APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In certain circumstances operations accessing UCM baselines may
  fail with the error messages (Windows example):
  
  INTERNAL ERROR detected and logged with the NT Event Service.
  
  See the Event Viewer for the error message.
  Internal Error detected in '\atria\lib\vob\hlink.c' line 837
  Invalid input arguments to 'hlink_hlinkh_get_one_obj'.
  
  These operation include but maybe not limited to:
  Opening Component Tree Browser (Browse Baselines)
  'cleartool diffbl'
  Rebase
  Deliver
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  In a MultiSite replicated UCM environment, create a stream with
  its foundation on a composite basline
   -  in a component 'C' with no root directory.
  Rebase again to override one of the member baselines of the
  foundation.
  Make a new baseline in the stream.
  Rebase to a newer baseline of component 'C'
  Rebase back onto the baseline originally used as foundation of
  the stream,
      using member overrides as necessary to allow the rebase to
  proceed.
  Syncreplica to bring another replica site up to date.
  At this replica site open 'Proprties of Stream' from Project
  Explorer,
   and click on the 'Baselines' tab. the error should appear.
  
  Also opening Component Tree Browser for component 'C' at the
  sibling site shall give the error.
  
  Opening Component Tree Browser for component 'C' at the stream
  mastering site shall NOT give the error,
   but the baseline created above shall not be shown.
  
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  None

  ****************************************************************
  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.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4
