Answer 1

I usually use fix_prot (see "About fix_prot")

On Windows:

doskey fp=c:\Rational\ClearCase\etc\utils\fix_prot.exe -force -chgrp "TheNewGroup" -chown yourID $*
fp -rec -chmod 775 \\path\to\view\storage\yourID\yourView.vws
fp -root \\path\to\view\storage\yourID\yourView.vws

On Unix:

alias fp=/path/to/ClearCase/etc/utils/fix_prot -force -chgrp "TheNewGroup" -chown yourID
fp -rec -chmod 775 /path/to/view/storage/yourID\yourView.vws
fp -root /path/to/view/storage/yourID/yourView.vws

Note that if the group of the PVob has changed, you might have to change the group of the project, stream and associated branch as well.

cleartool protect -chgrp "YourNewGroup" stream:yourStream@\aPVob
