Symptom The following errors occur when you attempt to either unable to find albd_server start a view or create a view. Windows Example: # cleartool startview my_view

view tag my_view: ClearCase object not found The server to which the view is stored does not have the ClearCase ALBD service running. UNIX / Linux Example:
# cleartool mkview -tag mtest /net/server/views/my_view.vws
cleartool: Error: Unable to contact albd_server on host 'remote server'
cleartool: Error: Cannot bind an admin_server handle on "remote server": cleartool: error: couldn't set view tag clearcase object not found ClearCase object not found.
cleartool: Error: Unable to create view "/net/server/views/my_view.vws". Cause Possible causes for the error: The view is being stored in a mounted directory, but the system that the mounted directory is stored on does not have ClearCase running or installed. If ClearCase is installed, there might be an issue with MVFS on that host. (Windows) This error can also result if the network password for the "Atria Location Broker" service account (by default: clearcase_albd) has been changed. Resolving the problem Solution 1 Check your configuration performing following steps: Investigate the host where the view storage resides ensuring that ClearCase is running and for dynamic views, that there are no problems with the MVFS. Check if ClearCase is installed and started on each server host that is in use in a ClearCase environment, unless you are using alternate protocols like ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) or ClearCase Web (CCWeb).

Cause After upgrading to version 2003.06 Service Release 4 and following the restart results in the below error: rgy_upgrade.exe: Error: Unable to contact albd_server on unable to host 'myhost'albd_contact call failed: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = [WINSOCK] Connection reset by peer These errors are produced while rgy_upgrade waits for the ClearCase Atria Location Broker (albd) service. The albd service may not have been started prior to the rgy_upgrade command being run. The rgy_upgrade command is run once automatically after a error unable to restart following the Service Release 4 upgrade. Since it can not be predicted which order the Windows Services start, rgy_upgrade may be started before the albd server process is started. In most cases, the albd service will start in time for the rgy_upgrade to proceed and no intervention is required. Resolving the problem If you see the following message, you will need to ensure that the albd service is running and then run rgy_upgrade again: "The rgy_upgrade tool timed out waiting for the albd server. Please check system and albd error logs. When the issue is resolved, run rgy_upgrade to update the ClearCase registry entries for VOB replicas that reside on this host." Ensure that the albd service is running and then run rgy_upgrade as follows:
