Rational clearcase explorer throws error like "Encountered an improper argument" -


i using rational clearcase explorer view vob. created dynamic view in view server,but not able access directory or folder. when tried access throws error "encountered improper argument" in rational clearcase explorer dialog box.

in clearcase explorer, when accessing folder, must first access vob.

that means need make sure vob mounted:

cleartool mount \myvob # unix: cleartool mount /vobs/myvob 

if vob visible, folder not accessible, need check status seen parent folder:

cd /myview/myvob/parent/folder cleartool ls 

that give clue why cannot access subfolder.

as mentioned in technote ""encountered improper argument" error displayed in clearcase native gui", can right issue:

if principal has not been granted access vob, attempt access vob ibm® rational® clearcase explorer returns error, "encountered improper argument."

resolving problem

this error might imply insufficient permissions.

to determine effective acl on object, use command

cleartool describe -eacl vob:\vobtag \vobtag 

for clearcase 8, you have bug:

when accessing file or directory in ibm rational clearcase guis, example, clearcase explorer or version tree browser, that has permissions of 770, receive error: 'encountered improper argument' rather 'access denied' or 'permission denied' if not member of group owns element.

a fix available in clearcase versions 8.0.0.8 , 8.0.1.1
