How do I move a ClearCase view to a new domain?
We are in a situation where we have successfully moved a VOB from domain A to domain B (the ClearCase server is running on Windows and we are using only one ClearCase server). We are now trying to change the view permission to prevent new views from being created, but it seems they are still on the same domain.
I tried
fix_prot -force -replace ...vws
fix_prot -root -rec -chown -chgrp ...vws
It works well with no errors, but when I try to look at the properties it is still at \ username
Can you advise? We only use snapshots
thank

For snapshots or dynamic views, the utility is used as follows: fix_prot
fix-prot -force -rec -chown newUserName -chgrp newGroupe -chmod 775 /path/to/view/storage.vws
fix-prot -force -root -chown newUserName -chgrp newGroupe /path/to/view/storage.vws
I never use -root -rec: always -rec
on the one hand, -root
on the other.
Note two warnings:
It is recommended that Windows ClearCase services be disabled prior to running the utility
fix_prot
.
This ensures that no files are opened by ClearCase processes that might otherwise be missed during the execution of the utility.Note. If you run
fix_prot
if there are anyAdditional Groups
that were part of the list of VOB groups, running this command will delete those groups.
As a result, you will need to run a commandprotectvob
to add these additional groups back to the VOB.
