Don't want to put down the commercial software bashers but who do you call to support your 'solutions' ? Rational has good customer support available anytime. We now have CCase clients running on the 7 platforms we port our software to, and clean integration with CQuest, a defect tracking product. Rational's products are expensive but management sees their solutions as supportable even when turnover ( and RIFs ) dilute the company's knowledge base. Not trolling, on to my suggestion.
One thing you can try is mounting your dynamic view from your server directly to your linux box. This is what we use for unsupported kernel levels, assuming your server is *nix.
Create, or modify, a dynamic view to be MVFS exportable with the '-nca' flag. Then when you use command 'cleartool lsview -long ' you will see 'View export ID (registry): 1'. On your CCase server, then use command '/usr/atria/etc/export_mvfs -I 1/view//' to share this MVFS drive. Example: usr/atria/etc/export_mvfs -I 1/view/john/vobs/test. At this point you can mount this view/VOB combination like it is a shared NFS drive.
Good luck, John

The CCase commands are:
o cleartool lsview -long yourviewname /usr/atria/etc/export_mvfs -I 1 /view/yourview/yourvob
o
Get the number to pass to '-I' from previous command
