Stgloc/Code Page

  • Tried to figure out why -stgloc is not working in Richmond nor why I can't seem to create a view in a share that is in an area where .stgloc exists
  • Worked with Vin Ton and Rob Swindell regarding a problem with CQ Web and Code Pages
  • Worked on other code page issues
  • Added CharacterSetValidation package to PQA

Stgloc problems

Why does the following happen:

Local:mkdir \\\\fs-rmna-01\\viewstoreQA\\adefaria_test
Local:rmdir \\\\fs-rmna-01\\viewstoreQA\\adefaria_test
Local:ct mkview -tag adefaria_test \\\\fs-rmna-01\\viewstoreQA\adefaria_test
cleartool: Error: Attempt to get location information on "\\fs-rmna-01\viewstoreQA\adefaria_test"
failed: Invalid argument.
Local:ct mkview -tag adefaria_test \\\\ltsjca-adefaria\\views\\adefaria_test
Created view.
Host-local path: ltsjca-adefaria:C:\Views\adefaria_test
Global path:     \\ltsjca-adefaria\views\adefaria_test

I suspect that the problem is that this area is on a filer so Clearcase cannot determine where the view_server process should run. I believe that the only way Clearcase can figure out which server should serve the view_server process for this area is via the stgloc and that the stgloc for this area is not properly configured. Attempting to create views either through the command liine or the GUI using -stgloc viewstore or viewstoreQA also fail.
