Proper 'cleartool mkview' for ClearCase Snapshot view creation

Question

Good afternoon,

Seems like I am somewhat stuck in CC-land these days, but I have one (hopefully) final question regarding proper CC-handling:

When using the

Answer 1

cleartool mkview -snapshot -tag <tag_name> -vws \\<computer_name>\<views_folder>\<view_name> <path_of_localstorage>

Answer 2

This is usually due to the albd not running.
Actually, it is running, but ClearCase tries to contact the wrong host.

Here: Host-local path: Eh40yd4c:D:\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws is highly suspicious.

Try:

mkview -snapshot -tag battjo6r_view2 -vws \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -host Eh40yd4c -hpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws -gpath \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws battjo6r_view2

That is: hpath = gpath.

or, if the first command fails, also (it is simpler and may work)

mkview -snapshot -tag battjo6r_view2 -vws \\Eh40yd4c\Views\battjo6r_view2.vws battjo6r_view2

Hopefully, ClearCase could determine for itself the host, hpath and gpath.
