Defect Number |
Description |
CMBU00041212 |
Corrects a defect introduced in ClearCase 4.0 caused checkout of the current working directory to fail if that directory was reached by traversing a VOB symbolic link. |
CMBU00048520 |
Corrects a problem with the view_sr utility. |
CMBU00048419 |
Supports the use of a new environment variable on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms. If the user environment variable CLEARCASE_GROUPS exists for any user, ClearCase will consider the semicolon-separated list of groups specified in the value of this variable first when determining (or displaying) which groups a user belongs to. For example: CLEARCASE_GROUPS=DOMAIN\ClearCase Users;DOMAIN\group1;DOMAIN\group5 The list can contain domain or local groups, and need not contain the group specified in CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP, which is already treated specially if it has been specified. If the user is a member of additional groups not specified in CLEARCASE_GROUPS, ClearCase will consider those groups after it has considered the groups listed in CLEARCASE_GROUPS, up to a limit of 32 groups. Any user who is a member of more than 32 groups (domain or local) should set CLEARCASE_GROUPS to specify which of these groups ClearCase should consider when checking the user's access rights. CLEARCASE_GROUPS is not supported on Windows 98 or Windows me. |
