Integrating Hudson with UCM Clearcase on windows machine

Question

I've installed Hudson on my windows machine and trying to integrate it with UCM Clearcase (the repository we are using).
There are no help docs available on Hudson wiki to explain how to do that.

• I select New Job --> Project Name
• I give as Test --> select Build a free style software project --> click Ok
• --> This leads me to Configure Project screen
• --> Under Source Code management I select UCM Clearcase
• --> I give a dynamic view name I've already created and the name of the integration stream (in stream selector)
• --> Under Advanced options I select "Use UCM dynamic view" and give view root as M:\ and in "Windows dynamic view storage directory" I give \\Hostname\CC_Views\MyTestView.vws.

Now I run the project to check if the fetch in working properly or not and I get this error:

[advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test] $ cleartool pwv -root M:\advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test
[workspace] $ cleartool startview advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test 
[advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test] $ cleartool setcs -tag advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test -stream
cleartool: Warning: Config spec OK, but unable to tell view server to load.
cleartool: Warning: View server should be restarted.
cleartool: Error: Unable to change configuration specification: Permission denied.

Nothing has been fetched into C:\Hudson\jobs\Test\workspace.

Can someone please guide me in this?

Thanks, Umang

This is usually symptomatic of an ACL issue.

You need to:

• make sure what user are actually running the Hudson Jobs (and with what CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment value)
• check the view protection

    cd m:\advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test
    cleartool lsview -l -full -pro -cview

If the user differ, you need to reprotect the view

fix_prot -force -r -chown rightUser -chgrp rightGroup -chmod 775 \\Hostname\CC_Views\MyTestView.vws.
fix_prot -force -root -chown rightUser -chgrp rightGroup \\Hostname\CC_Views\MyTestView.vws.

fix_prot is in c:/Program Files/rational/clearcase/etc/utils for CC7.0 or less, or c:/Program Files/IBM/RationalSDLC/clearcase/etc/utils for CC7.1 or more.

Note: it is strange that a view called advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test has an associated view storage called MyTestView.vws.

I would have rather expected a \\Hostname\CC_Views\advcm3_LAC_FN38_Test.vws.
