Cannot add files to source control in Clearcase Client machine

Question

I have set up one Clearcase server, one Clearcase client, both on Windows XP. And created the following local groups and users.

Machine A (Clearcase server)

Group: Clearcase Admin - User: ccadmin

Group: Clearcase User - User: ccadmin, ccuser

Machine B (Clearcase client)

Group: Clearcase Admin - User: ccadmin

Group: Clearcase User - User: ccadmin, ccuser

Then I logon machine B with ccuser, I checked out source code successfully, but when I try to add new files to source control, it prompted the following error:

No permission to perform operation "make branch" Must be one of: member of element group, element owner, VOB owner, member of Clearcase group

p.s. I check in/out source code with Clearcase plugin in RAD

I added CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP to environment for my account in both machines, but another error shows up

Now the group "Clearcase User" is in the VOB list, is the error due to the different hostname?

Answer 1

You need to describe the vob into which you try to add to source control

 cleartool describe -l vob:\YourVob

And make sure your CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP refers to one of the groups (primary or secondary) listed by that command for the vob.
