  59 <h3> Vob move problems</h3>
  60
  61 <p>First problem with the move of these vobs was that vobadm's password had changed. Therefore I had to perform this vob move in an unfamilar environment. Also, ownerships and permissions on these vobs are odd as they were done before we started standardizing things. As ccadmin1 I was eventually able to copy the vob storage but was not able to register these vobs at the new location.  Attempts to do so would fail with </p>
  62
  63 <div class="code">
  64 cleartool: Error: Failed to record hostname "rtnlprod01" in storage directory<br>
  65 "D:\vobstore\EntData_ARCH.vbs". Check that root or the ClearCase<br> administrators group has permission to write to this directory.<br>
  66 </div>
  67
  68 <p>Even after changing ownerships this was still failing. I suggest we take soem time to get the ownerships and permissions standardized on these vobs in the Genuis region before we attempt to move them again (that and perhaps doing some test moving...)</p>
  69
  70 <h3>Vobadm password problems</h3>
  71
  72 <p>AFAICT somebody changed the vobadm password. Now I'm not pointing any fingers however nobody in our group did and the only other group who knows the vobadm password is...  Well you fill in the rest! Anyways, for some reason at about 3 Pm that somebody must have changed the password back.</p>

 160                               <h3>M drive problem appears to be a networking problem at Eric's location</h3>
 161
 162 <p>Today Eric sent over somebody to install and setup Weblogic on my desktop in an attempt to reproduce the problem with Jbuilder writing to the M drive. After much installation, setup and configuration the problem was not reproducable. IOW it worked like a champ from my desktop.</p>
 163
 164 <p>During the installation we copied over the VIP sources instead of using the sources in the vob and we got these from Eric's desktop. It took a very long time leading me to further believe that there are networking problems either on Eric's desktop or somewhere between his desktop and the servers.</p>
 165
 166 <h3>Condensed Client release areas to one release area</h3>
 167
 168 <p>On //rtnlprod03/CC_REL_2003.6 there exists the following client release areas:</p>
 169
 170 <ul>
 171
 172 <li>Training-client</li>
 173 <li>asap-tavant-client</li>
 174 <li>resolve-client</li>
 175 <li>asap-integration-client</li>
 176 <li>eag-client</li>
 177 <li>scc-client</li>
 178 <li>asap-qa-client</li>
 179 <li>pmo-client</li>
 180 <li>vip-client</li>
 181
 182 </ul>
 183
 184 <p>and a server area:</p>
 185
 186 <ul>
 187
 188 <li>pmo-server</li>
 189
 190 </ul>
 191
 192 <p>TUP exists at //rtnlprod03/sqldb/TUP and XDE-Java at //rtnlprod03/sqldb/XDE-Java.</p>
 193
 194 <p>The Clearcase client and server installation areas have all been condensed to one Server and one Client installation area (//rtnlprod03/CC_REL_2003.6/Server and Client). Instead we now have .reg file that set the uniquely different configuration settings for the various groups in the CM_TOOLS vob under etc with names like ASAP.reg, SCC.reg, EAG-ESB.reg. After a client install we will send a link to these files that will cause the settings to be installed on their desktop.</p>
 195
 196 <p>Currently the various client reg files have only the setting of Region, RegBackup and CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP.</p>
 197
 198 <h3>Attempted to access LDAP through Perl</h3>
 199
 200 <p>I installed Perl modules to deal with LDAP in the hopes of being able to set up a web page that will list out the membership of the various CC groups from Active Directory. Trouble is I do not know the server name of Active Directory nor the <i>distinguished name</i> to use in order to access this data.</p>

 221 <li>Finished reregister script. This script will reregister all vobs and views that were based on rtnlprod02. This is needed since the new server will not have the same IP address as the old server.</li>
 222
 223 <li>Changed mktriggers to use ccperl unqualified instead of fully qualifying it. This will allow the triggers to work on the servers as well as the clients</li>
 224
 225 <li>Added FAQ entry describing view private and derived objects</li>
 226
 227 <li>Fixed the FAQ pages. Mike had switched rtnlprod02 over to using rwp. This broke the FAQ pages since they used Apache under Cygwin. Reported rwp to the old FAQ pages.</li>
