text_file_delta failed create_version operation in

Question

Continuing my previous post: Provide version to independent files in clearcase. Now I able to execute clear case import command but with some errors. Following are some errors occurred while import:

clearfsimport: Error: Could not checkin "E:\CC_Work\FromCC\santosh_view57\Temp_TEST\AspNET\Scripts\WebForms\MSAjax\MicrosoftAjax.js".
clearfsimport: Warning: Trouble importing element "E:\CC_Work\FromCC\santosh_view57\Temp_TEST\AspNET\Scripts\WebForms\MSAjax\MicrosoftAjax.js".
Creating element "E:\CC_Work\FromCC\santosh_view57\Temp_TEST\AspNET\Scripts\WebForms\MSAjax\MicrosoftAjaxApplicationServices.js".
Created branch "TEST_TEMP" from "E:\CC_Work\FromCC\santosh_view57\Temp_TEST\AspNET\Scripts\WebForms\MSAjax\MicrosoftAjaxApplicationServices.js" version "\main\0".
clearfsimport: Error: Type manager "text_file_delta" failed create_version operation.

Following is my import command:

clearfsimport -rec -nset -comment "Commit test" F:\abc\ASPNET* E:\CC_Work\FromCC\santosh_view57\Temp_TEST\ASPNET

And config spec is following:

element * CHECKEDOUT

element * .../TEST_TEMP/LATEST

element * /main/LATEST -mkbranch TEST_TEMP

element * /main/LATEST

load \Temp_TEST

Same file is able to check out and check in using "ClearCase Expoler" GUI.

You might need to change the type manager associated to js files, as their content could not always be compatible with what a text_file_delta manager expects.

See "Type manager text_file_delta failed create_version operation" for concrete examples.

This technote lists the limitations which makes a text file fail:

• Type manager size limitation - File too large
• Text files that contain binary data - Contains a '\000'
• Line exceeding 8000 bytes
• Corrupt source container - not the highest on its branch

I have seen issue with the first 3.

If you have to change its type, see this technote.
