Cleartool rmview errors on linux - no view storage .view

  • 1.  Cleartool rmview errors on linux - no view storage .view

    Posted Tue April 05, 2016 03:34 PM

    Cleartool rmview -tag errors on linux - no view storage .view...  running 7.1.2 on RH 6.4.  We can create views and save them to a storage dir.  All the .vws and .view files exit.  

    whenever someone issues a cleartool rmview -tag <view name=""> it complains it can't find the storage files:

    [root@arc ~]# cleartool rmview -tag rrr

    cleartool: Error: Unable to open file "/net/arc.deveng.local/home/ccviews/root/rrr.vws/.view": No such file or directory.

    cleartool: Error: /net/arc.deveng.local/home/ccviews/root/rrr.vws isn't a view: No such file or directory

    cleartool: Error: Unable to remove view "/net/arc.deveng.local/home/ccviews/root/rrr.vws".

    I'm doing the as root and  /home/ccviews/root/rrr.vws exists, so why the error when using -tag and how do I resolve it.

    Doing a rmvew <storage dir="" works="">

    norm

    </storage></view>

    I resolved the issue by exporting the storage dir on the locat host.
