Hello,

When I am trying to checkout any file from my View(dynamic),  then machine restarts (windows reboots).

This is really irritating me.

The view storage directory is stored on the local machine. These views were in use for more than a year or so.

ClearCase installed on it.

Details:

ClearCase 7.0.1.0

Microsoft XP SP3

Symantec AntiVirus 11.0.6200.754

 

Thanks in advance,

 

BR,

Open Source Change Management tools?
By Terrica Neal - April 16, 20132 Answers

Hi,

Are there any open source tools that we can use for a small, agile team to track change requests for documentation and baseline item changes?  We don't need it to manage software, just documentation and any other baseline item changes. 

Thanks in advance,

ClearCase: Is view information stored in VOB?
By Jirong Hu - April 10, 20131 Answer

Hi All

I am migrating VOBs from a v7 ClearCase server to a newly installed v8 server. There are many old views in the old v7 server we don't want to use (people left etc). After I copy the VOB storages over, re-register, what will happen to the views if I don't copy the view storages over? We want developers can re-create new views, may use the old names.

My concern is if we don't remove all views from the old v7 server before migration, will there be any view information stored inside the VOBs? Our v7 and v8 are totally separate servers (registry, license, VOB, etc). There should be no view information registered in the new v8 at all. So the question is: for a view, beside the registry, is there any reference inside a VOB?

Thanks

Checkins wrt right Bug going onto LIVE
By Kapila Narang - April 10, 20131 Answer

Hello Experts,

  Wanted to understand a situtation: My developers checkins code (majorly) into any bug they feel like & mention bug number which they have fixed in CR. I want to bring in  strict process of checkin code in bug which they want to send in CR. Is this something unexpected i am asking  or difficult or become bottleneck to my developers? Any best practices shared?

Below is my scenrios-

Case 1 - CR has 1 master bug  having 5 child bugs, Commited code in some other X bug which is no where linked in these bugs.

Case 2- CR has 1 master bug having 5 child bugs, sending only 3 child bugs  at last minute call but need to send half commited files in  other 4th Child bug.

Usually we create CR once coding is done & needs to send for Testing but bug is created beforehand. CR is majorly become for  documentation /release tracking.

CruiseControl doesnt catch deployment errors
By New Name - March 21, 20131 Answer

Hello All, 

We call deploy scripts(cmd files) through our own make xml files from cruisecontrol. In the deploy CMD files there is error level return explicitly mentioned. But still cruise control does not catch the errors. Logs show it as failed but reports sucessfull. Below is how we call deploy scripts. 

1. from cruisecontrol config.xml we call our own xml file like below

<schedule  >

 <ant anthome="C:\bea103\modules\org.apache.ant_1.6.5" 

buildfile="V:\xxx\xxx\xxxx\mybuild.xml"

time="0330"

/>        

</schedule>

2. and that mybuild.xml content is as below 

<target name="xxxx">

       <exec dir="V:\xxx\xxx\xxx" executable="cmd.exe" output="checkETSApps.txt">

    <arg line="/c deploy.cmd"/>

  </exec>

</target>

3. and deploy.cmd content is as below 

call deploybackend.cmd(this telnets with servers)

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 EXIT /B 1

What are we missing here. Please advise. 

 

Group permissions required for few directories
By Sebastian Specialist CM - March 13, 20131 Answer

Hi,

I received one request from one of our client regarding "group permission change for listed folders" from “abc” vob as they are not able to change permission due to mastership issue for those folders. Because, mastership lies at our end. I got request to change the group permissions for our vob's 10 directories. So that they can access and do some analysis through some tools. But as per our admins, VOB group permissions remains to one group only and they cannot change it. But our Client is keep on
pinging me. As per my R&D, I found "protectvob" command. Does the below command works?

cleartool protectvob –add_group "groupname" /path_of_the_vob/abc_vob/directory1

Please could you check and send me the steps to change group permission for only 10 directories of abc vob. Thanks in advance.

Regards/Sebastian
