This technote identifies a defect and provides a workaround for the clearexport_ssafe and clearimport commands that fail to import Microsoft® Visual SourceSafe version []6.0d[] files into an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® VOB.
Attempts to import Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 6.0d files using clearexport_ssafe and clearimport results in the following error:
clearimport: Error: Trouble invoking extract command.
clearimport: Error: Trouble invoking "ssafeget "$//Test/Project Workbook/Log/June 27.doc"
"d:\temp\system\tmp02776\June 27.doc""
Running ss get manually returns the following:
D:\Temp>ss get -I- -O- -W -GF- -V1 "$//Test/Project Workbook/Log/June 27.doc" 1 "June 27.doc"
Project $3 Utilities has been destroyed, and cannot be rebuilt.
Continue anyway?(Y/N)N
Note: This behavior does not occur with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version 6.0c or its predecessor versions.
