PH34674: REFORMATTING A SCHEMA 54 PVOB USING CLEARCASE 9.1.0 CRASHES DURING THE DUMP PHASE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When migrating to IBM ClearCase 9.1.0, reformatting schema 54
  PVOBs created on earlier releases will fail with the following
  message:
  0 derived objects dumped.
  db_dumper.exe: Error: Internal error in
  "\atria\lib\db\db__dump.c" line 476
  db_dumper.exe: Error: INTERNAL ERROR detected and logged with
  the NT Event Service.
  See the Event Viewer for the error message.
  db_dumper.exe: Error: ***ABORT*** '\atria\lib\db\db__err.c':358
  
  The issue appears to be caused by a difference in a UCM data
  structure interpretation between 9.0.x and 9.1.0. This issue is
  specific to UCM project VOBs that successfully reformat on
  earlier releases. UCM component VOBs and non-UCM VOBs are not
  impacted by this issue.
  

Local fix

• If migrating from an earlier 8.0.x or 9.0.x release, reformat
  the PVOB to schema 80 before attempting to use the VOB on 9.1.0
  as this impacts **ONLY** schema 54 VOBs.
  
  If migrating from a a release that does not support VOB schema
  80 (7.x and before), treat the issue as a move between different
  processor architectures:
  - Dump the VOB using cleartool reformatvob -dump on the older
  system.
  - Migrate the VOB to the new server or upgrade the server host
  to 9.1.x
  - Load the VOB using cleartool reformatVOB -load.
