| Description |

ClearCase uses the RPC protocol which is hard-coded to a limit of 16 groups. When using a view stgloc for ClearCase repositories membership in more than 16 groups causes mkview to fail. |

I wasn't done with the description .. for more info on the problem see this IBM technote http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=984&context=SSSH27&context=SSSH3S&context=SSSTY3&context=SSCSNZN&context=SSSTWP&context=SSCGQ7B&context=SSCGQ7D&context=SSCSP7T&q1=mkview+unable+to+set+ownership+of+file&uid=swg21143201&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en They offer a solution utilizing a wrapper program and an environment variable, detailed here. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21207807 Adding settings to the ClearCase repository configuration in QB to support this (checkbox to use setgroup-swap, which then enables a field to set the value of CLEARCASE_GROUPS) would greatly simplify our use of QuickBuild with ClearCase. |
