APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The setgroup-swap utility allows IBM Rational ClearCase users on
  UNIX or Linux who are a member of more than 16 groups to use
  ClearCase commands. The utility is documented in technote
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21207807. In
  ClearCase versions 7.1.1.7, 7.1.2.4 and 8.0.0.x a defect was
  introduced that causes a stat() call to fail unless
  setgroup-swap is called either from the directory where it
  resides or with the full path to the utility.
  
  vobadm@SUSE1164B:/? which setgroup-swap
  /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/utils/setgroup-swap
  vobadm@SUSE1164B:/? setgroup-swap
  usage: setgroup-swap ?program-to-run? (set CLEARCASE_GROUPS EV
  to reorganize   groups and CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP to change the
  primary group   of the user)
  vobadm@SUSE1164B:/? setgroup-swap cleartool lsview
  Error with stat() call on file setgroup-swap
  vobadm@SUSE1164B:/?
  /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/utils/setgroup-swap cleartool lsview
    adm1                 /net/SUSE1164B/viewstore/vobadm/adm1.vws
  
  
  Steps to reproduce: Run setgroup-swap ?cleartool cmd? on an
  affected ClearCase release from a directory where the utility
  does not reside.
  
  Workaround: Invoke setgroup-swap with the full path. For
  example, '/opt/rational/clearcase/etc/utils/setgroup-swap
  ?cleartool command?'.
