Problem:

Adding an out-of-view folder throws error

Resolution:

  • Product Name: StarTeam
  • Product Version: 2006
  • Product Component: CPC - Add out of view folder
  • Platform/OS Version: All

Description:
When trying to add an out-of-view folder, an error is thrown:Internal view error: Cached share information is missingThis prevents a folder from being added in the folder tree at the desired location. In most cases it is only one folder that is affected.




Answer/Solution:
The problem that is causing this issue can vary, but most likely it is because the folder"s parent folder was deleted sometime recently. Maybe the folder was moved to be a sub-folder in another location, and the previous parent folder was deleted. Regardless of the root cause, a good workaround/fix is available.

1) Access the project/view and navigate to the folder in question.

2) Use Folder --> Properties to rename the folder to something different. A good idea is to just append "_old" onto the original name.

3) Create a new folder that is the same name as the original folder.

4) Move all the items from the old folder to the new folder. Make sure you move everything: files, CR"s tasks, etc.

5) Delete the old folder.

Perform these steps in this exact order and you will not lose any history, label attachments, links, etc. You will now be able to add out-of-view folders.
