Error description

• Headline: CTE report errors and stop loading dynamic view list
  when view is not present.
  
  
  
  
  APAR Description:
  With IBM Rational ClearCase 8.x, using CTE and selecting the
  dynamic view (My Views
  or under it),
  it report an error message:
     ClearCase: Error: View tag '?tag?': ClearCase object not
  found
  Then no view are showed, including the working one.
  This happen if:
  - the view was unregistered but the tag was not removed
  - the view server process is still running but the view was
  removed
  - the view is still visible under the mvfs drive on Windows
  - The view was started and then removed (outside CTE)
  
  Step to reproduce (Windows only):
  1. Create a view on Windows
  2. Start CTE and browse to the view
  3. Close CTE
  4. Unregister the view
  5. Start CTE
  6. Open 'My View', error is returned, no other views are
  visible.
  
  Step to reproduce (Windows-Unix):
  1. Create a view on Unix and import the tag on Windows
  2. Start CTE on Windows and browse to the view
  3. Close CTE
  4. Remove the view on Unix
  5. Start CTE on Windows
  6. Open 'My View', error is returned, no other views are
  visible.
  
  
  WORKAROUND:
  - Run rgy_check -view -region ?region? to ensure there are no
  orphan tag
  - Kill the removed view server process
  - On Windows, if the view was local, reboot the machine
  - Stop the view in CTE before removing the view

  Fixed a ClearTeam Explorer issue, where CTE fails to show a
  single dynamic view, when only one of them is problematic.
  

Problem conclusion

• All 'good' views will be displayed even if a bad view turns
  up in the list
