I am writing an automation for promoting the Harvest packages using Java code.
By Ezhilan Mahalingam - July 1, 20132 Answers

I am using the JHSDK jar available in ths installation directory of CA to write a java program for an automation project.

 

I am using the below Java code to select the packages from ACEDEV13.06.00.00 from SW Development view and promoting it to next stage 'Integration Test(AIT)'.

 

Java Code:

 

JCaContext context = harvest.getContext();

boolean approve = context.setApprove("Approve"); //Exception @ this line is E0309000d: ERROR: Could not get Process.

boolean promote = context.setPromote("Promote");

 

//Setting the Approval

CaApprove jcaApprove = context.getApprove();

jcaApprove.setApprove(true);

jcaApprove.setDescription("Approved Desc");

jcaApprove.execute();

 

//Setting the Promote

JCaPromote jcaPromoteObj =  context.getPromote();

System.out.println(" getToStateName "+jcaPromoteObj.getToStateName());

System.out.println(" getToStateObjId "+jcaPromoteObj.getToStateObjId());

 

jcaPromoteObj.execute();

 

 

Exception I get :

com.ca.harvest.jhsdk.hutils.JCaHarvestException: E03090027: ERROR: Could not get Approve Process from Context.

com.ca.harvest.jhsdk.hutils.JCaHarvestException: E03090010: ERROR: Could not get Promote Process from Context.

 

Do I need to set any mode to context or harvest object to make the Promote process to work. Kindly help me with this.

Why is it taking ClearCase mklabel over 3 hours to attach a label to a baseline containing 4,000 files?
By Sofia Otts - June 26, 20131 Answer

While observing a development team currently using ClearCase 8.0 prepare for their build it took 3 hours to attach the build label to the baseline.  What could be causing this this process to take this amount of time?  I currently support a development team that has several VOBs that control 3 or 4K and it takes no more that 10 or 15 minutes. 

Any suggestions as to the problem and how to fix?

VOB file elements are corrupting with "bad character" and "text_file_delta" Errors.
By Sebastian Specialist CM - May 22, 20133 Answers

Hello,

Our VOB is of size size 52GB, 10years old, mounted on Solaris OS and using by 400 Users. From the past One Year, we observed that VOB elements are keep on corrupting with "^D" or "text_file_delta" error. We are unable to do diff with predecessor version, not able to make Builds because of corrupted files. Even we are unable to count Source Lines of Code also. I forgot to mention that, we are using ClearCase ver.6.0.

Last 8 months back, we raised a PMR, IBM resolved some file elements using "checkvob" and by remotely accessing they used some IBM scripts to solve the issue. Finally, by the end of March. We and IBM Technical Support Engineers resolved all corrupted file elements issue. Recently, we observed that 2 (two) of the files got corrupted again and VOB is not in Sync with two of our replicas. Problem started again.

Please let me know, why VOB file elements corrupts often? Is it because of, if any user uses some third party tools for his Coding/Development in VOB? We CMs follow strict polocies, some of the file elements are not even loading into VOB (Snapshot views), saying "size got exceeded". This became a big mess for us. Now, Developers are making Builds by hijacking the files. We know that, this is not a Good Practise. Please someone of you can help us in this regard. PFA, VOB Errors. Thanks in advance!

Best Regards/Sebastian
