APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
APAR Description: The UCM integration between IBM Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest products utilizes the UCMUtilityActivity record to facilitate operations like deliver and rebase. This record type is limited to 50 characters for ucm_view and ucm_stream fields in the UCM package; however, the integration is designed so that longer stream or view names are allowed and will be truncated to fit in the fields. ClearQuest 7.1.2 added support for Open Services for LifeCycle Collaboration (OSLC) and this is the only method of connecting to a UCM-integrated ClearQuest database in ClearCase 8.x. Due to a product defect, long stream and view names are not properly truncated when using OSLC. A rebase operation on such a stream, for example, will result in this error: M:\view_for_long_stream?cleartool rebase -recommended Advancing to baseline 'base4' of component 'CVOB1' Updating rebase view's config spec... Creating integration activity... cleartool: Error: 'CRVAP0290E CRMUD0032E The string 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy' is invalid because it contains 51 bytes, but the most bytes permitted for this field is 50. ' cleartool: Error: Unable to connect the integration activity to ClearQuest. cleartool: Error: Unable to create integration activity. cleartool: Error: Unable to perform integration. cleartool: Error: Unable to rebase stream 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy'. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a stream with a name longer than 50 characters on a ClearQuest-integrated UCM project using OSLC 2. Create a baseline on the integration stream 3. Rebase the stream with long name Workarounds: 1. If you are using full ClearCase client and have ClearQuest installed, use crmregister to remove the existing OSLC connection to the ClearQuest database and reregister it without the -url option. 2. If you are using ClearTeam Explorer with web views on a ClearCase 8.0.x WAN Server, the only option is to checkout the ClearQuest schema and modify the UCMUtilityActivity record so that the ucm_stream and ucm_view fields accept more than 50 characters.
