I am facing Database timed-out issue while creating a view and/or rebasing a stream on vobs
ERROR -> cleartool: Error: Database timed out -- aborting tran
CCRC possibly means CC8.0.X+, but you would still need to access logs (that was cleartool getlog in previous CC versions, since you mentioned before using CC 7.1), in order to know more about that error message.
A "Database timed out -- aborting transaction
" usually is followed on the logs by the actual root cause (like, for instance, db_VISTA database error -926 - problem in shared memory lock manager
)
In the OP's case, it was (from this technote), a corrupt transaction file.
Error: db_VISTA error -925
