Error description

• When you are trying to create a Rational ClearCase automatic
  view, you may receive the following error when you have an
  umlaut in your password:
  
  Status code: 20021; status message: <?xml version="1.0"
  encoding="UTF-8"?><MkView
  version="1"><view-uuid>uuid</view-uuid><server-tag>view_tag</ser
  ver-tag><text-mode>transparent</text-mode><view-type>base</view-
  type><cltxt-cache-dir>C:\Users\name\.ccase_automatic_cltxt_stg</
  cltxt-cache-dir><preserve-vob-modified-time>false</preserve-vob-
  modified-time><server
  online="true"><server-url>http://x.x.x.x:16080</server-url><user
  name>name</username><password>password</password></server></MkVi
  ew>
  
  To workaround the issue, remove the umlaut from the password.
