clearcase: root user cannot do chview or endview or reformatview

Question

Gets a "Permission Denied" error. Ideally root should have all permissions, should it not?

Answer 1

It might be a good to start with the basics:

• Where is the view hosted?
• Where is the view stored?
• Can the view owner reformat the view? Run chview?
• Where are you attempting to run endview/reformatview? And with what options?

In some cases, particularly when you are running the commands from a host that is not the view server, root may be blocked from certain operations if remote administration has been disabled.

Answer 2

View owner can do chview, endview for reformatview we need to have Clear Case admin privilege
