This patch contains the following software changes:


PI05069:

   Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase fails to remove remote views using a Microsoft Windows 8 client and a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 server.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase rmview has been fixed.


PI10723:

   Problem: ClearTeam Explorer fails to show any stream views if the list includes views with missing view tags.

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer now displays valid stream views and skips the views that are missing view tags in the ClearCase registry.


PI10990:

   Problem: In the System Requirements for IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x, it states that Sybase PowerBuilder is supported for use with the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC).

   Fix: System Requirements for the IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x / Sybase PowerBuilder integration have been corrected.


PI12302:

   Problem: If you are logged in with a user name that contains a space, you may see the following error: "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" when comparing UTF8* or UTF16* files when you are are working in IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer or another native graphical user interface (GUI), such as the version tree browser. You may also see the same error when running cleartool diff -g -pred utf8filename.xxx.

   Fix: User names are now enclosed in quotes to be able to handle user names containing spaces.


PI12482:

   Problem: In Rational ClearTeam Explorer, the user is unable to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard if the label is locked.

   Fix: The user is now able to select a label as a merge source in the Merge Search Wizard even if the label is locked.


PI12579:

   Problem: When you are working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration, you may see the following error when adding files to source control: "Error loading PowerBuilder Orca library, PBORC15.DLL". 

The files are added to source control correctly and there seems to be no impact due to the error.  You can clear the error by selecting the OK button.

   Fix: The "Version Libraries" option is no longer available in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Sybase PowerBuilder integration after version 8.  Please read  (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21258623&rcss=se).


PI14475:

   Problem: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout() was not correctly clearing cached data which was causing incorrect authentication information to be re-used in subsequent logins in the same process.

   Fix: Rational CM API CcProvider.doLogout()  now correctly clears cached data.


PI14582:

   Problem: Using URLs that contain non-ASCII characters with the OSLC-based Rational UCM/CQ Integration (SQUID) or the Rational Change Management Integration (CMI) causes the integrations to malfunction.

   Fix: URLs that contain non-ASCII characters are now properly encoded.


PI14640:

   Problem: Users of Rational ClearCase MVFS may see corrupted files containing zeros if the use of the cache manager is turned on. The issue is caused because the view server may send stale information about the file size and makes the file smaller than it actually is in the cache. Later MVFS updates the file size to the correct value, but the file data has already been lost.

   Fix: Rational ClearCase MVFS now ignores file size updates for files opened for write if the use of the cache manager is turned on. This prevents the file size to be updated with stale information preserving its data on the local cache.


PI14691:

   Problem: Saving a file from the Rational ClearTeam Explorer version tree using the "save as" function adds null characters to the file.  This is reproducible from both a web and dynamic view.

   Fix: The "save as" function has been corrected.


PI15411:

   Problem: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical fails if the full ClearCase client is not installed.

   Fix: Rational ClearCase rcleartool -graphical now use the ClearCase native diff/merge tools which are part of the Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) package.


PI15615:

   Problem: ClearCase does not properly fail a checkin when an RPC times out trying to communicate with ClearCase remote server.

   Fix: Error processing has been corrected in ClearCase versions 8.0.0.5 and 8.0.1


PI16366:

   Problem: Customers using Rational ClearCase dynamic views may have their builds interrupted with an error about not being able to write to a given file. The ClearCase MVFS driver was incorrectly handling an error condition when trying to lock user buffer memory pages.

   Fix: ClearCase MVFS now forwards the new request to the storage file system without locking the user buffer. The underlying file system will take the necessary steps  as it would do without having MVFS installed.


PI17288:

   Problem: When using Rational ClearCase MVFS and renaming a file or directory through a view-extended name to a name in the viewroot, AIX may panic, even for an unprivileged user.  For instance, doing "mv /view/test-view/var /view/var" will cause a panic.

   Fix: ClearCase MVFS was fixed to avoid the panic in these rename situations.


PM78205:

   Problem: ClearTeam Explorer dose not display merge arrows if you start with partial version tree, then double click on the ... box/branch to expand to full version tree. 

   Fix: ClearTeam Explorer has been fixed to show merge arrows in a partial version tree.


PM86765:

   Problem: Rational ClearCase / Visual Studio 2012 integration freezes on 'Add as link' operation.

   Fix: 'Add as link' operation no longer causes Visual Studio to freeze.


PM86857:

   Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase users may  encounter STOP errors when building using dynamic views on Microsoft Windows(R) platforms

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been modified to prevent STOP errors while building.
