CCWeb; Error: Unable to open clearcase snapshot view registry:Permission denied

This technote explains why the error CCWeb; Error: Unable to open clearcase snapshot view registry:Permission denied occurs when trying to load a directory using a IBM® Rational® ClearCase® Remote Client or updating a CCWeb view.

Symptom

Getting the following error when attempting either of the following operations:

  1. Trying to load one directory using CCRC

  2. Updating a CCWeb view


Problems performing ClearCase operation:
CCWeb: Error: Unable to open clearcase snapshot view registry:Permission denied.


Cause

The following are possible causes for this error:

  1. Invalid characters are being used in file names being loaded (such as -_?*)
  2. The users home directory may not be mounted or cannot be accessed. There is also a file ".ccase_svreg" in the user's home directory which may not be accessible during the view update. Access to the .ccase_svreg file is needed to perform the update.


Resolving the problem

Solution for Cause 1

Remove invalid characters from the file names and retry.

Solution for Cause 2

Ensure that the user's home directory is mounted and that the permissions on the .ccase_svreg file are correct.

Refer to technote 1148996 Identify the snapshot view root location for further information about the .ccase_svreg file permissions.
