Clearcase mvfs error while running the build in windows dynamic view

793 Views Asked by At

I have the following error while running the build in the dynamic view. It looks like an mvfs caching problem.
The build succeeded after I ran it few times but what might be the problem behind it?

Considering the objects which are troublesome in the private storage area (.s) of the view storage are .exe, it is possible it is linked to some kind of process keeping an handle on said exe, and preventing ClearCase to properly access them.

It is best to use two dynamic views: one for accessing data, and one for building data, in order to use one for read/access and execution, and the other for write access and compilation.

This old thread mentions restarting the albd_server service can help.
That is also akin to stopping / restarting the view (cleartool endview -server).
