APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are not prevented from performing an mklabel operation in
  the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence Integration when the label
  type does not exist.
  
  You will see an error similar to:
  
  ct mklabel -recurse FOO1 .
  cleartool: Error: label type 'FOO1' not found in VOB '\test' and
  no global type definition can be found.
  cleartool: Error: Unable to create label 'FOO1' on '.' version
  '\main\1'.
  cleartool: Error: Unable to create label 'FOO1' on '.\dir1'
  version '\main\1'.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Confirm that the label type exists in the vob by running the
  cleartool lstype lbtype:label_name:
  
  M:\vu2\test?ct lstype lbtype:FOO1
  cleartool: Error: Label type not found: 'FOO1'.
  
  
  Create the label type first using the cleartool mklbtype command
  
  M:\vu2\test?ct mklbtype -nc FOO1
  Created label type 'FOO1'.

  ****************************************************************
  In the Rational ClearCase integration with Cadence Design
  Framework II, attempting to apply a label for which the
  ClearCase label type was not defined would generate an
  error, rather than creating the label type in the
  appropriate VOB(s).
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem is fixed in ClearCase 8.0.0.9 and 8.0.1.2.
