RTC: Unable to create symbolic link during load on AIX

Kun Xu (1●1●1) | asked Feb 26 '13, 2:27 p.m.
Hi,

I have a question about load on AIX to my GSA directory. I opened a CCO ticket and was pointed to here. I
copied the contents in COO here. Thank you for you help.

Hi,

I loaded this workspace to my windows machine before, but I completely unloaded and deleted it from RTC client and tried to load it again to my GSA directory from backstreets(AIX). I have never done anything with this workspace under Linux.

All the symbolic links in that workspace had that problem. /admin/linux_ppc to plinux is one of them.

Have you used this workspace with linux and now you are trying to use it with AIX?

Hi,

I have a workspace that loaded to my windows machine and the beginning. Then I unloaded and deleted it completely from my RTC client, and tried to load it to my AIX(backstreets) machine. But seems RTC stores some information about the underlying platform and failed to load the symbolic link on AIX.

Commands used on AIX:
-- AIX
export PATH=/gsa/tlbgsa/projects/c/cttools/java/aix/jre/bin:/gsa/tlbgsa/projects/c/cttools/rtc/aix/jazz/scmtools/eclipse:$PATH

lscm list workspaces -r https://compjazz:9443/jazz
lscm load 1060 -r https://compjazz:9443/jazz

Machine:
uname -a
AIX backstreets 1 6 00C586B04C00

AIX should be able to create these symbolic links.

Has this install of the scmtools (/gsa/tlbgsa/projects/c/cttools/rtc/aix/jazz/scmtools) been run previously by root or another user?

There is a problem where if the scm tool is run as root, the some configuration files/folders are initially set up by eclipse as owned by root.  Then later when you run the scm tool as a normal user, this user does not have permission to access these files/folders.  This would prevent the tool from loading the native library it uses to work with symbolic links.


Also, perhaps not relevant, but you have two installs of the scm tools on your path? 
export PATH=/gsa/tlbgsa/projects/c/cttools/java/aix/jre/bin:/gsa/tlbgsa/projects/c/cttools/rtc/aix/jazz/scmtools/eclipse:$PATH
export PATH=/gsa/tlbgsa/home/t/i/tiabuild/jazz/scmtools/eclipse:$PATH

Thank you Andrew for you answer.

I talked to our admin, and she mentioned that:

"So far you are the ONLY one that is having this problem so I will assume all setup for scm is correct."

I am not sure about how the scm tools installed, but at least it worked for all other people.

I was just told that there is a bug to load to GSA directory. I will try to load to a normal directory see if the problem is still there.

 What I have found is the symbolic link problem is usually from mixing 64 bit and x86 libraries.  Usually from a 64 bit JRE and x86 Eclipse or vice versa.

Tried load directly to AIX directory, still not working.

 BTW I tried to load another workspace to GSA directory and it worked fine.
