I can create ClearCase UCM component from ClearCase project explorer but can't create it through command line.
This is what I have used:

cleartool mkcomp -nc -root /vobs/spider1_pvob/bat1 bat1@/vobs/spider1_pvob
cleartool: Error: Unable to resolve component root directory "/vobs/spider1_pvob/bat1": ClearCase object not found
cleartool: Error: Unable to create component.

What would be the correct command to use for creating this component?

I always create a component in a ClearCase view, using a vob and not a pvob for the root directory.
So in your case, you would need to have:

  • a dynamic view started 
cleartool startview myView
  • the vob mounted:
cleartool mount /vobs/spider1_vob
  • that same view set: 
cleartool setview myView

(that ways, /vobs reflects the content of the view myView)

Once your view is properly started and set, then you can do

cleartool mkcomp -nc -root /vobs/spider1_vob/bat1 bat1@/vobs/spider1_pvob

Note that I use a vob /vobs/spider1_vob/(bat1) for the root directory, even though the component (which is an UCM metadata) is declared in a pvob: @/vobs/spider1_pvob

See "What are the precautions to be taken while creating a clearcase component?" and "cannot see pvob on clearcase GUI?" for the difference between a pvob and a vob:
The root directory of a component should be in a vob, not a pvob.

  • A pvob contains the definition of a component.
  • A vob contains its data (files and directories)

I use a dynamic view here, since the only way for a path starting with /vobs is in Unix, after a cleartool setview.

If you don't set a dynamic view, you can still use it with the full path:

/view/myView/vobs/spide1_vob

(since /view is the mounting point for all the dynamic views)
