Error while creating BranchType in Clearcase 7.1.2 using CM API through Web View

Question

I am getting error while creating BranchType in Clearcase 7.1.2 using CM API through Web View

Following is my method for creating BranchType :

static void createBranchType(String branchTypeName, CcProvider provider, String repositoryName) throws WvcmException
{       
    CcBranchType newBr = provider.ccBranchType(provider.userFriendlySelector(Domain.CLEAR_CASE, Namespace.BRTYPE, branchTypeName, repositoryName));
    newBr.doCreateCcBranchType(null, null);
}

After running this code I am getting following exception :

CRVAP0236E (not-allowed): Unable to perform operation makeCcResource (CcBranchType.doCreateCcBranchType) on 'cc.brtype:NewBRJava': operation not allowed. ...com.ibm.rational.stp.ws.schema.ErrorFault:

I am stuck with this error from lat 5 days. I searched a lot on IBM forum and on google also but still no success.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I solved it finally. The error was because of incorrect repository tag. I was passing the repository name but it requires the repository tag name (VOB tag) in method userFriendlySelector(Domain.CLEAR_CASE, Namespace.BRTYPE, branchTypeName, repositoryName). This should be VOB tag.
