cleartool: Error: Permission denied: not VOB owner or priveleged user. cleartool: Error: Trouble loading versioned object base

Performed fix_prot on a VOB database dump from Linux into Windows. Fix_prot said the re-protection was complete. So, I tried to run a cleartool reformatvob - load and receive the following: cleartool: Error: Permission denied: not VOB owner or priveleged user. cleartool: Error: Trouble loading versioned object base .

Don't understand why it's still not letting me load the VOB.

It is one limitation of the cleartool reformatvob command:

You must have one of the following identities:

  • VOB owner
  • root (UNIX and Linux)
  • Member of the ClearCase administrators group (ClearCase on Windows)

I usually perform a load as root (on Linux), or, in your case on Windows, as a member of the ClearCase admin group. Then I do a cleartool protectvob to change the vob ownership.

In that order, it works.
