Having checkout(s) to a view that is no longer available or accessible is very common.
Here are some steps on how to remove the references in the VOB database.
Note: Only run this procedure if the data contained in the view (the checkouts) are no longer needed or if the view no longer exists. This operation performs an uncheckout in the VOB database for all elements that were related to the view. If a view still exists and you use the procedure below to delete records relating to it from any VOB, make sure that the view is removed immediately.
MULTISITE CONSIDERATIONS:
If removing the view checkout references from a replicated VOB, the rmview command should be run at the site where the view checkouts were originally performed.
See if you are running 2002.05.00 and have a problem removing references to the VOB.
Refer to the rmview section of the ClearCase Command Reference Guide for additional information about the usage of the rmview command.
PROCEDURE:
1. First you need to determine what the UUID is of the old view.
a. COMMAND TO RUN IF THE VIEW EXISTS:
From the command line you will need to run cleartool lsview -long and find the view and copy its uuid number.
If you have more than one region, you may have to add the -region option to the lsview command designating the non-current region name.
Example:
cleartool lsview -long TEST
Tag: TEST
Global path: \\MYHOST\VIEW\TEST.vws
Server host: MYHOST
Region: Your_Region
Active: YES
View tag uuid:fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4
Text mode: unix
View on host: Your_Host
View server access path: C:\VIEW\TEST.vws
View uuid: fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4
View owner: MYDOMAIN\user1
b. COMMAND TO RUN IF THE VIEW HAS BEEN REMOVED:
From the command line you will need to run cleartool describe -l vob:\ and find the view and copy its uuid number. Example:
cleartool describe -long vob:\baseccvob
versioned object base "\baseccvob"
created 04-Oct-04.16:48:26 by user1.group1@MYHOST
VOB family feature level: 4
VOB storage host:pathname "MYHOST:C:\CC_Store\vob\baseccvob.vbs"
VOB storage global pathname "\\MYHOST\cc\vob\baseccvob.vbs"
database schema version: 54
VOB ownership:
owner MYDOMAIN\user1
group MYDOMAIN\group1
VOB holds objects from the following views:
MYHOST:C:\VIEW\TEST.vws [uuid a7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4]
Attributes:
FeatureLevel = 4
Hyperlinks:
AdminVOB@687@\baseccvob -> vob:\proj_1
2. The next step is to remove all the references to the VOB (which will perform the uncheckout).
COMMAND TO RUN:
From the command line you will need to run cleartool rmview -uuid -avobs to remove all the checkedout references from all VOBs in that region.
Example:
%cleartool rmview -uuid fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4 -avobs
Removed references to view "fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4" from VOB "\VOB1".
Removed references to view "fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4" from VOB "\VOB2".
Removed references to view "fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4" from VOB "\VOB3".
Removed references to view "fa7fc590.42f34d53.ae68.b6:30:f5:30:c5:a4" from VOB "\VOB4".
3. The last step is to verify if the references have been removed from the VOB.
Use the command invocation from 1b (cleartool describe -l vob:\) to ensure the checkout are gone.
If the references have not been removed, follow the instructions in .
Note: If a directory has been unchecked out, then all new elements created when it was checked out are no longer referenced by that directory. Consequently, they were all moved to the lost+found directory.
To restore these files from the lost+found directory, please refer to .
