validate" keyword.
Fix: The Integration will now use the default value for "validate" if the Admin has not explicitly configured it on the stream. |

Fix: Memory management was corrected and resolves this issue. |
PI09673 | Problem: When logging into IBM Rational ClearQuest from within the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer interface, the error "Incorrect username or password for schema repository XXXXXX" is thrown.
Fix: A fix for this defect is available in this release of IBM Rational ClearCase. This fix is required on Windows platforms only. |
PI09606 | Problem: During Rational ClearCase builds customers may experience a system crash due to a race condition.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase MVFS has been modified to avoid this system crash. |
PI09398 | Problem: A system on which a parallel audited build is running in IBM Rational ClearCase may hang due to a locking deadlock in the file system.
Fix: The order of locking file system resources when writing audit records during a parallel audited build was modified to avoid a potential deadlock. |
PI09243 | Problem: In some instances you may receive a Null Pointer Exception when working in the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) extension in Rational Software Architect Real Time Edition (RSARTE). This would occur when you are importing a Team Project Set that contained a project that has been rmnamed. The CTE-pfs importer would crash with the Null Pointer.
Fix: The exception is now caught and a dialog is presented with the missing project(s) in a details section. The user has the option to proceed (importing the found projects, skipping those not found) or aborting the psf import gracefully. |
PI08881 | Problem: Using Rational ClearCase clearmake in Gnu compatibility mode may produce an incorrect result for an 'if' clause when processing a makefile that has a tab character immediately following an 'else' clause.
Fix: This fix resolves the issue so the 'if' clause is properly evaluated when there is a tab character after the 'else' clause. |
PI08503 | Problem: Users of IBM Rational ClearCase might encounter spurious "File not found" errors during large parallel builds.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to no longer return spurious "File not found errors" during builds. |
PI08336 | Problem: A Rational ClearQuest WAN server URL of the form: http://ccrc.... is not usable.
Fix: Parsing of the URL has been fixed. |
PI08315 | Problem: When working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence integration, adding binary Cadence files (*.dm and *.oa) to source control that do not exist in the default magic file will fail.
Fix: Added entries to the default.magic file for *.dm and *.oa files so that these files get created as binary files. |
PI07655 | Problem: Rational ClearCase cleartool mkbl may fail with internal error: dbid not found in database.
Fix: Foundation hyperlink management was corrected to resolve this issue. |
PI07642 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase Mainframe Connectors may fail when pressing enter on the main panel (without inputting anything).

Fix: Rational ClearCase MVFS code was changed to use an AIX kernel interface that avoids the panic. |
PI05830 | Problem: Rational ClearCase CLMUTIL utility cannot remove task links to objects which no longer exist.
Fix: CLMUTIL utility is now able to remove the task links. |
PI04959 | Problem: ClearCase native diff tool fails to run when invoked from ClearTeam Explorer on Windows. The native tool is invoked from Java using Runtime.exec(). The problem appears to be due to changes in Java such that Runtime.exec() will not correctly parse a single command string when the main command has spaces without embedded quote marks.
Fix: The code has been changed to use the deprecated ProcessBuilder calls. This will prevent problems when paths with spaces are used. |

APAR | Description |
PI04987 | Problem: On some Unix and Linux platforms, IBM Rational ClearCase installed incorrect symlinks for ccase-home-dir/etc/rsh and ccase-home-dir/etc/abe_starter, which prevented distributed clearmake builds from starting properly.
Fix: The symlinks for rsh and abe_starter are handled correctly by the installation code, and will be maintained correctly across upgrades as well. |
PM99780 | Problem: The "cleartool mkbl -clone" command in IBM Rational ClearCase may fail with a core dump. Similarly, the IBM Rational MultiSitemultitool synch import operation may fail on replay of a mkbl -clone command.
Fix: The cleartool mkbl -clone and the replay of mkbl -clone by multitool synch will no longer crash on a memory overflow condition. |
PM99612 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client may fail with a Null Pointer Exception when field names contain multibyte characters.
Fix: Multibyte characters in field names will no longer cause an exception. |
PM99453 | Problem: Under certain circumstances, a distributed build in IBM Rational ClearCase may incorrectly invalidate the MultiVersion Filesystem cache when building on the local host, which can cause a small performance degradation during builds.
Fix: The distributed build will now correctly determine if the build is done on the local host and not invalidate the cache. |
PM99221 | .Problem: The IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSA-RTE) may display a model's members in the checkouts view incorrectly after a model mutation.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer / RSA-RTE integration will now correctly display a model's members after a model mutation. |
PM99147 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase users would encounter occasional system panics during large builds on Microsoft Windows(R) systems
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to prevent system panics during large builds on Microsoft Windows(R) systems. |
PM99099 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Logical Model Merge may undo a checkout with merge results.
Fix: Logical Model Merge has been fixed to not incorrectly undo checkouts with merge results. |
PM99093 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSA-RTE) may not be able to perform a checkin after removing a fragment from a model.
Fix: A check-in can now be performed in after removing a fragment from a model. |
PM99090 | Problem:The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge provides insufficient information about versions being fetched for merge,
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now provides sufficient information about versions being fetched for merge. |
PM98666 | Problem:In the Change Management Integration for UCM, cleartool setactivity and cleartool mkactivity can fail with a segmentation fault if the stream's Change Management Integration configuration is missing the "validate" keyword.
Fix: The Integration will now use the default value for "validate" if the Admin has not explicitly configured it on the stream. |
Problem: During some merges done using the IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge, unnecessary branches are created, due to the lack of support for an option to undo backwards merges.
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now supports a flag to undo backwards merges to avoid creating unnecessary branches. |
|
PM98277 | Problem: The problem is caused by two ClearCase dialogs, one open and one about to open, running simultaneously. This does not normally occur, unless: 1) The .settings folder and it's content does not exist in the project. 2) The user has more than one transformation config and changes which is the default. 3) The user *quickly* attempts to refactor a model object after changing the default transformation configuration.
Fix: The ClearCase dialogs have listeners for change events within the dialogs and the add to source listener fires when the checkout dialog is about to open due to the refactor operation. The listeners now filter on the event source so that the listeners will only respond to the correct event source. |
PM97900 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge exits prematurely, before all the extraneous checkouts performed during the merge are undone.
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now waits for all the extraneous checkouts to be undone before completing the merge command. |
PM97895 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer should print all logging information to the Eclipse log, but it is being displayed on the console.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer will now print exceptions and log information to the Eclipse workspace log. |
PM92769 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer Logical Model Merge incorrectly identifies contributor versions when changes are made to fragments only with no changes to the model file
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer has been modified so that it will now corrrectly identifiy contributor versions when performing Logical Model Merges. |
PM97784 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer had not been updated to support the latest improvements to the CLI Closure Merge feature of the IBM Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE).
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now fully supports the latest improvements to RSARTE CLI Closure Merge |
PM97194 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE), there is no Checkin option in the right click menu of CTE Checkouts view if model root directory is chosen.
Fix: The context menu in the ClearTeam Explorer Checkouts view is now the same regardless of the selection in the view, and includes the Checkin option. |
PM97192 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, if you rename the file of a logical model fragment while there is an open checkouts view, and then attempt to check in the model, the checkin will attempt to check in the old name because CTE's internal model did not get updated for the rename.
Fix: On certain refactor operations on logical models, the CTE move/delete operations now correctly update the CTE internal model so that checkin will function correctly. |
PM97072 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, the lack of a Show Checkouts action on the ClearCase toolbar makes it difficult for the user to open the Checkouts view.
Fix: The main toolbar in ClearTeam Explorer now includes the Show Checkouts action to allow the user to quickly open the Checkouts view. |
PM96863 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge unnecessarily fetches all the active dynamic views on startup, causing delay in performing the merge.
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge no longer fetches all the active dynamic views on startup which allows the merge operation to commence quickly. |
PM95985 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration will generate an error to the user for view tags or stream names longer than 50 characters for entry into ClearQuest records.
Fix: The ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration truncates view tags and stream names when they are longer than 50 characters. |
PM95898 | Problem: Wildcard specifications in Rational ClearCase lsview may incorrectly report "no matching entries".
Fix: Wildcard specifications in Rational ClearCase lsview no longer report the error message when views exists and match the wildcard pattern. |
PM95740 | Problem: Processes could hang if they attempted to access a file in the IBM Rational ClearCase Multi-Version File System that was in the process of being deleted.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to eliminate a race condition so that processes will not hang while accessing files that are in the process of being deleted. |
PM95273 | Problem: If you have the Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 with Microsoft Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2012 plugin and IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client plugin installed, devenv.exe will crash when you are saving a Microsoft Team Foundation Server work item.
Fix:Visual Studio crash during a Team Foundation Server workitem save had been resolved. |
PM94448 | Problem: When attempting to use the rcleartool portion of the ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer plugin for Eclipse, the setup will fail because it is unable to locate the launcher script.
Fix: Rcleartool script now configures correctly for the first time use in Clear Team Explorer Eclipse Plugin. |
PM91211 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase integration with Microsoft Visual Studio(R) 2012 may show performance degradation as compared with previous versions of Microsoft Visual Studio. This performance degradation can be seen when using MultiVersion File System (MVFS) dynamic views, when scrolling through the items in the solution explorer when the solution is very large, or when displaying files in a large directory.
Fix: A performance problem in operations within large directories in the IBM Rational ClearCase integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 has been fixed. |
PM90880 | Problem: When stopping IBM Rational ClearCase services on an HP-UX system which had been running a substantial load, it was possible to receive errors unmounting some VOBs, and that in turn prevented successful unmount of the viewroot.
Fix: Changes were made in the ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) file inactivation code to correctly release all resources on the last close of a file which had been opened by multiple processes. |
PM90878 | Problem: Large multiprocessor build servers running HP-UX 11.31 would experience sporadic system crashes during periods of high activity.
Fix: Locking around the vnode reference count in the IBM Rational ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) was corrected, to prevent race conditions between threads deactivating and reactivating the same file object. |
PM90373 | Problem: When running the IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch" from the command line with multiple replicas given as options, the command will abort if it encounters a failure contacting one of the replicas. It then does not continue processing the command and so does not attempt to access the subsequent replicas.
Fix: The command now continues processing and attempts to access the subsequent replicas. |
PM90370 | Problem: When running IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch -actual replica1 replica2 ...", if replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command should produce an error of the type "unable to retrieve epoch row for remote replica". At this time there is no error or message indicating any issues with replica1 as long at there is connectivity to the remote site and the VOB server host exists.
Fix: If replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command now produces an error. |
PM90176 | Problem: In the ClearCase Information Center step 6 of the instructions for moving a VOB within a domain is incorrect, the target host is specified in a command where the source host is required.
Fix: The incorrect hostname in the example has been fixed. |
PM90121 | Problem: IBM Rational Clearcase on Microsoft Windows 7 may encounter a system hang when performing parallel builds within a dynamic view.
Fix: The IBM Rational Clearcase Multi-Version File System code has been modified to alleviate hangs during parallel builds. |
PM88679 | Problem: When Symantec 12.1.2.x is installed on a Microsoft(R) Windows system running the IBM Rational ClearCase client, applications which write to a temporary file in a scratch directory could trigger a Windows STOP error when that temporary file is renamed as a view-private file.
Fix: The MVFS filesystem has been updated to be compatible with the filter drivers in Symantec 12.1.x. |
PM88248 | Problem: In the Rational ClearCase integration with Cadence Design Framework II, attempting to apply a label for which the ClearCase label type was not defined would generate an error, rather than creating the label type.
Fix: The integration now properly creates the ClearCase label type correctly in the appropriate VOB(s). |
PM88109 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record (e.g. trivial rebase) fail on AIX.
Fix: ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record now succeed on AIX. |
PM87962 | Problem: If Microsoft Security Client is installed on an IBM Rational ClearCase client system, running an executable which was winked in during the build process can cause a Windows STOP error.
Fix: The ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) has been modified to be compatible with Microsoft Security Client. |
PM87725 | Problem: The ClearCase Infocenter lists the wrong default value for the CCASE_ABE_PN environment variable.
Fix: The default paths for CCASE_ABE_PN and CLEARCASE_ABE_PN have been corrected for Unix, Linux, and Windows. |
PM87538 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) may not show the current checkout comments for a checked-out version. Modifications made by CTE to checkout comments through a property sheet are lost when the version is checked in.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) has been fixed to correctly display and modify comments on checked-out versions. |
PM85153 | Problem: When applying a label in am IBM Rational ClearCase view, you may find that not all labels are applied or that some elements report errors but the labels have been applied.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified so that labels will now be applied properly. |

PM95042 | Problem: cleartool: Warning: Unable to get explicit composite baseline While rebasing an IBM Rational ClearCase stream which has foundations on multiple composite baselines, the user may receive multiple occurrences of the message "cleartool: Warning: Unable to get explicit composite baseline" which has unclear meaning and makes the other command output extremely difficult to read.
Fix: More detailed error reporting can be enabled by setting a special environment variable, CCASE_EXPANDED_MSGS to any non-empty string. If CCASE_EXPANDED_MSGS is empty or non-existent, the behavior and messages are unchanged. |
PI26867 | Problem: While working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence integration, you may find that the label dialog box is empty when attempting to label a hierarchy. This is caused when your Cadence environment has customized the Virtuoso menu options and are calling functions in the ClearCase/Cadence menu items.
Fix: This change corrects the scenario and the all of the appropriate cells will show up in the Label Dialog box. |
PI25327 | Problem:In IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer, Default Deliver operation repeatedly complains about the integration view that is no longer available, even after the user creates a new integration view to be used for the Default Deliver operation.
Fix: When the user creates a new integration view during a Default Deliver operation in IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer, the new view is recorded as the default integration view for the subsequent Default Deliver operations. |
PI24097 | Problem: When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, customers would see build errors.
Fix: The problem was caused by reads beyond the end of file. The file read was modified to prevent that condition. |
PI21647 | Problem: When running a parallel build in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a Microsoft STOP error (BSOD).
Fix:This issue with IBM Rational ClearCase MVFS has been resolved. |
PI21092 | Problem: When opening a Visual Studio.NET 2010 or Visual Studio.NET 2012 solution or project, IBM Rational ClearCase 8.0.x may automatically check out the solution and project files.
Fix: The solution and project files are no longer automatically checked out. |
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI20000" TARGET="_blank">PI20000 | Problem: When you are trying to copy (CTRL+C) and then paste (CTRL+V), the properties of a file in IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), you will find that it does not work.
Fix: The Edit menu needed to have the copy/pate/cut/select_all enabled in the plugin/plugin.xml. |
PI19022 | Problem: The ClearCase cleartool relocate command may stop processing with a bus error or segmentation fault under certain scenarios where attributes are placed on other meta data types.
Fix: The cleartool relocate command now properly handles attributes placed on other meta data types. |
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI18999" TARGET="_blank">PI18999 | Problem:When working in IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), options at the bottom of the CTE checkin preferences dialog window are not visible because the dialog window is truncated and the scroll bar will not scroll to the bottom of the dialog window.

APAR | Description |
PI22822 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase remote dynamic and remote NFS4 view storage, customers would see EPERM errors on checkout.
Fix: The problem was caused by an extra open attempt being sent to the NFS4 server. The cleartext file creation was modified to prevent that condition. |
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI22401" TARGET="_blank">PI22401 | Problem: When you are using the IBM Rational ClearCase elem-owner-check.pl script to change any invalid or unknown users of directories or elements to the vob owner, you may find that they are changed to Nobody if the owner of the vob is Nobody.
Fix: The IBM Rational ClearCase elem-owner-check.pl script has been modified to detect and stop when a VOB is owned by Nobody. |
PI22258 | Problem: When integrating IBM Rational ClearCase Unified Change Management (UCM) with IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) via the Change Management Integration, multiple UCM activities cannot be associated with a single RTC Work Item.
Fix: The Change Management Integration (CMI) will now allow multiple activities on the same stream to be associated with an RTC Work Item or ClearQuest record. |
PI20520 | Problem: IBM Rational CCRC Server and CCRC clients with locale (LANG) set to non-ASCII on both (e.g: EN_US.UTF-8 or EN_GB.GB18030) generate an error.
Fix: The fix resolves the encoding issue on the CCRC WAN server side and it is transparent to customers (there is no additional effort required by customers). |
PI19793 | Problem: Users of ClearCase views exported from a Linux system may see an error when mounting or accessing the view using NFS4, due to a problem with the Linux NFS4 implementation.
Fix: ClearCase has been modified to return certain values in the attribute information for exported directories in a way which is consistent with what is expected by the Linux NFS4 implementation. |
PI18840 | Problem: When IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer users disconnect from the IBM Rational CCRC WAN Server, the corresponding user session is not terminated on the server.
Fix: Disconnecting from a CCRC WAN Server in ClearTeam Explorer will now terminate the user session on the server in under five minutes. |
PI11015 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer rcleartool, nested version selection rules and comments in webview config spec do not work.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer rcleartool has been fixed to properly read/use nested version selection rules. Comments in web view config spec are not supported. |

PM86857 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase users may encounter STOP errors when building using dynamic views on Microsoft Windows(R) platforms
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to prevent STOP errors while building. |
PM86765 | Problem: Rational ClearCase / Visual Studio 2012 integration freezes on 'Add as link' operation.
Fix: 'Add as link' operation no longer causes Visual Studio to freeze. |
PM78205 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer does not display merge arrows if you start with partial version tree, then double click on the ... box/branch to expand to full version tree.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer has been fixed to show merge arrows in a partial version tree. |
PI17288 | Problem: When using Rational ClearCase MVFS and renaming a file or directory through a view-extended name to a name in the viewroot, AIX may panic, even for an unprivileged user. For instance, doing "mv /view/test-view/var /view/var" will cause a panic.
Fix: ClearCase MVFS was fixed to avoid the panic in these rename situations. |
PI16366 | Problem: Customers using Rational ClearCase dynamic views may have their builds interrupted with an error about not being able to write to a given file. The ClearCase MVFS driver was incorrectly handling an error condition when trying to lock user buffer memory pages.
Fix: ClearCase MVFS now forwards the new request to the storage file system without locking the user buffer. The underlying file system will take the necessary steps as it would do without having MVFS installed. |
PI15615 | Problem: ClearCase does not properly fail a checkin when an RPC times out trying to communicate with ClearCase remote server.
Fix: Error processing has been corrected in ClearCase versions 8.0.0.5 and 8.0.0.11. |
PI15411 | Problem: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical fails if the full ClearCase client is not installed.
Fix: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical now use the ClearCase native diff/merge tools which are part of the Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) package. |
PI14691 | Problem: Saving a file from the Rational ClearTeam Explorer version tree using the "save as" function adds null characters to the file. This is reproducible from both a web and dynamic view.
Fix: The "save as" function has been corrected. |
PI14640 | Problem: Users of Rational ClearCase MVFS may see corrupted files containing zeros if the use of the cache manager is turned on. The issue is caused because the view server may send stale information about the file size and makes the file smaller than it actually is in the cache. Later MVFS updates the file size to the correct value, but the file data has already been lost.
Fix: Rational ClearCase MVFS now ignores file size updates for files opened for write if the use of the cache manager is turned on. This prevents the file size to be updated with stale information preserving its data on the local cache. |
PI14606 | Problem: Using the Rational ClearCase-Cadence integration, there are times when a user may select a Cadence object in the Hierarchy Manager, or the ClearCase Work Area Manager (WAM), and select a ClearCase operation (e.g. Label, checkout, and others) and the resulting dialog box may not show any items that were selected. The user would then not be able to perform the desired operation.
Fix: The ClearCase-Cadence integration has been changed to properly address this situation and the objects selected in the WAM or the Hierarchy Manager will now be properly displayed in the desired operation dialog box. |
PI14582 | Problem: Using URLs that contain non-ASCII characters with the OSLC-based Rational UCM/CQ Integration (SQUID) or the Rational Change Management Integration (CMI) causes the integrations to malfunction.
Fix: URLs that contain non-ASCII characters are now properly encoded. |
PI14475 | Problem: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout() was not correctly clearing cached data which was causing incorrect authentication information to be re-used in subsequent logins in the same process.
Fix: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout() now correctly clears cached data. |
PI12880 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase views with a large cache (e.g.32MB) the view_server process may become 100% busy when 'cleartool setcs -current' is run, if the views object cache is 100% full.
Fix: Performance was improved for cache full situations. |
PI12750 | Problem: When working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence integration, it is not showing the correct title bar of the Editor windows with the correct Library/Cell/Cellview/Version information, when descending into the design hierarchy.
Fix: Title bar of the cellview editor will now be appropriately updated with the title of the sub block when opened in the same tab. |
PI12579 | Problem: When you are working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration, you may see the following error when adding files to source control: "Error loading PowerBuilder Orca library, PBORC15.DLL". The files are added to source control correctly and there seems to be no impact due to the error. You can clear the error by selecting the OK button.
Fix: The "Version Libraries" option is no longer available in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration after version 8. Please read http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21258623 |
PI12482 | Problem: In Rational ClearTeam Explorer, the user is unable to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard if the label is locked.
Fix: The user is now able to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard even if the label is locked. |
PI12302 | Problem: If you are logged in with a user name that contains a space, you may see the following error: "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" when comparing UTF8* or UTF16* files when you are are working in IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer or another native graphical user interface (GUI), such as the version tree browser. You may also see the same error when running cleartool diff -g -pred utf8filename.xxx.
Fix: User names are now enclosed in quotes to be able to handle user names containing spaces. |
PI11635 | Problem: Users of IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux could periodically see checked-out and view-private files having all their file size set to 0 and the creation date set to January 1, 1970.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux will now return the correct file information in all cases. |
PI10990 | Problem: In the System Requirements for IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x, it states that Sybase PowerBuilder is supported for use with the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC).
Fix: System Requirements for the IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x / Sybase PowerBuilder integration have been corrected. |
PI10723 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer fails to show any stream views if the list includes views with missing view tags.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now displays valid stream views and skips the views that are missing view tags in the ClearCase registry. |

Fix: The order of locking file system resources when writing audit records during a parallel audited build was modified to avoid a potential deadlock. |
PI09243 | Problem: In some instances you may receive a Null Pointer Exception when working in the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) extension in Rational Software Architect Real Time Edition (RSARTE). This would occur when you are importing a Team Project Set that contained a project that has been rmnamed. The CTE-pfs importer would crash with the Null Pointer.
Fix: The exception is now caught and a dialog is presented with the missing project(s) in a details section. The user has the option to proceed (importing the found projects, skipping those not found) or aborting the psf import gracefully. |
PI08881 | Problem: Using Rational ClearCase clearmake in Gnu compatibility mode may produce an incorrect result for an 'if' clause when processing a makefile that has a tab character immediately following an 'else' clause.
Fix: This fix resolves the issue so the 'if' clause is properly evaluated when there is a tab character after the 'else' clause. |

Fix: The Integration will now use the default value for "validate" if the Admin has not explicitly configured it on the stream. |
PM98558 | Problem: During some merges done using the IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge, unnecessary branches are created, due to the lack of support for an option to undo backwards merges.
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now supports a flag to undo backwards merges to avoid creating unnecessary branches. |
PM98277 | Problem: The problem is caused by two ClearCase dialogs, one open and one about to open, running simultaneously. This does not normally occur, unless: 1) The .settings folder and it's content does not exist in the project. 2) The user has more than one transformation config and changes which is the default. 3) The user *quickly* attempts to refactor a model object after changing the default transformation configuration.
Fix: The ClearCase dialogs have listeners for change events within the dialogs and the add to source listener fires when the checkout dialog is about to open due to the refactor operation. The listeners now filter on the event source so that the listeners will only respond to the correct event source. |
PM97900 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge exits prematurely, before all the extraneous checkouts performed during the merge are undone.

PM97194 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE), there is no Checkin option in the right click menu of CTE Checkouts view if model root directory is chosen.
Fix: The context menu in the ClearTeam Explorer Checkouts view is now the same regardless of the selection in the view, and includes the Checkin option. |
PM97192 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, if you rename the file of a logical model fragment while there is an open checkouts view, and then attempt to check in the model, the checkin will attempt to check in the old name because CTE's internal model did not get updated for the rename.
Fix: On certain refactor operations on logical models, the CTE move/delete operations now correctly update the CTE internal model so that checkin will function correctly. |
PM97072 | Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, the lack of a Show Checkouts action on the ClearCase toolbar makes it difficult for the user to open the Checkouts view.
Fix: The main toolbar in ClearTeam Explorer now includes the Show Checkouts action to allow the user to quickly open the Checkouts view. |
PM96863 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge unnecessarily fetches all the active dynamic views on startup, causing delay in performing the merge.
Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge no longer fetches all the active dynamic views on startup which allows the merge operation to commence quickly. |
PM95985 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration will generate an error to the user for view tags or stream names longer than 50 characters for entry into ClearQuest records.
Fix: The ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration truncates view tags and stream names when they are longer than 50 characters. |

PM90878 | Problem: Large multiprocessor build servers running HP-UX 11.31 would experience sporadic system crashes during periods of high activity.
Fix: Locking around the vnode reference count in the IBM Rational ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) was corrected, to prevent race conditions between threads deactivating and reactivating the same file object. |
PM90373 | Problem: When running the IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch" from the command line with multiple replicas given as options, the command will abort if it encounters a failure contacting one of the replicas. It then does not continue processing the command and so does not attempt to access the subsequent replicas.
Fix: The command now continues processing and attempts to access the subsequent replicas. |
PM90370 | Problem: When running IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch -actual replica1 replica2 ...", if replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command should produce an error of the type "unable to retrieve epoch row for remote replica". At this time there is no error or message indicating any issues with replica1 as long at there is connectivity to the remote site and the VOB server host exists.
Fix: If replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command now produces an error. |
PM90121 | Problem: IBM Rational Clearcase on Microsoft Windows 7 may encounter a system hang when performing parallel builds within a dynamic view.

PM88248 | Problem: In the Rational ClearCase integration with Cadence Design Framework II, attempting to apply a label for which the ClearCase label type was not defined would generate an error, rather than creating the label type.
Fix: The integration now properly creates the ClearCase label type correctly in the appropriate VOB(s). |
PM88109 | Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record (e.g. trivial rebase) fail on AIX.
Fix: ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record now succeed on AIX. |
PM87962 | Problem: If Microsoft Security Client is installed on an IBM Rational ClearCase client system, running an executable which was winked in during the build process can cause a Windows STOP error.
Fix: The ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) has been modified to be compatible with Microsoft Security Client. |
PM87538 | Problem: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) may not show the current checkout comments for a checked-out version. Modifications made by CTE to checkout comments through a property sheet are lost when the version is checked in.
Fix: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) has been fixed to correctly display and modify comments on checked-out versions. |
PM85153 | Problem: When applying a label in am IBM Rational ClearCase view, you may find that not all labels are applied or that some elements report errors but the labels have been applied.
Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified so that labels will now be applied properly. |

PM48938 | Problem: When a time out occurs in a communication from ClearCase dynamic view client to the view server, then there might be EIO errors in the system log on the client and performance of the view server process could degrade.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase which leads to degraded performance of the view server process and EIO errors in the system log of the ClearCase dynamic view client machine. |
PM56094 | Problem: Changing the Extended Naming Suffix was not working on 64-bit Windows machines. So, the default suffix (@@) is still in effect.
Fix: Corrects a problem where the Windows system registry key which stores a non-default value for the ClearCase extended naming suffix was redirected on 64-bit Windows systems, so it was invisible to MVFS. The registry key was changed to a nonredirected location. |
PM59537 | Problem: ClearCase and ClearQuest removed the original MSI packages used to install 3rdParty components, upon cleanning up the Windows MSI cache, the packages had problems to perform Installation Manager Operations.
Fix: Updated the ClearCase / ClearQuest to keep a copy of the original MSI packages inside the Install directory in case the machine's MSI cache is cleared, in this situation the MSI system will have the original MSI path and prevent problems on the Installation Manager Operations. |
PM66907 | Problem: mklbtype -acquire -global allows you to acquire a lbtype that is locked The end result is a unlocked global lbtype with a locked local copy
Fix: An inconsistency in the handling of locked label types was fixed; if the client type is locked, it is reported as not acquirable, and the operation continues with other types. |
PM67147 | Problem: When attempting to create a Managed Code "wrapper" for the CCPolicy put_value() method, there seems to be no way to get Visual C++ 2010 to accept the CCPolicy::put_value method.
Fix: The definition of the CCPolicy put_value variable was changed from BSTR* to BSTR, to correct a problem with use of that method with some compilers. |
PM67399 | Problem: ClearCase Automation library crashes when called from Multi-threaded code
Fix: A race condition caused by incorrect locking was fixed in the ClearCase Automation Library. |
PM67792 | Problem: User could not determine how to create a key binding to navigate to the ClearCase Details view.
Fix: Added a section on Accessibility features to the "Developing -> Developing software with Rational ClearTeam Explorer -> Team software development with ClearCase" Help topic and used the case of creating a key binding to navigate to the ClearCase Details window as a specific example. |
PM68052 | Problem: The ClearCase registry may contain files with .new and .old extensions.
Fix: This fix attempts to clean up these .new and .old registry files when the albd_server is starting, by restoring the registry file corresponding to the .new or .old file, and then removing the .old and .new files. |
PM68213 | Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase type manager for text files (text_file_delta) can handle individual lines up to 8000 bytes or characters in length. Normally if a user attempts to check in a text file containing a line over 8000 characters an error will be presented and the checkin will fail. In a case where a text file is checked in containing only 7998 bytes and no newline character the checkin will also fail.
Fix: A problem in an edge case when calculating line length in the text_file_delta type manager has been corrected. |
PM68658 | Problem: ClearCase online help might fail to launch properly after being used once, the system will throw back an error about library relocation.
Fix: Updated the underlying runtime to a version that correctly handles the library relocation. |
PM68896 | Problem: User will see label of type "label_name" already on element error when mklabel recursively if some branch is locked with -nuser while the user is not in the -nuser list.
Fix: A change was made in the transaction handling of certain use cases of cleartool mklabel, to prevent incorrect error messages. |
PM69279 | Problem: Lock manager tables can become corrupt and non-recoverable without manual intervention.
Fix: Certain system-level error conditions can trigger this defect; sanity checking was added in the code to avoid the possible deadlock. |
PM69330 | Problem: In older versions of the IBM Rational ClearCase cleartool man page for protectvob it states, "Execute this command only while a VOB is quiescent (no active users); it stops and restarts the associated vob_server process, which prevents access to storage pools." The man page in version 7.x and 8.x do not clearly state this. Since this is not stated clearly some customer have attempted to run the command on a VOB being accessed and protectvob failures are seen with errors such as: vob_server.exe(2644): Error: Temporarily unavailable, admin process running as pid 65535 Albd(2284): Error: Server vob_server.exe (pid=2644) on "C:\vobs\VOB1.vbs" died on startup; marking it as "down". vobrpc_server.exe(3292): Error: Problem starting vob_server for vob vobserver1.company.com:C:\vobs\VOB1.vbs vobrpc_server.exe(3292): Error: See albd or vob error logs on host vobserver1.company.com
WORKAROUND: Run the protectvob command only on a VOB which is not being accessed at all by any user or process. Fix: The following text has been restored:
|
PM69503 | Problem: After manually selecting one or more file/folder elements in the "ClearTeam Details" tab in the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC)/ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), and then changing the sort criteria, results in the selected elements being different ones from the initial ones.
Fix: In CCRC/CTE, the current selection in the Details view is now maintained when the columns are resorted. |
PM70374 | Problem: Clearmake failures occur when the view_db_crs file grows past 2 GB.
Fix: The maximum size of the view_server's configuration record file was increased from 2Gb to 4Gb. |
PM70385 | Problem: ClearCase 8.0 Information Center does not document IHS 8.0 SSL configuration.
Fix: Documentation pertaining to IHS 8.0 SSL configuration has been updated in the ClearCase Information Center. |
PM70878 | Problem: Cleartool crashes when using ct describe -fmt '%{versions}p' on an activity with a very large changeset
Fix: A segmentation fault in certain use cases of cleartool commands describe and lsactivity has been fixed. |
PM70970 | Problem: ClearCase primary and auxiliary groups not honored correctly on Windows platforms in the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) WAN Server.
Fix: A change was made to to ensure that the environment variables related to the groups specified, are updated earlier in the processing of the command. |
PM70972 | Problem: When specifying groups within ClearTeam Explorer, 770 permissions within a VOB cause permission denied when not owner
Fix: A change was made to ensure that the environment variables related to the groups specified, are updated earlier in the processing of the command. |
PM71714 | Problem: When running an IBM Rational ClearCase server on Microsoft Windows 2008 or 2008 R2, a sporadic port allocation failure may occur.
Fix: Logic was added to correctly interpret winsock errors in certain conditions on Windows 2008 and 2008 R2. |
PM72176 | Problem: Users experience "dead connection" error in ClearQuest when attempting to deliver ClearCase activities in a ClearQuest enabled project, using the ClearTeam Explorer, CTE. This was caused by too many ClearQuest sessions and subsequent database connections being created during CCRC operations involving integration with ClearQuest.
Fix: A change was made to ensure that the ClearQuest sessions do not increase with each operation by correctly including the JSESSIONID in request headers. |
PM72260 | Problem: SQUID tracing does not work through the CCBE.
Fix: A problem with the logging calls used in the server code was corrected. Review technote 1127287: Not a publish complete doc for additional details on correctly enabling tracing. |
PM72918 | Problem: In ClearTeam Explorer, when the selection state of a folders' contents were modified, the resource tree did not correctly update the selection state of the folders.
Fix: Folder nodes in the tree correctly reflect when their contained resources are unselected, partially selected, or fully selected in ClearTeam Explorer. |
PM72979 | Problem: Using the IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) plugin to migrate to Rational Application Developer (RAD) 8.x from Rational Software Architect (RSA) 7.5.x succeeds, but a blocking dialog showing a property error and requiring additional user intervention appears.
Fix: The property is now being fetched when needed resulting in no blocking error dialog. |
PM73326 | Problem: In the ClearTeam Explorer, an RSA model comparison results in an incorrect diff.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer has been corrected to order contributors according to Eclipse ordering, not the standard ClearCase ordering. This results in a correct RSA model diff, but the contributors are now displayed in a different order from ClearCase. |
PM73432 | Problem: When using the ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest Web Integration, and a record is transitioned to the complete state by the integration, the order of operations is incorrect.
Fix: The order of operations has been corrected when the ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest Web Integration does an automatic transition to complete on a record. |
PM73586 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer slows down an Eclipse build of an uncontrolled project on a machine that does not have MVFS installed
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) configuration validation which was adding overhead to certain operations in CTE. |
PM74114 | Problem: RCleartool (a.k.a. ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) CLI) takes more time to complete a load of many directories and files than the ClearTeam Explorer GUI.
Fix: RCleartool has been fixed to have equal or better performance than the ClearTeam Explorer GUI. |
PM74428 | Problem: The Checkouts view in ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) may show files as checked in if they are checked out outside of CTE.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where the Checkouts view in CTE may show files as checked in if they are checked out outside of CTE. |
PM75101 | Problem: In the ClearTeam Explorer, users cannot deliver in a stream context when the stream has web views attached
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearTeam Explorer where users cannot deliver in a stream context when the stream has web views attached |
PM75238 | Problem: The IBM Installation Manager panel was not displaying the correct version for non-English operating systems.
Fix: The code has been updated to have a generic extraction of the correct version on the IBM Installation Manager panel independently of the Operating System language. |
PM75306 | Problem: The Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) is unable to delete a IBM Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE) model fragment during an 'absorb' operation if the fragment has checkouts on any branch.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where The Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) is unable to delete a IBM Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE) model fragment during an 'absorb' operation if the fragment has checkouts on any branch. |
PM75703 | Problem: Creating a stream from CLI or ClearTeam Explorer may result in unexpected errors with VOBs at feature level 7.
Fix: Fixes issues surrounding creation of streams in feature level 7 VOBs. |
PM76372 | Problem: When a user intends to start ClearCase Mainframe Connectors (CCz) rccTSOServer in certain environment where more than one network adapters are configured, sometimes addrinfo list returned from getaddrinfo() has IPV4 address as the first one and IPV6 address as the second one. But if IPV6 network is not configured well, socket creation will fail using IPV6 protocol and exception is thrown. And then rccTSOServer has no opportunity to create socket using IPV4 protocol. So at last rccTSOServer will fail to start.
Fix: When socket creation fails using IPV6 protocol, CCz rccTSOServer does not throw exception any more while we return with an error code and then rccTSOServer can have an opportunity to create socket using IPV4 protocol. |
PM13994 | Problem: In ClearCase running on AIX, when there are a large number of VOBs mounted (e.g., hundreds in some customer cases) and the user is cd'd into a view-extended directory pathname and uses the getwd() call to find the current directory pathname (e.g., the /bin/pwd command), they may experience a long delay (many seconds) before getting the current directory pathname (e.g., seeing the pathname from /bin/pwd).
Fix: Changes were made in both Clearcase MVFS and the AIX kernel to improve the performance of getwd() in a working directory with a view-extended path. Previously, getwd() had to do stat() syscalls on each mounted VOB as part of generating the working directory pathname. Each stat() call might take a fraction of a second (or even a second or more), so with many VOBs the total time could be many seconds, or even minutes. With these changes, the stat() calls are no longer needed and the entire pathname generation is speeded up. The AIX change and the Clearcase change can be installed independently, but the performance improvement won't be seen until both changes are installed. The AIX kernel APARs containing the AIX changes are: IV22023 and IV31361 and |
PM50079 | Problem: When using the shared library libatriagetcwd_interposer.so on Solaris 10 as documented in Technote 1501830: ClearCase on Solaris 10, error "pwd: cannot determine current directory!", some instances of the find or df commands would fail.
Fix: A patch to the Solaris operating system is now available which eliminates the need for the libatriagetcwd_interposer library. This patch is 147440-24 for SPARC systems, or 147441-24 for x86 systems. |
PM52778 | Problem: A performance degradation was observed for many cleartool commands running on HP-UX. This was traced to inefficient handling of a message catalog while loading a shared library.
Fix: HP-UX patch PHCO_42265 and any of its successors include a change to the strerror(3C) function to improve performance. This patch is recommended for all ClearCase installations on HP-UX 11.31. |
PM62982 | Problem: crmregister generates core when connection file is 0 byte
Fix: Fixed the handling of some edge cases of the connection configuration file for crmregister. |
PM64312 | Problem: A Linux user who mounts a disk or partition and attempts to access a file in that partition using view-extened pathnames might be unable to unmount that disk or partition.
Fix: A problem with incorrect use counts on dentries in certain kernel versions was corrected. |
PM70152 | Problem: A ClearCase user on Linux could encounter Linux kernel panics in the kmem_ptr_validate kernel function.
Fix: There is a problem in some versions of the Linux kernel function d_validate; a change was made to ClearCase to eliminate use of this function. |
PM71119 | Problem: Unless setgroup-swap is called either from the directory where it resides or with the full path to the utility, it returns 'Error with stat() call on file setgroup-swap'.
Fix: The logic for checking for suid permission was corrected, allowing the setgroup-swap utility to be started from any directory. |
PM72354 | Problem: When you use a cleartool find command in an IBM Rational ClearCase snapshot view where there is a cross-VOB symbolic link, which points to a target element in another VOB, certain variations of the find command produce the following error: cleartool: Error: Not a vob object.
Fix: A problem which caused an invalid oid to be returned for a symbolic link in a ClearCase snapshot view has been corrected. |
PM76801 | Problem: ClearCase Mainframe Connectors (CCz) RccTSOServer mode 2 authentication fails with LDAP on Redhat Linux.
Fix: Added LDAP authentication support in RccTSOServer for Mainframe Connectors on Redhat Linux. |

APAR | Description |
PM23142 | Problem: The cleartool 'ls' command will occasionally report an error, "cleartool: Error: Trouble reading directory", when issued within a directory under the control of the ClearCase MVFS.
Fix: ClearCase's caching and synchronization logic was modified to more quickly detect and adapt to remote changes of directory versions. |
PM34445 | Problem: db_server unnecessarily calls sysutl_nfs_flush twice for each read transaction
Fix: A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4 |
PM41812 | Problem: Windows VOB servers may time out attempting to lock the vista.taf file.
Fix: Allow the ability to modify the delays between lock attempts, and the number of attempts before aborting the lock attempt. |
PM49234 | Problem: Under consistent heavy load on a given ClearCase dynamic view client, "xid mismatch" errors are encountered in MVFS and is logged accordingly in mvfs_log.
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase and resolves the "xid mismatch" error. |
PM52249 | Problem: xclearcase on UNIX fails to merge elements with merge type set to 'copy'
Fix: xclearcase correctly supports to merge element with element type's merge type set to 'copy'. |
PM52447 | Problem: In UCM if the user has created baselines on a stream and rebases to a composite baseline which is the original foundation baseline of the stream or in other words at the '0'th index of the timeline for that component , then lsbl -component will not display the baseline created by stream on the master site and will give INTERNAL ERROR on the other replica sites.
Fix: The lsbl -component display now shows the UCM baseline properly at the replica sites. |
PM52732 | Problem: Modifying the mvfs_ctxt_atime_refresh within mvfs_tunables.c and rebuilding the MVFS will not change the value.
Fix: Fix a problem with the tunable parameter mvfs_ctxt_atime_refresh being always the default value instead of the value set. |
PM55266 | Problem: ClearCase upgrades overwrote the exports.mvfs file during the upgrade process, removing customizations.
Fix: ClearCase now correctly preserves custom exports.mvfs files across upgrades. |
PM55490 | Problem: customer may have VOB access issue at the time when an element with a large number of branches and/or versions.
Fix: a clear warning message with good info is provided and customer is encouraged to manually remove some branches/versions before finally destroying the element to avoid VOB access issue. |
PM59550 | Problem: /etc/init.d/clearcase fails to stop or start ClearCase service within Solaris Non-global zone of server-only installation.
Fix: /etc/init.d/clearcase correctly start and stop ClearCase services within Solaris non-global zone of server-only installation. |
PM60069 | Problem: crmregister -gui option does not work with the -url option when user credentials are not specified on the command line.
Fix: crmregister correctly supports the prompting for user credentials when -url and -gui options are used together. |
PM60259 | Problem: Wildcard registry lookups don't scale for registries with a large number of objects
Fix: A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4 |
PM60302 | Problem: Occasionally, system facilities such as the 'pwd' command and the 'getcwd' function and its equivalents will fail when executed from within a newly created directory under control of the ClearCase MVFS.
Fix: The ClearCase MVFS's cache and synchronization logic has been corrected to prevent the caching of invalid directory entry information during periods of heavy load. |
PM60644 | Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase's makefile based build utility Clearmake, it throws "clearmake: Error: Unable to place marker in MVFS audit - Invalid argument" error for the recursive builds where parent make is invoked with .NO_CONFIG_REC target and there is no fresh build happening in the child make. This behaviour is seen in ClearCase 7.1.2.7 or 8.0.0.3 or prior versions.
Fix: After the fix, for the recursive make builds where parent build audit is not getting audited and there is no fresh build happening in the child make, the error "clearmake: Error: Unable to place marker in MVFS audit - Invalid argument" will not be thrown. |
PM60858 | Problem: ClearCase Project Explorer crashes when obtaining Policies of a CQ-enabled UCM project with certain schemas.
Fix: Resolves an issue in the UCM ClearCase integration with ClearQuest where certain UCM schemas would cause the ClearCase Project Explorer to crash when obtaining CQ Policies. |
PM62396 | Problem: When running in an interactive cleartool shell, after executing a cleartool command that modifies ClearCase environment variables, and then executing a shell command (!), there are some ClearCase environment variables that remain set in the new shell environment, which may affect future Cleartool commands.
Fix: When executing a shell command (!) while in an interactive cleartool command, the ClearCase environment variables are cleared. |
PM62894 | Problem: ClearCase operations such as checkout of UTF8 type files fails with CCRC WAN Server crash.
Fix: UTF8 type files are now checked out successfully without a CCRC WAN Server crash |
PM63804 | Problem: Lock obsolete a foundation baseline of a child stream results in all baselines on that stream not being displayed in the base. If a component baseline that happens to be also a foundation baseline of a stream is locked-obsolete, then the component tree browser with the "Show obsolete baselines" tick-box unset, hides not only that baseline, but also and incorrectly *all* the baselines of the stream of which the just locked-obsoleted baseline is the foundation baseline.
Fix: The fix ensures that If you have an obsolete baseline which is the foundation baseline for other stream, after unselecting the option for "Show obsolete baselines", the display should only hide the obsolete baseline and not any other nodes (other streams and non-obsolete baselines). If any node is made invisible, the connection line is drawn between its adjacent visible nodes. |
PM64202 | Problem: In a very specific scenario, multiple requests to db_server process will make lockmgr keeping incorrect signal handler for SIGALRM. Then db_server will core dump after receiving SIGALRM.
Fix: db_server no longer core dumps after receiving SIGALRM. |
PM64329 | Problem: A large number of such failed CCRC login attempts in a short period of time may cause CCRC WAN Server to reach the ccrcMaxSessionsOverall limit (200 by default), preventing other legitimate users from logging in.
Fix: Failed logins are no longer counted against the max sessions overall limit, which keeps the server sessions free for normal use. |
PM64431 | Problem: CCz takes some of Chinese characters in comments as invalid.
Fix: A fix is available in 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4. |
PM64899 | Problem: Some operations with webviews in IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer 8.0 may be slower than IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC). Examples include mkelem and checkin.
Fix: A fix for the performance issue is available in Rational ClearCase release 8.0.0.4. |
PM65457 | Problem: SUMMARY: Documentation of how the CLEARCASE_MKELEM_USE_GRPLIST environment variable functions, common code, for two different commands is different. Specifically, the documentation for under the 'mkdir' command is simply wrong and should duplicate the correct information as documented under the 'mkelem' command.
Fix: Fixed as directed. |
PM65546 | Problem: ClearCase Remote Client RCP does not exist on Solaris x86 but Installation Manager attempts to to install it. Only the CCRC Eclipse plugin is supported on Solaris x86.
Fix: Corrected the situation so that CCRC RCP is only allowed to be install on the supported platforms. |
PM65573 | Problem: UCM GUIs (such as clearprojexp.exe) issue multiply redundant identical RPCs to the db_server, thus reducing overall performance.
Fix: The number of RPCs sent from the client to the server has been reduced due to a more intelligent caching scheme as well as a rework of some of the RPCs used in retrieving information about ClearCase objects. |
PM65832 | Problem: Login to CCRC WAN server (Rational ClearCase v 8) fails with the following error when the name of the host where CCRC WAN server is installed starts with the characters "ccrc" (e.g. ccrc-test or ccrctest). CRMAP7009: CCRC command "Login" failed: Error:"Malformed server response. The server at "http://ccrc" is not a correctly configured ClearCase Web Server."
Fix: The CCRC client code has been modified to correctly handle CCRC WAN Server URLs which have the characters "ccrc" in their host name |
PM65979 | Problem: When a new file element is added to a VOB using the command line(cleartool mklem) that was first added as view private file using IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) most of the file element context menu options such as checkout etc are greyed out in the right click menu even after refresh(from context menu) is done on the file element. After CTE is restarted the menu options are available in the right click context menu.
Fix: The IBM Rational Clear Team Explorer code has been modified to re-fetch the relevant property of the file element when the user selects the refresh option from the right click context menu options |
PM65981 | Problem: In the reference page for the rmstgloc command, the "Description" section of page contradicts information in the "Restrictions" section.
Fix: The Description section of rmstgloc has been updated as follows: " ... Once a storage location is unregistered, you cannot create views or VOBs using mkview –stgloc or mkvob –stgloc. However, you can create views and VOBs at that storage location using the –host, –hpath and –gpath options. ... " The Restrictions section has been updated to note that there are no restrictions. |
PM66323 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer performs poorly when using large model projects
Fix: Fixes a performance problem in the ClearTeam Explorer that hindered logical model usage. |
PM66577 | Problem: Directory merge not working in CTE
Fix: Fixes a problem with ClearCase where CTE fails to automatically merge the project directory following a Logical Model Merge. |
PM66596 | Problem: Closing the Logical Model Merge Editor via the 'Close' or 'X' button, will lose the merge result
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where closing the Logical Model Merge Editor via the "Close" or "X" button will lose the merge result. |
PM66764 | Problem: User can log into ClearCase CM Server on Linux with expired DES-encrypted password
Fix: ClearCase CM Server will check password expiration on Linux. |
PM66796 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer versoin tree truncates the label name by default, thus not allowing a user to see the full name. This is problematic when the most significant characters are at the end of the string.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer provides a button that allows a user to toggle between truncated names and full names. The last state of the button is persisted for the workspace or until changed. |
PM66857 | Problem: In the reference page for the clearfsimport command, the descriptions of the -filter and -mklabel options are incorrect.
Fix: The descriptions have been updated as follows: |
PM66878 | Problem: Remotely added model elements become view private after merge in target view
Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where remotely added model elements become view private in the target view after Logical Model Merge. |
PM66879 | Problem: When model aware checkouts are enabled in the ClearTeam Explorer, the checkout dialog opens with all elements participating in the logical resource selected for checkout. Customer requires that only those elements selected by the user are selected by default.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer provides a new preference that enables the checkout dialog to open with all logical resource elements selected or only those logical resource elements selected by the user. |
PM66880 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer version tree does not allow the ability to sort labels in the order in which they were applied with the most recent displayed first.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer version tree provides a button that allows a user to toggle between label names sorted alphanumerically and label names sorted by the time they were applied (most recent first). The last state of the button is persisted for the workspace or until changed. |
PM67191 | Problem: Aggregated checkin not showing dialog with checked-out files in views with checkouts in non-mounted VOBs.
Fix: The server no longer returns checkouts in umounted VOBs to clients, which allows the dialog to display without issue. |
PM67670 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer does not provide any means to copy a label name as text from the Version Tree.
Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer now provides the user the ability to select a label name from the version tree, right click and copy the label's name. |
PM67890 | Problem: CTE should show model checkouts in a model-friendly way and allow navigation from a checked out file to them model element in the Project Explorer.
Fix: Support for this feature available in Rational ClearTeam Explorer v 8.0.0.4. |
PM67970 | Problem: The install code for Rational ClearCase was not detecting correctly the solaris x86 platform. Thus the file delayed_export was not created
Fix: Corrected the checking for solaris x86 systems, the file is now correctly installed. |
PM68273 | Problem: AIX ClearCase WAN Server mishandles cached credentials when authenticating with LAM on AIX
Fix: This AIX authentication problem has been fixed. |
PM68415 | Problem: Refactoring not working in the Modelling perspective
Fix: Fixes a problem in CTE where refactoring was not working in the Modelling perspective because the Checkout dialog was inaccessible. |
PM68416 | Problem: Resource->Refresh does not work for logical resources in the Details view
Fix: Fixes a problem in CTE where Resource->Refresh in the Details view does not work for logical resources |
PM68431 | Problem: Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer does not show the size of both controlled and view private file elements in the ClearTeam details view in the size column
Fix: The Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer code has been modified to correctly display the size of controlled and view private file elements in the ClearTeam Details view |
PM68514 | Problem: Performing a WorkOn action on a ClearQuest Record from a ClearQuest Eclipse client on Solaris results in an error and the action is not completed.
Fix: Fixes a problem on Solaris where performing a WorkOn action on a ClearQuest Record from a ClearQuest Eclipse client would result in an error. |
PM69506 | Problem: GSkit V8 links are broken when installing ClearQuest or ClearCase on Linux x86 after doing the following: (1) Install the latest version of GSkit V8, (2) Install ClearCase or ClearQuest and (3) Configure SSL with LDAP for CQWeb. Trying to access CQWeb using valid LDAP credentials will fail due to the broken links.
Fix: The GSkit V8 links are now integrated correctly in the Linux x86 ClearCase and ClearQuest Install Manager. LDAP CQWeb users will no longer see failures. |
PM70037 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer throws a NullPointerException during decoration.
Fix: Fixed a ClearTeam Explorer problem that can result in a NullPointerException during decoration |
PM70472 | Problem: Non-global zone installations of ClearCase with MVFS installed prevent global zone from being upgraded
Fix: Starting updates from 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4 IBM Rational ClearCase on Global Zones where IBM Rational ClearCase is Also installed in the non-global zones will succeed since the verification of the scenario has been changed to support it. |
PM70580 | Problem: When a rebase backward/sideways is done for a rootless component it causes the removal of a Foundation hyperlink. The Foundation hyperlink is always FROM a baseline TO the "timeline". There is a reference to the hyperlink in the "Activity timeline" string of the timeline object, which gets removed when the timeline gets removed. However, when the baseline and the timeline exist in different UCM project VOBs, then while an oplog entry is generated for both project VOBs, the processing to remove the entry from the "Activity timeline" string of the timeline object does not occur when the oplog entries are replayed. Fix: After the fix when a rebase backward/sideways is done , the existing Foundation hyperlink is not deleted. |
PM71611 | Problem: When using dynamic views, the ClearTeam Explorer intermittently performs UI blocking operations in the IDE workspace, that causes the user to wait.
Fix: Addresses an optimization issue in the ClearTeam Explorer and enables better performance when interacting with ClearCase. |
PM71680 | Problem: ClearCase MultiSite syncreplica imports fail between VOB servers running ClearCase 7.1.2.x and ClearCase 8.0.0.x for replicas in a Feature Level 6 VOB family, because of packet header mismatch in ClearCase 8.0.0.x.
Fix: This change restores the ability to correctly generate and read syncreplica packets in Feature Level 6 replicas in ClearCase 8.0.0.x. |
PM71693 | Problem: The ClearTeam Explorer display contributors in the incorrect order why using Model compare
Fix: Fixes an issue in the ClearTeam Explorer where compare contributors are not displayed in the correct order when using Model compare. |

PM29587 | Investigates a reference count issue between MVFS mnode and NFS vnode that causes a panic on release of an mnode with a bad vnode reference. The original issue was a refcnt problem, but it is no longer reproducible. |
PM37382 | Fixes a Rational Common Licensing documentation issue where Linux System z/OS was omitted from a list of unsupported platforms. |
PM42012 | Addresses a ClearCase issue on Solaris platforms where, in the Solaris 8 Branded Zones environment, a setview operation on a newly created dynamic view fails with the error "cleartool: Error: Couldn't set view tag |
PM42270 | Addresses a ClearCase UCM issue on UNIX and Windows platforms where a "chbl" command or a "mkbl" command fails to report the reason when incremental labeling fails. |
PM44290 | Investigates a ClearCase MVFS performance issue on Windows 7 platforms where users may experience performance degradation when running an executable in a dynamic view. This behavior is particularly noticeable in a directory that contains thousands of cross-VOB symbolic links. The performance may further decrease if the user’s config spec for the view limits the number of links that are visible. However, this processing overhead can be eliminated by using the group policy editor, gpedit.msc, to disable the Windows Application Compatibility Engine. |
PM45246 | Fixes a ClearCase UCM problem where creating a new composite component using the Baseline Dependency Editor can result in new baselines in the rooted components it depends on which do not capture the change sets of earlier baselines in the stream. |
PM50735 | Investigates a ClearCase MVFS issue on RedHat Linux platforms where compiling in a dynamic view that is navigated to by using the view-extended name produces a failed stat() system call with an EOVERFLOW error. The problem is not seen while set into view. The problem is due to an older compiler and does not occur with more current compilers. |
PM51187 | Fixes a ClearCase UCM problem where the "cleartool rmbl" command incorrectly allows the deletion of a baseline that is member of a composite baseline. |
PM52252 | Fixes a ClearTeam Explorer problem on Linux platforms where the Version Tree incorrectly invokes manual merges for elements with a merge-type of 'copy'. |
PM53709 | Fixes a problem in the ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition where the logical model merge tool does not display when performing an operation that requires a merge from source view to target view if the model that is present in the UML perspective is not that of the target view. In this case, the merges proceed as if they were trivial and the models become potentially corrupt. |
PM54068 | Fixes a ClearTeam Explorer problem on HP-UX 11.31/IA64 platforms where piping a 'cleartool ls -recurse -view_only' command to 'xargs rm-rf' produces a segmentation fault error in fileutl_make_abs_pn. |

PM55177 | Addresses a ClearCase issue on Solaris platforms where attempting to exceed the limit of 16 groups that may be added to a VOB group list produces an error message that incorrectly states that more groups may be added. The "cleartool protectvob -add_group" message has been corrected so that it accurately indicates how many groups may still be added to a VOB group list. |
PM55178 | Fixes a ClearCase issue in the Unicode type manager for cleartool file types 'utf16le_file' and 'utf16be_file'. Without this fix, every create version operation for these types appends an extra BOM character, these files are not added to source control during a mkelem operation, and the contents of these files change when the files are checked in. |
PM55212 | Fixes a ClearTeam Explorer problem where loading a view produces the following error message in the ClearCase error log: "ClearCase CM Server: Error: Unable to commit item" even though the view loads as expected. The error message for failed commits now writes to the ClearCase error log only if trace is enabled to level 1. Failed commit issues are resolved transparently by the ClearTeam Explorer. |

PM57276 | Resolves a ClearCase MultiSite issue where attempting to perform an 'Add to Source Control' operation fails silently if the user is trying to create the element in a replicated VOB. |
PM57508 | Fixes a ClearCase problem with the CCRC WAN Server where the MBEAN for ClearCase Primary Group was not honored. In the absence of a client setting for ClearCase primary group, the value of this MBEAN is used for all CCRC users accessing this server. A client setting takes precedence over this MBEAN value. |

PM58408 | Fixes a ClearCase MVFS problem on HP_UX platforms where a memory leak causes builds to eventually fail. |
RATLC01337421 | Corrects a defect in ClearCase where running a "cleartool lstype" command produces an error and terminates the listing if the command is run in a VOB with an AdminVOB hyperlink when the AdminVOB is unavailable or run in a MultiSite environment where the AdminVOB is out of sync with the child VOB. This fix changes the behavior so that if an error occurs due to the AdminVOB, the command now lists all of the local type information. |
RATLC01341539 | Addresses an issue in the ClearTeam Explorer where the default process of creating a dynamic view cannot be completed unless the user modifies the config spec. |
