Error description
binary_delta type manager uses a temp file to * gzip deflate the existing source container * build the new source container prior to gzipping it into the actual source container After a successful type manager operation this temp file gets removed, but after a failed operation the temp file remains In the worst case, since the temp file naming convention is tmp12345 all the possible names get exhausted and EVERY subsequent type manager operation fails, due to being unable to create the temp file it needs
Local fix
The files are created in the TEMP directory, which maybe On UNIX / Linux /tmp /var/tmp On Windows set in the TMP or TEMP environment variable for temp files created by view_server process, it is the TEMP environment variable of the ClearCase service account Delete the old temp files manually. Monitor for the existence of many files named tmpNNNNN
