Here is the full exception:

How would you troubleshoot that?

Answer 1

If there is some kind of permission issue, you need to check:

• what user is actually executing the Java call?
• What is its PRIMARY_CLEARCASE_GROUP (environment variable)?
  (As you found out in your question "Java CM api for ClearCase throw exception", CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP cannot be used with the CCRC CLI or, I suspect, with the Java CM API)

You need to make sure that user has a main ClearCase group within the groups (primary or secondary) of the Vob 'rainwater'

Answer 2

If you are 100% sure the user is already in the correct group, fixprot might help.
