PK89347: ClearCase administrative user is able to move a version map labe l without warning

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a user attempts to move a label, for example in Version Tre
  e Browser, and that label
  is a baseline label (version map) then it fails with the error
  ----------------------------------------------
  Failed to apply label to element.
  Cannot modify an lbtype that is a version map.
  Trouble applying label to '...'
  Unable to create label 'XXXXX' on '...'
  ----------------------------------------------
  
  However, if the user happens to be a ClearCase Administrator the
  n the operation succeeds without warning.
  This causes baseline integrity issues.
  
  By contrast, if the ClearCase Administrator moves the label usin
  g a a 'cleartool mklabel -replace' command
  they get a warning as follows:
  ================================================================
  ===============
  cleartool? mklabel -replace Milestone_5 'Baseline Suffixes.txt@@
  \main\TEST_Integration\3'
  cleartool: Warning: Modifying an lbtype that is a version map sh
  ould be done only for repair purposes under the supervision of C
  ustomer Support.
  Moved label 'Milestone_5' on 'Baseline Suffixes.txt' from versio
  n '\main\TEST_Integration\2' to '\main\TEST_Integration\3'.
  ================================================================
  =================
