FishEye: ClearCase initial indexing very slow

[Sascha Herrmann]

Hi!

I have a newly set-up FishEye/Crucible (2.6.1) running. Indexing of the CVS repositories was a walk in the park.

Now, I also have three ClearCase repositories (which we will migrate to SVN or Perforce later this year).

The initial indexing of the first VOB never completes, it seems.

In the log I see entries like:

2011-07-13 04:27:45,410 DEBUG [InitialPinger1 MedoraNative_CC] fisheye.app ClearCaseRepositoryScanner-processBranch - Finished Branch atlserver_vendor_branch

If I read this correctly, then it took almost 10 hours, for one branch. So ... two branches a day ... at that speed, the initial indexing will take weeks. What am I missing here? I tried snapshot and dynamic views, no noticable difference. Is that normal?

Thanks for raising a support case for this issue. It has now been fixed and will be included in the 2.6.3 release.

[Sascha Herrmann]

Thanks. That's first class customer-supporting.

Be aware that Atlassian has dropped support for ClearCase/Fisheye !

Forgot to add that the CPU of java.exe during the indexing is at 100%. The cleartool instance used pratically idles.
