Proper 'cleartool mkview' for ClearCase Snapshot view creation
- by Jörg Battermann
Good afternoon,
seems like I am somewhat stuck in CC-land these days, but I have one (hopefully) final question regarding proper CC-handling:
When using the CC View Creation Wizard with the two steps / details below, I can create a proper Snapshot view on my machine perfectly fine, however when trying to do the same with the mkview command, it fails...
Here are the screenshots of the view creation wizard:
Now that results into the (working) following view:
cleartool> lsview battjo6r_view2
battjo6r_view2 \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws
cleartool> lsview -long battjo6r_view2
Tag: battjo6r_view2
Global path: \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws
Server host: Eh40yd4c
Region: CT_WORK
Active: NO
View tag uuid:f34cf43f.b4d048df.845d.ed:21:a2:9c:45:ff
View on host: Eh40yd4c
View server access path: D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws
View uuid: f34cf43f.b4d048df.845d.ed:21:a2:9c:45:ff
View attributes: snapshot
View owner: WW005\battjo6r
However, when trying to create the view manually via
mkview -snapshot -tag battjo6r_view2 -vws \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -host Eh40yd4c -hpath D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -gpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws battjo6r_view2
... I get the following error:
cleartool> mkview -snapshot -tag battjo6r_view2 -vws \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -host Eh40yd4c -hpath D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -gpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws battjo6r_view2
Created view.
Host-local path: Eh40yd4c:D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws
Global path: \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws
cleartool: Error: Unable to find view by uuid:6f99f7ae.6a5d40e4.ba32.37:8e:e5:a4:ed:18, last known at "<viewhost>:<stg_path>".
cleartool: Error: Unable to establish connection to snapshot view "6f99f7ae.6a5d40e4.ba32.37:8e:e5:a4:ed:18": ClearCase object not found
cleartool: Warning: Unable to open snapshot view "D:\SnapShotViews\battjo6r_view2".
cleartool: Error: Unable to create snapshot view "battjo6r_view2".
Removing the view ...
Any idea why this is happening? Am I missing something?
