I created a snapshot view using Rational ClearCase explorer.
After creating it, I tried compiling my code and got an MVFS error:
Unable to determine if the current working directory is in MVFS - no such device or address
When I searched the IBM website for the sake of eliminating this error, I found out that a snapshot view does not use the MVFS.
Why am I getting this error when Snapshot view does not use MVFS?
The path is xmalviv_view/NBA_axess_aup2/refsys/aup/aup61
A snapshot view is only accessible through a full local host path:
cd C:\path\to\snpashotview
clearmake is generally linked to and used in dynamic view (see "Derived objects in Clearcase").
Seeing that error message is not a surprise if you use it in a snapshot view and expect certain clearmake features:
The distinctive features of
clearmake, such as build auditing, derived object sharing, and build avoidance, are supported in dynamic views only.
Recently there was a development in the solution of this issue !! We escalated this issue to IBM with the help of our client. They suggested us to use Dynamic views and we used them. To our surprise it was working fine and we are able to generate the executables. But the fact still remains that we are not able to use snapshot views !!
