Using SoftBench with ClearCase Views
SoftBench assumes that an absolute pathname always identifies the same, unique file.
Since absolute pathnames in different views can refer to different files, do not start any
SoftBench process from a shell that is set to a view. Use view-extended pathnames to
indicate the desired contexts. Before referencing files in a particular view, ensure that the
view is started using Start View.
CAUTION Do not attempt to communicate with SoftBench servers on other hosts
using view-extended pathnames. This may cause NFS deadlocks.
Error Conditions
SoftBench and ClearCase successfully talk with each other only if ClearCase and
SoftBench processes have the same value for the DISPLAY environment variable.
ClearCase tools generate an error message if the value for CLEAR_MSG_PROTO is set, but
the value for DISPLAY is not set or is incorrect. The Notice Forwarder process logs errors,
warnings, and other messages in the /usr/adm/atria/ti_server_log file.
• WDB-GUI
WDB-GUI is bundled with SoftBench. If you install both SoftBench and WDB-GUI on
your system, you can select WDB as your default debugger by performing the following
steps:
1. Start Softbench.
2. On the Options menu, choose Tool Preferences. This displays the Tool Preference
dialog box.
3. Under Select a Tool, choose Debugger.
4. Under Available Tools, choose WDB, and then click OK.
WDB is not tightly integrated with SoftBench. When WDB is running within SoftBench,
WDB responds to START, STOP, ICONIFY, NORMALIZE, LOAD, and SET-BREAKPOINT
requests from the SoftBench tools. It does not honor program settings configured in the
SoftBench main window and does not make requests to other tools.
• COBOL SoftBench
COBOL SoftBench is no longer supported. If you install SoftBench 6.X, COBOL
SoftBench will be removed from your system.
