Hi Jes! Me again :o)
Totally forgot. You being an expert in the plugin, what is the reason for the "endview" before the "setcs"? Our IT pinpoints this as the problem, although I don't see why there should be an immediate timeout in the first place. The commands issued earlier by the plugin start the view_server just fine. It seems to me more like a CC issue. The plugin is just calling cleartool after all. Maybe it's a timing issue, the view_server process for the view still in the process of going down, and at that very time the attempt to start it again?! I have no other explanation for an immediate timeout. But that's just guesswork of course. Thanks for your reply. Sascha Am Montag, 23.
