Working Under ClearCase

[misha]

When working Under ClearCase, CVI (both IDE and RT) behaves erroneous.
Configuration:
ClearCase is configured to work with snapshot view on local disk. CVI is configured to use global SCC settings. All involved in project software is placed under the same root directory. VOBs are mounted to this root directory on local disk. Target application files-execution file and number of DLLs are not under SCC, but directory, which contain it is under the same root.
The observation:
When running the application, there is huge number of errors, which are not appeared without SCC.
CVI not debugs code: ignores breakpoints, breaks on "unknown" source position etc.
What's wrong?

Misha,

CVI uses a strandard scripting protocol to communicate with different SCC packages. Usualy this works transparently, I know some source control configurations will not allow you to compile any code unless you check-out the project but I'm not sure if this is the case here.

My advice is to try to check out the project in CVI and compile it from a local folder. You may also want to test you SCC configurations using another IDE to check some files out and verify how ClearCase is working.

Hope that helps.
