Error description
Error message when exceeding the 16 group limit on Solaris for cleartool protectvob incorrectly lists available groups free ClearCase 7.x Solaris VOB Servers To Reproduce: 1) Make a temporary VOB admin account with 16 groups 2) Login with the newly created VOB admin account 3) Make a new VOB 4) Try and add one more additional group to the VOB and the following is seen: cleartool protectvob -add_group overlimit /ccstg/vobs/test.vbs This command affects the protection on your versioned object base. While this command is running, access to the VOB will be limited. If you have remote pools, you will have to run this command remotely. cleartool: Error: VOB /ccstg/vobs/test.vbs already has 16 supplementary groups; only 16 more can be added. cleartool: Error: Trouble protecting versioned object base '/ccstg/vobs/test.vbs '. As you can see above, the error message incorrectly states that ?only 16 more can be added? when in fact no other groups can be added. Workaround: None
