Not able to Set View in Base clearcase

Question

I am not able to set view on the server even though I have re-mounted the file system , getting below error :

$ cleartool setview view_name
cleartool: Error: Timed out trying to start view_server for view PATH
cleartool: Error: See view server error log and/or look for view_server problem on host Hostname
cleartool: Error: Couldn't set view tag tagename: error detected by ClearCase subsystem

Answer 1

First, try to avoid *enter code here: it spawns a subshell which is tricky for your current session and environment variables.

Then, check if the issue us the same when you simply try to start that dynamic view:

cleartool start <aDynamicViewName>

Typically, looking at the logs might tell you more about the issue:

cleartool getlog error *
cleartool getlog -host <clearcaseServer> view

(Remember: you had database timeout before)
