Clearcase CMI Integration mkcmprovider command doesn't recognize -options

I am using BASE Clearcase with CMI integration. In the mkcmprovider command, if I use -options, then the command fails due to unrecognized token called '-options'. But the Clearcase 8.0x manual says that the -options keyword is valid inside mkcmprovider. Following is the VERSION information of my server:

   M:\DevView\Test>cleartool -version  
   ClearCase version 8.0.1.00 (Mon May 27 15:08:54 EDT 2013) (8.0.1.D130526)  
   @(#) MVFS version 8.0.1.0 (Wed May 15 14:57:16 2013)  
   cleartool                         8.0.1.0 (Wed May 15 21:46:14 2013)  
   db_server                         8.0.1.0 (Wed May 15 18:40:45 2013)  
   VOB database schema versions: 54, 80

Following is the error: 

   M:\DevView\Test>cleartool mkcmprovider -brtype main -replace -options ciVerifyPr
ov:true,ciVerifyUser:true,reqProvTask:true CQPROV  
   cleartool: Error: Unrecognized option "-options"  
   Usage: mkcmprovider {-vob vob-selector | -replica replica-selector} `enter code here`[-replace]

Make sure to actually type the '-' of '-options' instead of copying it from the IBM documentation for cleartool mkcmprovider.

The doc has only has a minus instead of the hyphen-minus.

However, in this case, -options is only supported from 8.0.1.5: see the 8.0.1.X release notes.

What's New

This release introduces the following features.

Change management interface (CMI)

The following enhancements to CMI are introduced in this release:

  • CMI supports the configuration of Rational Team Concert state transitions; for instructions, refer to Configuring CMI for Rational Team Concert state transitions.
  • The mkcmprovider command supports policy configuration for base ClearCase and UCM; for complete information, refer to the command reference page.
  • ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) supports CMI independent of the RTC bridge for dynamic views only.
