This patch contains the following software changes:


PI04691:

   Problem: You may see a BCL syntax error when running an rccbuild in IBM Rational ClearCase Mainframe Connectors if the string 'MEMBER=' is included in the parameters.

   Fix: This syntax error has been resolved.


PI04926:

   Problem: In the Rational ClearCase integration with Cadence Design Framework II, when expanding nodes in the Work Area Manager, comments containing a pattern that matches regular expression "_.," caused syntax errors in Virtuoso. 

   Fix: Comments containing a "_.," pattern will no longer cause a syntax error.


PI05125:

   Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer, expanding the "Add to source" dialogue to show details may hide the resource selection field, making it impossible to select or de-select individual artifacts to add to source control.

   Fix: Individual artifacts can now be selected when using the details of the "Add to source" dialog.


PI05748:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase mvfsstat utility can report an incorrect value for maximum RPC delay time on multi-processor systems.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to report the maximum RPC delay time correctly.


PM48668:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer may intermittently freeze for a long period of time when a background decorator is running.

   Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer fixes a performance issues that can cause the UI to freeze for a long period of time when a background decorator is running.


PM487942:

   Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase cleartool describe -aliases may not properly list all of the visible aliases of a clearcase hard link if one of the links is in a directory that is not visible in the current view.

   Fix: cleartool describe -aliases now properly lists all visible aliases of a hard link.


PM73548:

   Problem: When both ccrcUseViewHostPathForGlobalPath and ccrcUserRegionMapFile are explicitly specified in the server.conf configuration file of the IBM Rational ClearCase 8.0.x WAN Server, the WAN server is unable to locate the region map even though the path is set correctly.

   Fix: The ClearCase WAN server has been fixed to correctly parse the configuration options.


PM77345:

   Problem: When the view storage path for an IBM Rational ClearCase view on UNIX or Linux approached 255 characters, some operations such as checkout could fail, even though the user-visible view tag and VOB tag are short enough for fully qualified pathnames to be within supported limits. 

   Fix: ClearCase will now successfully handle view storage path names that are longer than 255 characters.


PM79463:

   Problem: During the apply label operation in ClearTeam Explorer, a comment that is intended to be attached to the label event, is incorrectly being applied to the labelled version itself.  This can also result in an incorrect error message being shown to the user.        

   Fix: The handling of label event comments in CleartTeam Explorer has been fixed and no error message will be shown.


PM85153:

   Problem: When applying a label in am IBM Rational ClearCase view, you may find that not all labels are applied or that some elements report errors but the labels have been applied.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified so that labels will now be applied properly.


PM87538:

   Problem: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) may not show the current checkout comments for a checked-out version.  Modifications made by CTE to checkout comments through a property sheet are lost when the version is checked in.

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) has been fixed to correctly display and modify comments on checked-out versions.


PM88109:

   Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record (e.g. trivial rebase) fail on AIX.

   Fix: ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest integration actions that delete a ClearQuest record now succeed on AIX.


PM88248:

   Problem: In the Rational ClearCase integration with Cadence Design Framework II, attempting to apply a label for which the ClearCase label type was not defined would generate an error, rather than creating the label type.

   Fix: The integration now properly creates the ClearCase label type correctly in the appropriate VOB(s).


PM90370:

   Problem: When running IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch -actual replica1 replica2 ...", if replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command should produce an error of the type "unable to retrieve epoch row for remote replica". At this time there is no error or message indicating any issues with replica1 as long at there is connectivity to the remote site and the VOB server host exists.

   Fix: If replica1 has not yet been imported on the remote site or the replica hostname is incorrect, then the command now produces an error.


PM90373:

   Problem: When running the IBM Rational ClearCase Multisite command "multitool lsepoch" from the command line with multiple replicas given as options, the command will abort if it encounters a failure contacting one of the replicas. It then does not continue processing the command and so does not attempt to access the subsequent replicas.

   Fix: The command now continues processing and attempts to access the subsequent replicas.


PM90878:

   Problem: Large multiprocessor build servers running HP-UX 11.31 would experience sporadic system crashes during periods of high activity.

   Fix: Locking around the vnode reference count in the IBM Rational ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS)  was corrected, to prevent race conditions between threads deactivating and reactivating the same file object.


PM90880:

   Problem: When stopping IBM Rational ClearCase services on an HP-UX system which had been running a substantial load, it was possible to receive errors unmounting some VOBs, and that in turn prevented successful unmount of the viewroot.

   Fix: Changes were made in the ClearCase Multi Version File System (MVFS) file inactivation code to correctly release all resources on the last close of a file which had been opened by multiple processes.


PM94448:

   Problem: When attempting to use the rcleartool portion of the ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer plugin for Eclipse, the setup will fail because it is unable to locate the launcher script.

   Fix: Rcleartool script now configures correctly for the first time use in Clear Team Explorer Eclipse Plugin.


PM95740:

   Problem: Processes could hang if they attempted to access a file in the IBM Rational ClearCase Multi-Version File System that was in the process of being deleted.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to eliminate a race condition so that processes will not hang while accessing files that are in the process of being deleted.


PM95898:

   Problem: Wildcard specifications in Rational ClearCase lsview may incorrectly report "no matching entries".

   Fix: Wildcard specifications in Rational ClearCase lsview no longer report the error message when views exists and match the wildcard pattern.


PM95985:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration will generate an error to the user for view tags or stream names longer than 50 characters for entry into ClearQuest records.

   Fix: The ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest OSLC integration truncates view tags and stream names when they are longer than 50 characters.


PM96863:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge unnecessarily fetches all the active dynamic views on startup, causing delay in performing the merge.

   Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge no longer fetches all the active dynamic views on startup which allows the merge operation to commence quickly.


PM97072:

   Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, the lack of a Show Checkouts action on the ClearCase toolbar makes it difficult for the user to open the Checkouts view.

   Fix: The main toolbar in ClearTeam Explorer now includes the Show Checkouts action to allow the user to quickly open the Checkouts view.


PM97192:

   Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer, if you rename the file of a logical model fragment while there is an open checkouts view, and then attempt to check in the model, the checkin will attempt to check in the old name because CTE's internal model did not get updated for the rename.

   Fix: On certain refactor operations on logical models, the CTE move/delete operations now correctly update the CTE internal model so that checkin will function correctly.


PM97194:

   Problem: In the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE), there is no Checkin option in the right click menu of CTE Checkouts view if model root directory is chosen.

   Fix: The context menu in the ClearTeam Explorer Checkouts view is now the same regardless of the selection in the view, and includes the Checkin option.


PM97784:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer had not been updated to support the latest improvements to the CLI Closure Merge feature of the IBM Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE).

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now fully supports the latest improvements to RSARTE CLI Closure Merge


PM97895:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer should print all logging information to the Eclipse log, but it is being displayed on the console.

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer will now print exceptions and log information to the Eclipse workspace log.


PM97900:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge exits prematurely, before all the extraneous checkouts performed during the merge are undone.

   Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now waits for all the extraneous checkouts to be undone before completing the merge command.


PM98277:

   Problem: The problem is caused by two ClearCase dialogs, one open and one about to open, running simultaneously.  This does not normally occur, unless:
1) The .settings folder and it's content does not exist in the project.
2) The user 	has more than one transformation config and changes which is the default.
3) The user *quickly* attempts to refactor a model object after changing the default transformation configuration.

   Fix: The ClearCase dialogs have listeners for change events within the dialogs and the add to source listener fires when the checkout dialog is about to open due to the refactor operation.  The listeners now filter on the event source so that the listeners will only respond to the correct event source.


PM98558:

   Problem: During some merges done using the IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge, unnecessary branches are created, due to the lack of support for an option to undo backwards merges. 

   Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now supports a flag to undo backwards merges to avoid creating unnecessary branches.


PM98666:

   Problem: In the Change Management Integration for UCM, cleartool setactivity and cleartool mkactivity can fail with a segmentation fault if the stream's Change Management Integration configuration is missing the "validate" keyword.

   Fix: The Integration will now use the default value for "validate" if the Admin has not explicitly configured it on the stream.


PM99090:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Command Line Logical Model Merge provides insufficient information about versions being fetched for merge,

   Fix: Command Line Logical Model Merge now provides sufficient information about versions being fetched for merge.


PM99093:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSA-RTE) may not be able to perform a checkin after removing a fragment from a model.

   Fix: A checkin can now be performed in after removing a fragment from a model.


PM99099:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Logical Model Merge may undo a checkout with merge results.

   Fix: Logical Model Merge has been fixed to  not incorrectly undo checkouts with merge results.


PM99221:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer integration with Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSA-RTE) may display a model's members in the checkouts view incorrectly after a model mutation.

   Fix: The ClearTeam Explorer / RSA-RTE integration will now correctly display a model's members after a model mutation.


PM99453:

   Problem: Under certain circumstances, a distributed build in IBM Rational ClearCase may incorrectly invalidate the MultiVersion Filesystem cache when building on the local host, which can cause a small performance degradation during builds.

   Fix: The distributed build will now correctly determine if the build is done on the local host and not invalidate the cache.


PM99612:

   Problem: The IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client may fail with a Null Pointer Exception when field names contain multibyte characters.

   Fix: Multibyte characters in field names will no longer cause an exception.


PM99780:

   Problem: The "cleartool mkbl -clone" command in IBM Rational ClearCase may fail with a core dump. Similarly, the IBM Rational MultiSitemultitool synch import operation may fail on replay of a mkbl -clone command.

   Fix: The cleartool mkbl -clone and the replay of mkbl -clone by multitool synch will no longer crash on a memory overflow condition.


PI04987:

   Problem: On some Unix and Linux platforms, IBM Rational ClearCase installed incorrect symlinks for ccase-home-dir/etc/rsh and ccase-home-dir/etc/abe_starter, which prevented distributed clearmake builds from starting properly.
 

   Fix: The symlinks for rsh and abe_starter are handled correctly by the installation code, and will be maintained correctly across upgrades as well.
