Create and startview errors: Cannot start dynamic view and Unable to create directory

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains how to resolve errors, Unable to create directory, and, Cannot start dynamic view, that can occur when trying to create or start an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view.

Symptom


Attempting to start or create views on a remote server fails with "Unable to create directory"

Creating a view may result in an error such as the following:

---
Error creating view -- '<view>'                    
                                                 
Created view.                                      
Host-local path: <path>                            
Global path: <path>                                
Unable to create directory "<view>": -1781401617  
---

Starting a view may result in:

---
Cannot start dynamic view <view>                
Unable to create directory "<view>": -204147855
---

Creating and starting local views on the clients succeed, as does creating or starting directly on the remote view-server.
