Error description

• IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer will start a deliver when one of
  the activities to be delivered contains a checked out version
  even though the 'Do not allow deliver to proceed with checkouts
  in the selected activities' policy is enabled at the project
  level.  This occurs when one activity is dependent on a second
  activity, the second activity contains a checkout, the two
  activities were created by different users, and the deliver is
  performed via Web Views.
  
  The behavior is reproducible in ClearCase 8.0.0.11 and ClearCase
  8.0.1.4.
  
  To reproduce:
  1. Create a ClearQuest enabled project with two streams: an
  integration stream and a child stream
  
  2. Enable the 'Do not allow deliver to proceed with checkouts in
  the selected activities' policy (POLICY_DELIVER_NCO_SELACT)
  
  3. Configure the cq-db-mapfile.conf on the CCRC WAN Server so
  that CTE users working in web views can work in that project
  
  4. UserOne and UserTwo both work in the child stream, but use
  differnt CTE Web views
  
  5. UserOne has an undelivered actviity, SAMPL0000010, with two
  change set versions
     a. foo.txt@@/main/integration/child/2
     b. hello.java@@/main/integration/child/CHECKEDOUT (from
  /main/integration/child/1)
  
  5. UserTwo has an undelivered activity, SAMPL0000020, with one
  change set version:
     a. foo.txt@@/main/integration/child/3
     Note: Thus SAMPL0000020 is version dependent on SAMPL0000010,
  and SAMPL0000010
  
  must be delivered with SAMPL0000020
  
  6. UserTwo delivers by selecting Deliver > Default in CTE
     a. Both SAMPL0000020 and SAMPL0000010 will be selected to be
  delivered
     b. > cleartool deliver -status -stream
  stream:ChildStream@ProjectVOB will show a deliver in progress
  
  7. If UserTwo chooses to complete the deliver, the deliver will
  skip over the checked out work (hello.java), merge the other
  work (foo.txt) and complete
  Note: If the ClearQuest policy 'Transition to Complete Upon
  Delivery' is also enabled, then UserTwo will not be able to
  complete the deliver; CTE will not be able to unset SAMPL0000010
  from its view because it contains checkouts.
  

Local fix

• 1. Select Default > Advanced when multiple users work in the
  same stream via CTE Web views
     a. CTE will list SAMPL0000010 among the activities that must
  be delivered, but will not permit its deliver because it
  contains checkouts.
     b. > cleartool deliver -status -stream
  stream:Child@ProjectVOB shows no delivery in progress
  
  2. ClearCase native client, using dynamic views, will not permit
  the deliver to start either
  
  3. Have UserOne resolve the checkout by canceling it or by
  checking in the work before UserTwo starts the deliver
  
  4. Avoid having multiple users work in the same stream.  If
  UserTwo had created both activities and tried to deliver in CTE
  via Deliver > Default, UserTwo would be prompted to checkin in
  the checked out work.  If UserTwo does not checkin the work, the
  deliver will not start.
