Fix: The definition of the CCPolicy put_value variable was changed from BSTR* to BSTR, to correct a problem with use of that method with some compilers.

Fix: A race condition caused by incorrect locking was fixed in the ClearCase Automation Library.

Fix: Updated the underlying runtime to a version that correctly handles the library relocation.

Fix: A change was made in the transaction handling of certain use cases of cleartool mklabel, to prevent incorrect error messages.

Fix: Certain system-level error conditions can trigger this defect; sanity checking was added in the code to avoid the possible deadlock.

WORKAROUND: Run the protectvob command only on a VOB which is not being accessed at all by any user or process.

Fix: The following text has been restored: The protectvob command is used to change various properties of a VOB. Before executing this command, log in to the host where the VOB storage directory resides with the following credentials:  

• UNIX system or Linux: root
 
• Windows: local administrator, VOB owner, or member of the ClearCase group

Fix: In CCRC/CTE, the current selection in the Details view is now maintained when the columns are resorted.

Fix: The maximum size of the view_server's configuration record file was increased from 2Gb to 4Gb.

Fix: The order of operations has been corrected when the ClearCase UCM/ClearQuest Web Integration does an automatic transition to complete on a record.

Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) configuration validation which was adding overhead to certain operations in CTE.

Fix: RCleartool has been fixed to have equal or better performance than the ClearTeam Explorer GUI.

Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where the Checkouts view in CTE may show files as checked in if they are checked out outside of CTE.

Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearTeam Explorer where users cannot deliver in a stream context when the stream has web views attached

Fix: The code has been updated to have a generic extraction of the correct version on the IBM Installation Manager panel independently of the Operating System language.

Fix: Fixes a problem in ClearCase where The Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) is unable to delete a IBM Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition (RSARTE) model fragment during an 'absorb' operation if the fragment has checkouts on any branch.

Fix: Fixes issues surrounding creation of streams in feature level 7 VOBs.

Fix: When socket creation  fails using IPV6 protocol, CCz rccTSOServer does not throw exception any more while we return with an error code and then  rccTSOServer can have an opportunity to create socket using IPV4 protocol.

Fix: Changes were made in both Clearcase MVFS and the AIX kernel to improve the performance of getwd() in a working directory with a view-extended path. Previously, getwd() had to do stat() syscalls on each mounted VOB as part of generating the working directory pathname. Each stat() call might take a fraction of a second (or even a second or more), so with many VOBs the total time could be many seconds, or even minutes. With these changes, the stat() calls are no longer needed and the entire pathname generation is speeded up. The AIX change and the Clearcase change can be installed independently, but the performance improvement won't be seen until both changes are installed. The AIX kernel APARs containing the AIX changes are:

• IV22023 (for AIX 5.3 TL12)
• IV31361 (will be AIX 6.1 TL8)
• IV31359 (will be AIX 7.1 TL2)
• IV31750 (will be AIX 6.1 TL9

Fix: A patch to the Solaris operating system is now available which eliminates the need for the libatriagetcwd_interposer library.  This patch is 147440-24 for SPARC systems, or 147441-24 for x86 systems.

Fix: HP-UX patch PHCO_42265 and any of its successors include a change to the strerror(3C) function to improve performance.  This patch is recommended for all ClearCase installations on HP-UX 11.31.

Fix: Fixed the handling of some edge cases of the connection configuration file for crmregister.

Fix: A problem with incorrect use counts on dentries in certain kernel versions was corrected.

Fix: There is a problem in some versions of the Linux kernel function d_validate; a change was made to ClearCase to eliminate use of this function.

Fix: The logic for checking for suid permission was corrected, allowing the setgroup-swap utility to be started from any directory.

Fix: A problem which caused an invalid oid to be returned for a symbolic link in a ClearCase snapshot view has been corrected.

Fix: Added LDAP authentication support in RccTSOServer for Mainframe Connectors on Redhat Linux.
