APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When dumping an IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object Base (VOB) database as part of: 1) ClearCase MultiSite replica creation; 2) moving the VOB to host running a different processor architecture; 3) a maintenance operation; the dumper may fail with an out of memory error. At this time, the issue appears to be related to large directory checkin comments and a cache management issue in ClearCase. During the database dump operation, the dumper may use inordinate amounts of virtual memory, eventually exceeding the 4GB allowed for 32-bit user processes. This issue is extremely rare, and the only known workaround is to perform the dump on a ClearCase 7.0.1.x host as the out of memory issue does not occur on ClearCase 7.0.1.1-IFIX01.
