This patch contains the following software changes:


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.


PI11635:

   Problem: Users of IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux could periodically see checked-out and view-private files having all their file size set to 0 and the creation date set to January 1, 1970.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase on Linux will now return the correct file information in all cases.


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.


PI12750:

   Problem: When working in the IBM Rational ClearCase/Cadence integration, it is not showing the correct title bar of the Editor windows with the correct Library/Cell/Cellview/Version information, when descending into the design hierarchy.

   Fix: Title bar of the cellview editor will now be appropriately updated with the title of the sub block when opened in the same tab.


PI12880:

   Problem: When using IBM Rational ClearCase views with a large cache (e.g.32MB) the view_server process may become 100% busy when 'cleartool setcs -current' is run, if the views object cache is 100% full.

   Fix: Performance was improved for cache full situations.


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.


PI14606:

   Problem: Using the Rational ClearCase-Cadence integration, there are times when a user may select a Cadence object in the Hierarchy Manager, or the ClearCase Work Area Manager (WAM), and select a ClearCase operation (e.g. Label, checkout, and others) and the resulting dialog box may not show any items that were selected.  The user would then not be able to perform the desired operation.

   Fix: The ClearCase-Cadence integration has been changed to properly address this situation and the objects selected in the WAM or the Hierarchy Manager will now be properly displayed in the desired operation dialog box.


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


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.
