This patch contains the following software changes:


C150618:

   Problem: multithreaded albd_server crashig due to race condition between two threads working with same client. Also signal handler is logging error with non-main thread.

   Fix: rcleartool lsview -long on an inactive automatic view will now provide all view information that can be gathered without restarting the view and complete with a successful exit code.  No error message appears.


PH44576:

   Problem: Using the ClearCase Admin Console GUI (ccadminconsole) during the selection of a view-tag or vob-tag a "MMC snapin error dialog" may pop up

   Fix: On the select of the view-tag or vob-tag in the ccadminconsole, the properties dialog of the tag is displayed as a separate process


PH51767:

   Problem: Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2017 UI shows 'loading symbol' as mouse pointer for several minutes when integrated with ClearCase

   Fix: Reduced the network requests being made for each element.


PH52494:

   Problem: Unix user format is different from windows domain qualified name. Windows user format contains domain prefix so that it assumes both the users are different and checking out new license for same user.

   Fix: Before checking out the license, removing the domain name to make identical to non-domain usage if user is same.


PH52579:

   Problem: ALBD Service name is displayed as Atria.

   Fix: It's now updated to display "IBM Rational ClearCase".


PH53037:

   Problem: Upon opening "ccadminconsole -> My Host" in IBM Rational ClearCase versions 10.0.0.x users will see a popup (or in the status field at the bottom of the window) the following message:
Host <HOSTNAME> is running ClearCase version <VERSION NUMBER>. Not all remote administration features are available in this version of ClearCase.


   Fix: ClearCase version <VERSION NUMBER> checks were corrected.


PH53181:

   Problem: Unable to pull the mastership of VOB element in ClearCase Explorer

   Fix: User will be able to see the data on "Request Mastership" window.


PH53619:

   Problem: While converting multibyte stream to wide character, the output parameter was not updated when "\0" is passed as input and this variable was having the old value. The condition to break the loop was based on this variable and it was never coming out of the loop. This was the reason for hang.

   Fix: Initialized the local variable to '\0' before converting the input to wide character, so that it will not retain the old value.


PH53707:

   Problem: View created using "use private branch" function with view profile throws error attempting to display view profile in properties GUI.

   Fix: The "use private branch" function (with view profile) now functions properly.


PH54057:

   Problem: While processing files with long lines, NULL character (\0) is encountered before EOL due to over looping a NULL filled array. So typemanger errors out considering this as error data.

   Fix: Long line processing has been corrected.


PH54334:

   Problem: MVFS was initializing the file size using a structure that could not be correctly set up under specific conditions, mainly under high stress with parallel accesses. This was leading memory manager to incorrectly deal with memory mapped files, resulting in zeroed pages.

   Fix: MVFS now sets the file size using a different structure that contains the correct information. This makes memory manager to request the file data to MVFS during a page fault on memory mapped files.


PH55197:

   Problem: Out of support Visual Studio 2010 runtimes are being installed by ClearCase.

   Fix: The Visual Studio 2010 runtimes are no longer installed by ClearCase.
