The Clearcase polling mechanism relies on the existing build view to check for changes. It has logic such that if no builds exist for a project, it flags that changes exist without using any view. This works well for the initial build of a project.

However if the build view is removed for any reason, polling will continuously fail as it will not create the view itself, and builds won't run as polling doesn't report changes.

A workaround is to manually trigger a build.

If the "Create view if view doesn't exist" option is checked, the plugin has the required information to create the view, and polling should create the view as required to function normally. It would be good to also handle the case where the build view becomes corrupted.
