Forms not showing in the guest accountAsked by Charlene Bernier on May 02, 2016 at 10:30 AM
I didn't originally realize it was created under a guest account (https://form.jotform.com/60844525927160) and now I need to make changes to it, but when I go to www.jotform.com/# which is where I was able to edit it for the past month, the form page now just shows black. It has already been published on my website - https://www.amdnext.com/new_supplier_application. Is there anyway I can get my form back?? Thanks

text: By Pete Najarian, co-founder of OptionMonsterNEW YORK ( OptionMonster) -- Medical device maker Zimmer ( ZMH) drew some attention from the bears Tuesday. Shortly after the opening bell, OptionMonster's real-time systems detected the purchase of more than 2,700 October 45 puts for 65 cents. The open interest was just 96 contracts, so this was new positioning. Zimmer's stock rose 0.82% Tuesday to close at $51.52. Shares have been drifting downward since the spring and are still just above their mid-August lows. For the puts purchased Tuesday to turn a profit, the stock would need to drop at least 14% by the Oct. 21 expiration. The company designs and manufactures orthopedic devices, dental implants, and related surgical products. It is scheduled to release earnings results on Oct. 27, less than a week after the options expire. More than 5,400 puts traded against about 1,000 calls. Total option volume was four times greater than average. Najarian has no positions in ZMH.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It was very handy to the hovercraft and main street. The breakfast was quite basic English cooking/produce. The decor of the hotel was in need of a revamp.
There was plenty of room as I had single occupancy of a twin room The decor in the public areas was worn and faded.
Hotel room was very clean and staff were very friendly and informative. Cofee making kettel was very old and rusty. I think, it's right time for the hotel manaagement to get new kettels.
Having a car park The room was cramped and had no central heating - it took most of the evening to warm the room sufficiently with the aid of the portable heater
Breakfast and service was nice
We were given the garden room and it was very good for us - lounge, bedroom, bathroom No
Cleanliness, Homely, Excellent Breakfast, Convenient for Ferry and Hovercraft access - only a short walk. Room on the small side but adequate nevertheless.
Good location All the listed amenities were present Worn-out furniture and decoration
Clean Hotel, room warm, plenty of choice for breakfast, friendly helpfull staff every thing to our liking
convenient to Town of Ryde Very basic - public areas very dated
The friendliness and helpfulness of the owner. The fact it was small and personal.
Staff friendly & helpful. Nice room. Yarbridge pub opposite very good for beer/evening meals. Very hard bed. Bedside lights too dim for reading in bed. 'DIY' breakfast arrangements too cramped causing people to queue up. Water urn for hot drinks needs filter as tastes of chlorine making tea undrinkable.
The Hotel was small but very good. The rooms were lovely and very clean. I would definitely stay again. Nothing
The atmosphere at the hotel was really nice and the facilities were great. The area around the swimming pool could be a bit newer.
clean rooms ,relatively quiet location,relaxed atmosphere,and a nice journey to town centres,with bus stops a minutes away
Room had everything you needed, kettle plus tea/coffee, etc, tv, fridge, etc. Bathroom was nice and spacious. Beds a bit too soft but clean! It had an outside pool but we were too busy really to take advantage of it. Breakfast was excellent, buffet style with lots of choice and warm hard boiled eggs, cheeses, etc. Definitely would stay there again. Can't think of any! Maybe wish it was a tad cheaper!!
the staff were very plesant and stayed in the background until needed the hotel was clean and welcoming
Made to feel welcome by Jan. Good explanation of all facilities. Only one problem, in room 9 the hot water in the basin did not work, very low pressure and no hot water forthcoming although not really a problem for us as we used the shower each time.
Convenient location of hotel. Helpful & friendly staff Not as rural as it appeared on the website, being at a busy junction. Access with heavy luggage slghtly difficult over uneven path.
Clean and comfortable room and a nice lounge with small outside terrace Continental breakfast was a bit limited - no fruit or cheese or rolls. Rule about not swimming alone meant I couldn't use the swimming pool.

21 December 1956, Abilene, Texas, USA. Bob Wills was a close family friend and Parnell sang on stage with him when he was only six years old, an incident he mentions in his 1993 song Country Down To My Soul. Growing up in a household that loved western swing, Parnell found that his own tastes included blues and rock n roll. He formed his own band when he was aged 19 and spent 10 years playing Texas honky tonks. In 1987 he moved with his family to Nashville and built up a reputation at the Bluebird Cafe. His first album was produced by R&B producer Barry Beckett and mixed soul with country. It did reasonably well but his career took off when he recorded Love Without Mercy with a small rhythm group. It included his US country hits What Kind Of Fool (Do You Think I Am) and The Rock (I am your rock, but Im rolling away) as well as a duet with Delbert McClinton, Road Scholar, a pun in...

The 24-year-old alt-R&B enigma Abel Tesfaye, voice of the Weeknd, returns for his biggest NYC show yet. Not all of Tesfaye's recorded music lives up to the deafening buzz he elicted upon his 2011 online emergence, but at its best (e.g., the Drake collaboration "Crew Love," a cover of MJ's "Dirty Diana," "Elastic Heart" with Sia and Diplo, and a handful of tracks from 2013's immersive Kiss Land), the Weeknd's output is both dizzyingly sensual and deeply unsettling.

This page is still under construction and rebuilding. You can find more information's here:
Ballet shoes are lightweight shoes designed especially for ballet dancing. For over 300 years, people have locked to the ballet to witness the grace, elegance and beauty of ballerinas. Aspiring prima ballerinas of all ages have access to beautiful and functional ballet shoes and slippers that will enhance their dancing and their outfits. Traditionally, girls wear pink ballet shoes while the men opt for black or white ballet shoes. Today however, many ballet dancers and dance companies are opting for tan or flesh colored shoes to give the illusion that the dancers are dancing barefoot.
When selecting the right ballet shoes for girls, it is important to consider the level of expertise, the fit and size, and the materials that are used. For beginning ballerinas, a basic shoe can help to develop proper technique and form. For intermediate dancers, softer shoes made of leather with split soles are recommended. Consult with your daughter's ballet instructor for advice on the right shoe for practices and performances. The fit is essential to prevent injury and permanent damage; change sizes as often as needed.
Construction Materials For Ballet Shoes
Today, ballet shoes are often crafted from soft leather, canvas or satin and most have a traditional leather sole. Ballerinas today can opt for a sole that is split providing greater flexibility when they point. Leather ballet shoes for girls are often preferred as they last longer and are more comfortable and durable. However, they are a bit more pricey than canvas or satin ballet shoes. The lesser expensive option of canvas shoes are a good choice for some that may not dance as often as they wear faster than ballet shoes constructed of leather. Additionally, canvas shoes breathe better than leather ballet shoes which are a concern in areas with higher humidity and heat. Typically, satin ballet shoes are only worn in recitals or performances as they can soil and wear very quickly. Ballet shoes are secured to the foot with elastic, typically a band of elastic crosses the foot; some models have a double band of elastic in an X configuration.
The Fit Of Ballet Shoes
Ballet shoes for girls must fit properly to ensure that they have the stability and flexibility they need for practices and performance. An ill-fitting ballet slipper can lead to blisters and even slips and falls. When choosing the proper size, it is important to remember that the scale for ballet shoes differs from that of street shoes. Generally you should select a ballet slipper in 1 ½ to 2 sizes smaller than the typical street shoe size. When trying on a ballet shoe, stand in first position to determine if it is too tight or just snug enough. If the ballerina experiences her toes sliding forward, select a shoe one size down, and try first position again. If on the other hand if the ballet shoe is digging into the back of the heel or is uncomfortably tight, go up one size. You will know when you have found the right size as you will not have to tighten the string and the shoe stays in place and toes wiggle freely. Purchase a new pair of ballet shoes as the feet grow to prevent permanent damage and injury.
Soft Ballet Shoes
These are typically the first pair that all aspiring ballerinas wear and as they grow in age and mature as a dancer, they will always have a spot in the dancer's bag. Soft ballet shoes are designed to conform to the foot to build strength while practicing technique and proper form. When they fit properly, they are comfortable and durable. They can have either a split sole or a full leather sole. A split sole is separated at the ball of the foot and is ideal for stronger dancers when they pointe.
Pointe Ballet Shoes
Pointe, or toe shoes are constructed of stiffer and harder materials to support the foot. Unlike the soft ballet shoes, the sole of the foot contains a shank designed to support the arch of the foot. The box, or the top part of the shoe, is also constructed out of harder materials to support the toes and arch through a variety of medium to advanced movements and techniques. The fit of a pointe or toe shoe is critical; a poorly fitted shoe can result in injury or an inhibited performance. While these shoes are designed to be stiffer and provide more support, there must be a breaking in period where the dancer and the shoe become friends. The box needs to be broken in where the toes bend so that the dancer can rise in a releve and tendu. The shank, the stiffest part of the shoe must be broken in to allow flexibility but still maintain the arch support dancers require.

Jenny Joseph
Warning - Poem by Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

The resort is an oasis of peace and relaxation nestled in a splendid 25-hectare lush, tropical garden, thanks to the microclimate along this brief tract of coastline. The temperate climate of all Sardinia is extremely mild, but the southern part of the island benefits from a truly extraordinary sub-tropical microclimate. The resort, shaded by tall pines, is protected from the cold winds of the North thanks to a chain of low mountains just up-country. Sardinia is called the pearl of the Mediterranean, but as well as being one of the most beautiful islands in the Mare Nostrum, it is one of the richest in history and tradition, in flavours and aromas.

One in a series of notes on agricultural policy issues of interest to Canada. As the remaining agriculture-related NAFTA clauses became fully implemented on January 1st, 2008, there is much evidence of the Agreement's benefits to all three members in the forms of the agricultural trade expansion within the region and the growth of foreign direct investments in members' agri-food value chains.

NAFTA: OUTCOMES, CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS Agricultural Policy Issues Vol. 2, No. 2 One in a series of notes on agricultural policy issues of interest to Canada. This note draws on analysis from a number of institutions, listed on pages 5-6. INTRODUCTION Most of the NAFTA pertaining to the agricultural sector is actually structured as three separate bilateral agreements. Mexico signed separate agreements with Canada and the U.S. while the agreement between Canada and the U.S. was largely a continuation of 1 CUSFTA . Each of these agreements, while liberaliz- ing trade in general, also contained trade restrictions for specified commodities in the form of tariffs and st tariff-rate quotas (TRQ). On January 1 , 2008, the final phases of the agriculture-related NAFTA clauses came into force. Below, we first discuss NAFTA institutions and processes. We then review NAFTA effects on trade, investment and domestic policy formulation. Ongoing challenges are then examined before we close with a discussion of NAFTA?s future prospects. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) NAFTA INSTITUTIONS AND PROCESSES st came into force on January 1 , 1994.

Several tetracycline concentrations were evaluated to determine if invasion induction was dependent on dose, or if the presence of tetracycline at any level would be effective. Three concentrations of tetracycline that did not inhibit growth of any of the isolates were chosen to study (1, 4, 16 μg/ml). The tetracycline-induced invasion response in the three isolates was only observed at 16 μg/ml. The induction of invasion by tetracycline is a dose dependent response.

Growth curves
Growth curves for each isolate were determined by diluting overnight cultures 1:200, growing to early-log phase (OD600 = 0.15), and adding serial dilutions of tetracycline (0–256 μg/ml); this corresponds to the early-log growth phase to be tested, and was necessary to determine the effect of the antibiotic at this time point. Cultures were shaken continuously, and growth curve measurements (OD600) were taken every hour for 24 hours using a Bioscreen C instrument (Growth Curves LTD, Raisio, Finland). Differences between the no-antibiotic control and the other sample conditions during the logarithmic growth phase (0–9 hours) were determined by a one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-test using GraphPad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA).
Experimental conditions
The effect of tetracycline during early-log growth phase was examined using overnight cultures that were diluted 1:200 in LB, subcultured into four tubes, and grown to OD600 = 0.15. An aliquot was taken for RNA analysis from each culture and placed in RNAProtect (QIAGEN, Germantown, MD). Tetracycline was then added to a final concentration of 0 (control), 1, 4, and 16 μg/ml to the four tubes for each isolate, and these were incubated with agitation at 37°C for 30 min (final OD600 = ~0.30). Aliquots for RNA analysis were taken from each bacterial culture and placed in RNAProtect. An additional aliquot was taken from each culture for a cell culture invasion assay. To test the effect of tetracycline during late-log growth phase, each overnight culture was diluted 1:200 in LB, split into four tubes, and grown to OD600 = 0.15. An aliquot was taken for RNA analysis from each culture and placed in RNAProtect. After these cultures grew to OD600 = 0.60, tetracycline was added to a final concentration of 0 (control), 1, 4, and 16 μg/ml to the four tubes for each isolate and incubated with agitation at 37°C for 30 min (final OD600 = ~0.70). Aliquots for RNA analysis were taken from each bacterial culture and placed in RNAProtect. An additional aliquot was taken from each culture for a cell culture invasion assay. All experiments were performed four separate times.
The aliquots taken following the 30 minute incubation with and without tetracycline were centrifuged at 16,000 x g for 2 minutes, and the pellets were re-suspended in fresh LB broth to remove the antibiotic. Invasion assays were performed with technical replicates for each biological replicate using a gentamicin protection assay in HEp-2 cells at a multiplicity of infection of ~40 as previously described
Real-Time PCR assays
RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germantown, MD), and genomic DNA was removed using the Turbo DNase DNA-free kit (Ambion, Austin, TX) according to the directions from the manufacturers. Total RNA was quantitated on a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE). Reverse transcription was carried out using the Applied Biosystems High capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit on total RNA using random primers (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), and technical replicates were performed for each biological replicate. Real-Time PCR was performed in a Bio-Rad CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System (BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) using the SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Primer sets were used to evaluate the 16S

text: Company Outlook"Through most of 2012, the outlook for our company was focused on the number and timing of mine expansion projects that could provide upside opportunity to our order run rate," continued Sutherlin. "This quarter's decline in aftermarket orders expands the focus. We evaluate our aftermarket on a sequential basis as well as year over year because of the quick turn of orders into shipments. The sequential decline in aftermarket orders from the fourth quarter was concentrated in three regions, and was a mixture of anticipated softness and timing issues. We had expected near term softness in aftermarket orders in Australia, as customers there cope with margin pressure from lower commodity prices and increasing costs. Although the cost increases were largely from non-operating factors, such as capital expenditure overruns, increased taxes and adverse exchange rates, miners deployed broader efforts to reduce costs. This has primarily resulted in reduction of general contractor activities, but also slowed decisions on normal parts and services that we provide. The resulting order reductions are not sustainable, and we expect aftermarket order rates in Australia to return to normal. We also had sequential aftermarket order rate declines in markets that have strong outlooks, but these are due to timing. South America is a region with our strongest outlook, and yet timing issues significantly reduced this quarter's aftermarket orders. Aftermarket order rates for Africa were slowed by labor unrest despite a number of projects in progress to increase production of both coal and iron ore. These three regions—Australia, South America and Africa—accounted for most of this quarter's sequential decline in aftermarket orders, and we believe these markets will recover. These examples indicate that our aftermarket orders may continue to experience variability until demand reduces the supply surplus that currently exists in a number of commodities. While some regions have underperformed, we are seeing encouraging signs from the U.S. coal market. After four quarters of sequential decline, both original equipment and aftermarket orders stabilized over our first quarter. U.S. aftermarket orders have declined more than end-use consumption as our customers reduced the parts inventories they hold at mine site and stretched the time between rebuilds. Parts orders should continue to return to end-use consumption levels, and delayed rebuilds require increased work and therefore their impact is mostly timing.

In a surprising move announced today, Chandos Records and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra have signed a new recording agreement, which includes three new CDs starting this summer, with a live recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade. The upcoming live CD was recorded at Roy Thomson Hall in June of last year.
After eight releases on the TSO's own in-house label (TSO Live), one wonders if this news means a shift away from producing their own CDs? Have the sales been too low to substantiate the investment in their own label? We can only speculate. At any rate, Chandos certainly know what they are doing, and this looks like a good move.
The CD is scheduled to coincide with the TSO's summer European tour and will be released digitally on August 5, with physical copies available in the US on August 26, and later in Canada on August 29.
Details on the next two CD have yet to be released.
"Chandos Records is delighted with this new collaboration with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra," stated Ralph Couzens, Managing Director of Chandos Records, in the press release. "TSO Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis, and, more recently, TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian, have a distinguished history with both the orchestra and with Chandos Records. Chandos has produced many acclaimed recordings with both artists and looks forward to future projects with the superb Toronto Symphony Orchestra."
Chandos Records is an independent classical music recording company based in Colchester, UK. The company is a one of the most renowned classical music labels in the business, and have exclusive recording partnership with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Richard Hickox (multiple Gramophone winner with Chandos recordings) and pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet – to name a few.
At last count, the TSO recording catalogue consists of over 145 releases with such labels as CBC Records, RCA Victor, EMI, Analekta and others. You can see many of them listed here.

Target: President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud of Somalia
Goal: To call for justice for tortured, beaten refugees in Somalia
Government security officials and armed groups have been accused of raping, torturing, and beating displaced refugees in Somalia. These refugees have been fleeing to Mogadishu, the Somalian capital, in an effort to escape social and political turmoil and violence. These individuals should not be confronted with new paradigms of conflict in their efforts to escape those of old.
In a very detailed report, Human Rights Watch outlined "serious violations, including physical attacks, restrictions on movement and access to food and shelter, and clan-based discrimination against the displaced in Mogadishu from the height of the famine in mid-2011 through 2012. Interviews with 70 displaced people documented the ways in which government forces, affiliated militia, and private parties, notably camp managers known as 'gatekeepers,' prey upon the vulnerable community."
These refugees are especially susceptible to these violations as long as the Somalian government remains complicit with these kinds of actions. The government must do something fast in order to secure the safety and security of these refugees who are simply trying to escape violent origins. Unfortunately, as of now, they are departing from atrocity only to end up in similar situations.
Many of these victims are women and girls who face increased sexual abuse in the Somalian refugee camps. The exact number of sexual attacks is largely unknown because many cases go unreported because these victims fear reprisal if they bring their situation to light.
Many of the gatekeepers, who are guards in the refugee camps, are corrupt and take the goods provided by humanitarian groups for themselves. Because of this, famine is a very real problem in the refugee camps as there are simply not enough goods to be allocated accordingly to everyone. As one refugee put it, "There is nothing worse than the situation we are in. Now all we want is to get a car and return to our villages, because if I can die here because of lack of food, I might as well die in my village, because death is death." This quote clearly defines the hopelessness that characterizes these Somalian camps.
These refugees are coming to Somalia to escape violence and famine only to enter into a new realm of brutality and hunger. The Somalian government needs to correct this deep error if they hope to occupy a seat in the international community. Opening the doors up to individuals seeking asylum is one of the many principles of being a member of a global community.
Sign below in order to urge the Somalian government to correct these instances of abuse, and initiate a system wherein the flaws of their refugee process are eradicated to allow for the safety of these refugees.
Dear President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud,
The refugees currently occupying your camps are dealing with a number of atrocities that no one should ever have to face. Many individuals have undergone a variety of abuses ranging from sexual assault to extremely violent beatings. The security forces that have caused these instances need to be identified, charged, and terminated from the institution.
A number of corrupt officials who are in charge of allocating humanitarian-based resources towards the refugees have been taking the goods for themselves. This has left many of the camps in danger of famine, leaving refugees facing starvation.
All of these flaws need to be corrected in order to foster a nation intent on preserving the safety of refugees in need.

CCRC login results in "The server cannot be contacted" error
Technote (troubleshooting)
Attempts to log on to the CM Server from an IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) results in the error "The server cannot be contacted. Please contact your system administrator".
- When you try to connect to CM server from CCRC you receive the error:
The server cannot be contacted. Please contact your system administrator.
However, the same users can browse to the URL through a Web browser and see the following message which verifies that the Web service is running. http://stp.rational.ibm.com/ws/teamservice}Team
Hi there, this is a Web service!
- When you try to login to a CM server with CCRC, the CM server fails after the login succeeds.
Error message from CCRC client:
The server cannot be contacted. Please contact your system administrator.
CRVAP0220E Conflict error: CRVSV1090I RPC server has unexpectedly exited. Any un-saved work may has been lost.
Corresponding error message on the server side:

There are various possible causes for this issue which include the following:
To verify this:
- Type set in a command prompt.
- Make note of where C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common is located.
- If it is towards the bottom or end of the system Path, this may be the cause.
Note: The positioning of C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common in the above path.
For example, you entered http://myserver or http://myserver:12080.
For the error "CRVAP0220E Conflict error" noted in the symptom above:
The region mapping may be missing the default region, and the group mapping was restricting access in a way that was fitting the symptoms, for instance, the group memberships of the succeeding and failing accounts.
Diagnosing the problem
Additional Troubleshooting tips:
- Verify that the problem is not caused by an authentication issue as described in
technote 1226161 Unable to authenticate using PAM from CCWeb, MSWeb or CCRC clients
- Check the CM server logs for errors reporting memory allocation issues.
To verify this check the CM server system log found at:
Default path Unix: /opt/rational/common/CM/profiles/cmprofile/logs
Example: /opt/rational/common/CM/profiles/cmprofile/logs/server1
Default path Windows:
C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\CM\profiles\cmprofile\logs
C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\CM\profiles\cmprofile\logs\server1\SystemOut.log
Here is a snippet from this log when the CM server does not have enough memory available:
Caused by: com.ibm.rational.stp.server.oncrpc.OncrpcServer$StartupException: CRVSV0202E Unable to start server: ccrpc.sh: java.io.IOException: Cannot
allocate memory at com.ibm.rational.stp.server.oncrpc.OncrpcManagedConnectionFactory$Base
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:246)
For Cause 7
The following error will be seen in the logs (note that the first entry actually shows the login of the failing user as having succeeded, even with the failure):
[4/2/10 21:26:46:125 EDT] 00000024 CMLogger I com.ibm.rational.stp.server.cc.CcProxy doLogin CRVSV0900I ClearCase login of user 'DOMAIN\test' onto server 'ClearCase - 2.7428' succeeded.

$BaseServer testIfDied
CRVSV0212I Initiated cleanup of failed backend ONC RPC server ID: ClearCase - 2.7428
Running a tool like Process Monitor will also clearly show ACCESS DENIED errors when attempting to write to the temp location.
Resolving the problem
Solution for Cause 1
Move the path to the common directory toward the beginning of the variable.
This can be done from the GUI:
- Right-click My Computer
- Choose Properties
- Select the Advanced tab
- Choose Environment Variables at the bottom of the window
- Modify the PATH variable such that C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common is towards the beginning of the path.
- After that change is made, type set in the command prompt to verify the change is correct. It should look similar to this:
Path="C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin";"C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common";"C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\clearcase\etc\utils";C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\;C:
Solution for Cause 2
Add more memory to the CM server.
Solution for Cause 3
Use the correct form of the team URL as described in technote 1329952: About the Web Server URL for CCRC 7.1. For example:http://myserver/TeamWeb/services/Team
or http://myserver:12080/TeamWeb/services/Team
Note: The URL http://hostname:12080/TeamWeb/services/Team is case sensitive.
Solution for Cause 4
Review technote 1403562: Windows 2008 64 Bit CM Servers fail logins when CCRC clients have primary group preference enabled for additional details about APAR PK91671.
Solution for Cause 5
Ensure that the ClearCase license files exist and contain correct information.
Check for the /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/flexlm_host
file to see if it exists and has the correct contents.
If ATRIA licenses are being used, check to see if the license.db file exists and contains the license keys.
Also, check for the existence of the /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/license_host file which should contain the hostname of the license server.
Solution for Cause 6
Move the user region map file (and change the path value in the ccrcUserRegionMapfile mBean) to a common area. Avoid storing it in IBM Application directories as those could be modified or removed during upgrades/installations.
For the error " CRVAP0220E Conflict error":
Add the default mapping.
Solution for Cause 7
Ensure that the CCRC temp directory is writable by all users who will be logging on remotely.
Note: CM Server will try to write to the following locations for temp storage (in this order):
- Location specified by ccrcTempDir mbean value.
- Location specified by TEMP environment variable (generally the system TEMP location will be used, unless the WAS service is running under different credentials -- in which case, that user's TEMP variable location will be used instead).
- On Windows, the root of the C: drive.
Solution for Cause 8
Review technote 1224586: System Requirements for the ClearCase Remote Client for information about client and server requirements.
Solution for Cause 9
Move the file to another location to free disk space and restart the server.
