Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The issue in question occurs only on unix platforms when the workbench is running in a view context. The customer had symlinks of the nature /vob/vobtag/some/path --? /vob/othervobtag/some/path. In the version of CTE being used, even when running in a view context, imported projects would have the path: /view/viewtag/vob/vobtag/some/path/projectname the ClearCase back end server, of course would not know about the view context as this use case was not truly supported, so it ended up looking for the absolute path without having a view context. Naturally it could not find the symlink target. The fix for this deals with this. The project set problems were also due to this effect although not directly caused by the ccbe back end.
Problem conclusion
A fix has been delivered to IBM Rational ClearCase v 8.0.0.3.
