This patch contains the following software changes:


PI11830:

   Problem: A ClearCase Windows client using a Unix/Linux view to access an ACL enabled VOB may get access denied even though the client's primary group matches the owner group of the VOB.  One manifestation could be a "dir /acl-enabled-vob-name" command would show no contents in the VOB with no other apparent error.

   Fix: ClearCase was modified to check the primary group as well as the grouplist when looking for a matching group during ACL checks.


PI15110:

   Problem: When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase UCM Multisite environment having mutiple pvobs, it is possible that oplogs generated by running "cleartool rebase -dbaseline" may not be replayed properly in sibling replicas, causing subsequent failures at those siblings when running "mkreplica -export" or "reformatvob" commands.

   Fix: This fix causes the oplogs to be replayed properly at sibling replicas.


PI31561:

   Problem: When attempting to checkin a large directory/element set with the aggregated checkin function, the operation will appear to hang and never complete. 

   Fix: List of checkouts is now only fetched once when get aliases.


PI40960:

   Problem: Incorrect user is identified as checking in a file in ClearTeam Explorer if a merge is required due to a previous checkin.

   Fix: The correct owner will be now be reported in the message.


PI43174:

   Problem: When you are running the following command against an IBM Rational ClearCase Access Control List (ACLS) enabled vob, you may receive an error:

cleartool lspolicy policy:PolicyName@\VOB tag
cleartool: Error: Policy not found: "policy:PolicyName".

   Fix: Both formats of the lspolicy command ("<policy name>"  "policy:<policy name>") are now accepted.


PI43668:

   Problem: IBM ClearCase cleartool commands using "-fmt %[CONFIG_SPEC]P" may overflow it's output buffer.

   Fix: The "-fmt %[CONFIG_SPEC]P" option has been modified to expand it's output buffer as needed.


PI45746:

   Problem: When attempting to repair missing/corrupt source containers in an IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object Base (VOB), the checkvob tool may incorrectly determine the storage format of the potential replacement container when the element type manager is one of the more-recently introduced element types: Rose/xde/Unicode, etc.

   Fix: The correct element type is now detected and used.


PI45760:

   Problem: When performing container recovery/repair in an IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object Base (VOB) the checkvob command may fail while processing damaged UTF16 or UTF32 elements.

   Fix: The checkvob command is now able to process UTF16 and UTF32 elements.


PI48197:

   Problem: In IBM Rational ClearCase, when creating an integration view from the "join project" dialogue in ClearTeam Explorer, the "Finish" button is greyed out.

   Fix: In the problem case, the "Finish" button can now be selected.


PI50577:

   Problem: When performing a highly parallel build in an IBM ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a Microsoft Windows STOP error (blue screen crash) with the status  DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1).

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused I/O data structures to be incorrect.


PI50990:

   Problem: When using Microsoft Visual Studio and searching within a large project in an IBM ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a Windows STOP error (BSOD) when opening a file found during the search.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused I/O data structures to be incorrect.


PI52979:

   Problem: When describing a file element version in an IBM Rational Clearcase Versioned Object Base (VOB), the output will be truncated at 153097 bytes when formatting the describe to only return labels. (-fmt %Nl)

   Fix: The output buffer used by -fmt %Nl now expands as needed to include all labels.


PI53155:

   Problem: In IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer the compare baselines OK button is grayed out and cannot be selected.

   Fix: The OK button can now be selected.


PI53747:

   Problem: When performing a highly parallel build in an IBM ClearCase dynamic view, you may experience a system hang.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase MVFS was modified to avoid synchronization issues that was causing a system hang.


PI53844:

   Problem: When working in a ClearCase dynamic view in Microsoft Visual Studio, users may experience a Microsoft STOP error of BAD_POOL_HEADER (19) when opening a large project.

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused I/O data structures to be corrupted.


PI55768:

   Problem: When using a tool such as kdiff to compare file differences between versions in two different ClearCase dynamic views on Microsoft WIndows, the user may experience a Microsoft STOP error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)

   Fix: IBM Rational ClearCase has been updated to fix a defect which caused I/O data structures to be incorrect.


PI57204:

   Problem: Running the IBM Rational ClearCase command: "cleartool chmaster" on a read-only stream may result in an internal error.

   Fix: The internal error is no longer reported.


PI57453:

   Problem: When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view and running the gnuwin32 cp.exe command, you may find that the file is not truncated correctly.

   Fix: MVFS now notifies cache manager appropriately when changing the file allocation information removing the race condition.


PI57857:

   Problem: IBM Rational ClearCase cleartool command could crash if an excessively long string is passed as the -type argument

   Fix: cleartool has been fixed to work properly with any length input string for the -type argument


PI58916:

   Problem: When working in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, you may receive a Microsoft STOP error of BAD_POOL_HEADER (19).

   Fix: IBM Rational Clearcase was changed to avoid this crash.


PI59748:

   Problem: When an Automatic view database attempts to reformat via the view db_dumper and db_loader, this can fail.  This leaves the view in an unusable state.

   Fix: Automatic view reformat has been fixed.


PI59905:

   Problem: IBM ClearCase cleartool commands using "-fmt %[dstreams]Xp" may overflow it's output buffer.

   Fix: The "-fmt %[dstreams]Xp" option has been modified to expand it's output buffer as needed.


PI60065:

   Problem: When working in Rational Developer for Z Systems with ClearTeam Explorer extension, you may find that the Team menu options are not correctly enabled in the HLL view.

   Fix: When working in Rational Developer for Z Systems with ClearTeam Explorer extension, the Team menu options are now enabled correctly in the HLL view.


PI60070:

   Problem: When working in Rational Developer for Z Systems with ClearTeam Explorer extension, you may find that the preference to decorate project names with view tags does not work in the HLL view.

   Fix: When working in Rational Developer for Z Systems with ClearTeam Explorer extension, the preference to decorate project names with view tags now works correctly in all RDz views, including in the HLL view.


PM79307:

   Problem: Performing a checkout using a dynamic view in IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) with a configuration specification (config spec) which selects a version other than LATEST on the branch results in a checkout of LATEST on that branch.
Although a setting exists to allow web views to checkout the view selected version (Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout > "Checkout the version that is loaded even if it is not the latest", this setting does not change the behavior of dynamic views.

   Fix: When performing a checkout in a dynamic view and the view-selected version is not the latest on the branch, the user is now allowed to choose whether to checkout the view-selected version or the latest version on the branch. A new set of preferences have been added for dynamic views: Window > Preferences > IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer > Dialogs > Checkout >"Checkout the view-selected version even if it is not the latest on the branch" and "Checkout the latest version on the branch".
