in response to: JonesWong's post I am having the same problem also.I'm not having the problem installing the apps using the IM GUI.
I've deinstalled and reinstalled so many times my head is spinning.
in response to: JonesWong's post The IM comes with Sun Java. I can see it in the ...\eclipse\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a\jre\bin directory. This is a new 2008 R2 server and it doesn't look like it has Sun Java installed. I thought that wouldn't be an issue. I'm just trying to install the thick clients.
This server has UAC turned on. I am logged in as Administrator and for extra measure I right clicked on the DOS prompt and am running the DOS session as Administrator. But since I can do this via the GUI it's definately a DOS/silent install issue. Possibly with 7.1.2 and IM 1.4.1 and silent install.
Has anyone gotten that combo to work?
in response to: JonesWong's post Even more information. I looked at the file in my ..\users\..\temp\ directory and it is the ibmratl_lic.dll file.
And the software appears to be installed.
There's nothing in the log file to tell me more.
I didn't get the error when doing a silent install of CCRC but I did when trying to do a silent install of ReqPro and ClearQuest. So again that points to some FlexLM license related issue.
But I can connect to the license server and use the software.
I'm left not knowing if there's something that didn't install correctly.
Any ideas?
in response to: JonesWong's post I've been trying many ways to do a silent install for the client to a PC from a repository created on a server. For testing purposes I installed Installation Manager on the PC also but normal end users will not have it so the install has to work without IM on the PC.
If I go to the ..\eclipse directory on the PC and type:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silend-install.ini -input \\
If I try to use the servers installation of IM by typing something like -- \\
I have problems.
At first I was getting the same errors that JonesWong was having. Then I went to the server and modied the IBMIM.ini, launcher.ini and silentinstall.ini and updated the java path to be \\
I stopped getting those errors and now what happens is the Installation Manager splash screen comes up for 10 seconds or so, shuts down and the DOS command aborts with no message.
Has anyone been able to create a client install repository on a Windows 2008 server which they've then successfully installed from a PC without accessing Installation Manager on the PC?
Thanks.

in response to: JonesWong's post Yes. Opened a ticket Friday after hours. But no support until Monday:( And even so, I was hoping to hear if anyone else was successfull. If so, then I'd think it's our specific setup/commands that were at fault.

in response to: JonesWong's post Very poor form of me to submit multiple updates to this ticket and then disappear. It's been a busy few weeks. Our particular setup is probably different than yours and I'm not sure which error you guys are having. The first error is fixed by updating the jvm location in the ...\eclipse\launcher.ini, ibmim.ini and silent-install.ini files. True you may not need to do it for all 3 but why not.
In our case we're not installing Installation Manager on the end users PC. Instead we're pointing to ibmim on a server and then installing from a repository on the server.
Normally the 3 ini files would have a line that reads something like:
c:\....\eclipse\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a\jre\bin\j9vm\jvm.dll
But for us there is no such directory or files on our C drive. We had to update the path to read:
\\
Then the second problem I had with the ibmim splash screen coming up and then shutting down and the install never really starting was because I was using UNC path to get to ibmim.exe. I had to map a drive to the server where ibmim is installed and from the command prompt on the PC change directories to that drive and execute the command from the eclipse directory on the server.
If you're still having problems please detail the steps you're going through and where the download, repository and installation manager files reside.
in response to: JonesWong's post I did faced the issue. It is purly JVM path issue. Say you have IM in
c:\IM\1.4.1\
Goto C:\IM\1.4.1\jre_5.0.4.sr11_20091106a
Copy the "jre" folder"
Go back to c:\IM\1.4.1\
Paste it.
This will resolve all your issues.
After doing the above try executing this.
\\itdqc002\C$\IM\1.4.1\installc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input \\itdqc002\C$\response_file\install_clearcase71.xml

That the real pain point with the lock mechanism: if you unlock (which you need to do if you want to perform a cleartool protect -chown), you are loosing the list of users you excluded from a given lock.
A starting point to script that kind of operation is this IBM document "How to list locked VOBs":
Windows: for /F %v in ('cleartool lsvob -short') do cleartool lslock vob:%vUnix: for i incleartool lsvob -short -host ; do cleartool lslock vob:$i; doneLeave me as a comment the Os on which you will perform those operations, and I will complete this answer with a script.
For instance, a quick DOS script chown_locked.cmd would be:

lockedlocked with the right owner (the previous one who has left)If a sub-stream is locked with a -nusers list of excluded users (excluded from the lock), this list is saved before the unlock, and restore when locking the stream again.
Of course, it will only work if the current user is ClearCase administrator (i.e. is in the same group than the ClearCase_albd user): only this king of user can do a chown on a ClearCase object.

It depends on the history of the two versions of a directory being merged from one branch to another:
if one version has removed files (i.e. has less files than the other version)if said version is merged onto the other,the resulting version will have less files than initially shown in the view.
That could be because:
that view is not the one used for the mergethat view is the correct one, but with an eclipsed or hijacked content (privates files replacing versioned files)In any case, what would help in the mentioned view is:
a 'cleartool ls' in the directory mergeda 'cleartool ls' in the parent directory of the directory merged.The output of those two commands would help to confirm the exact status of the files merged within that directory, as well as the status of the directory itself.

Does the install run on Windows? My guess is that they didn't ask for userid that ran the installation but rather the userid assigned during the installation to own the QC services etc.
If is just the userid that ran the install then this will probably be the owner of the files it installed. So just do properties on files in the appropriate C:\Program Files\... directory
If it is the "owning" user id it probably creates a service and sets it to run as some userid. Take a look in Services and do a properties - look at the Log On tab.

http://www.technojobs.co.uk/job.phtml/484350 This question is not answered. in response to: cm@heart's post "setting up sniffers and also check MTU settings." Could you give me more detail description about this? in response to: marcdb's post Many thanks! in response to: shingirl's post Shingirl, There is a RFCs collection where all those protocols and their usage is explained.
In short when you ping a remore machine, your PC does send a "hello" message to the address you wish to enquire.
In human terms:
hello AAA I am ZZZ do you read me?
hello ZZZ this is AAA and I read you
When you use:
ping address -a
you ask the remote machine to supply you its human readable name known as DNS
Also the ICMP set is used to build a matrix of machines in a LAN
The full RFC list can be found in here: www.rfc-editor.org
in response to: shingirl's post shingirl wrote: in response to: shingirl's post This seems to be going around in circles... Some important tests:
1) Verify that a "loaded" ping (packet size of at least 4096 bytes) works. "ping -l 5120 {registry server name}" is a useful command to test this...
2) Verify whether you can do an lsvob of a known VOB tag. "cleartool lsvob \myvob" If this works, while a full lsvob fails, you most likely have a firewall configuration that is blocking the full communication.
If the single-VOB lsvob fails, then verify that you can actually communicate with the albd port on the server host. The best command for that is the old windows "telnet" program. The syntax is "telnet {registry server name} 371", and if this is successful, you will see NOTHING. If it fails, you will get an error like this:
Connecting To
If the telnet fails that way, you need to determine why you cannot perform this basic communication and resolve the issue. The possible causes are:
1) Name resolution. The server's host name may resolve to an incorrect address in DNS
2) Client-side firewall issue. The ClearCase commands from this host may be getting blocked by a firewall on the client. You would be able to see this in a network trace started on the client, because you will see no communication going out to port 371.
3) intermediate firewall issue.
Note: If the registry server is also this client's ATRIA license server (check clearcase control panel or cleartool hostinfo -long), then the fact that you are NOT getting a license error indicates that basic communication with the albd works.

in response to: shingirl's post Does need to uninstall the antivirus software or firewall, not disable? Is there other clues to solve the issue or to find the cause of the issue?
in response to: shingirl's post Shingirl, That was our initial assestment.
Nowadays most popular Antivirus act also as firewall, more complicated than default Windows one, where common ports are the only open.
The suggestion, as already made to you, is to kill or temporary disable the Antivirus or any similar programme that might interact with network traffic.
To make and additional suggestion you want to use a programme that will tell you which port are open or close. Google for one, there are several freeware ones.
Cheers
in response to: shingirl's post Since "cleartool lsvob \vob1" works while plain "cleartool lsvob" fails, the issue is almost guaranteed to be in the switch/router/firewall between the client and the registry server. Why did I put the 3 together? Because in some cases the same box performs all 3 jobs. (High end Cisco gear is known for doing this, for example...) Take a network trace of the transaction at both the client and the server end of things. Odds are that you will see the full "list vobs" output in the server-end trace, and only the FIRST packet of that response in the client-side trace. If so, please take a CLOSE look at the raw packets in the server side trace. What you will probably see is that the packets are leaving the server with the "do not fragment" bit set, and 2 out of 3 packets with that bit set also have non-zero fragment offset values. This combination of options is blocked by some intrusion detection systems to prevent denial-of-service attacks caused by spraying the target with bogus fragmented packets (which then will "sit around" for a while in memory waiting for the first fragment...).
How do you fix this, you tweak the firewall / Intrusion detection settings to allow these packets to go through.
Actual steps are (unfortunately) vendor specific.

The closest you can get is using ClearCase's internal symbolic links via the cleartool ln -s command. If you're linking files, you can try using hard links, but they can cause user confusion.
I've had problems with svn:externals and have stopped using them. It is way too easy to specify an actively changing HEAD as the svn:externals link, and then forget about that when you create a tag. That can cause your tagged version to change without your knowledge.
In order to get around this you should only tag to a specified revision AND make sure you use revision pinning since a later revision might move or delete the directory tree you were linking to. (There's a debate whether a link to the tags directory counts as a specified version, or whether you really need to use -r).
A better way is to treat directories from subcomponents your linking to via things like svn:exterals as actual releases and store them on some sort of release server. When you do your build of your application, you copy the needed files from the release server to your project much the way Maven and Ant/Ivy do. If your release is really just source code, you can store it on your release server as a tarball.
The big advantage is that this method is now independent of special features in your version control system.

Is that exactly what it says about the attributes? There are several options that could apply. In general there are two ways:
1. Command line:
Usually you would change directory into a directory inside the vob. Assuming you are on windows with a view called dynamic and a vob called \hpqc...M:cd \dynamichpqccleartool mkattype -vtype string -c "For Quality Center" TDUser
2. Gui:
Start IBM Rational ClearCase/Type Explorer
Select your Vob
Double click Attribute Types
Right click on the page and select "Create..."
Follow the dialog

Thanks for the reply. Page 12 of http://update.external.hp.com/qualitycenter/qc90/version_control/rcc_vc/qc_9_2/VCRCC.pdf is what I'm looking at for this. It is HP's Rational ClearCase Version Control Add-in Guide. Maybe I'm misreading something. Cant hurt to create a "string" attribute type I would think so I will give that a shot.
I've been given the opportunity to admin ClearCase with about 6 hours training and no prior experience. It has been a fun ride to say the least the last couple of months. Nothing has been easy per say and top that off with CC is a side project from my regualar QA work. Reading this site has been so much more help then any of the documentation I have been reading.
I hadn't used command lines since my old 8088 dos no windows 640k 20mb hd pc died but seems like alot of CC work is done via command lines. Good times!
