Dbcheck crashes with Unhandled exception in ClearCase 7.1

Resolving The Problem

WORKAROUND

Either of the following procedures can be used to workaround this issue.

Note: If you do not have access to a host running ClearCase 7.0.1 from which to copy the files referenced below, contact IBM Rational Client Support referencing this technote for further assistance.

• Copy the db directory of the .vbs (example: c:\vobstore\myvob.vbs\db) to a machine with a version of ClearCase prior to version 7.1 and run dbcheck there.
  
• dbcheck.exe relies on libatriant.dll, so if you take a copy of dbcheck.exe and libatriant.dll from a ClearCase 7.0.1.x machine placing them in a temporary directory, you are able to run dbcheck as seen in the example below.
  
  Important Note: For this workaround to work correctly you must copy the 7.0.1.x dbcheck.exe and libatriant.dll files into a temporary directory that is NOT associated with the ClearCase install directory and then you need to issue the dbcheck command from within that temporary directory. This is necessary so that dbcheck uses these temporary files and doesn't try to call the 7.1 installed versions.
  
  Example:
  C:\temp\vdir_vob.vbs\db>ls -al  v:\temp\701_dbcheck
  total 185
  drwxr-xr-x    1 vdir     mkgroup_        0 Jan 17 16:13 .
  drwxr-xr-x    1 vdir     mkgroup_        0 Jan 17 16:06 ..
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 vdir     mkgroup_    78926 Dec 12  2007 dbcheck.exe
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 vdir     mkgroup_   109116 Dec 12  2007 libatriant.dll
  
  C:\temp\vdir_vob.vbs\db>v:\temp\701_dbcheck\dbcheck.exe  -a -k -p8096 vob_db
