Cancel delivery or rebase reports error: Cannot cancel because the integration activity "deliver.stream000928.143521.20010815.164413" has checkins

Resolving The Problem

The first step is to find out which file(s) were checked in on the integration stream.

Look at the change set of the integration activity -- (in this case deliver.stream000928.143521.20010815.164413). Which ever file versions have been checked in have to be removed from the change set using the cleartool rmver -xhlink <version-pname> command before it is possible to cancel the deliver.

Example:

Note: The X:\ is the Development View for this particular instance.

1. Describe the activity in the error from the cancel operation and look for the versions that are not checkedout where the version extended path name does not have a CHECKEDOUT suffix:

• X:\>cleartool deliver -cancel
  Cancel deliver
  FROM: stream "stream000928.143521"
  TO: stream "Integration_12623"
  Using integration view: "Test_Project_integration".
  Are you sure you want to cancel this deliver operation?  [no] y
  cleartool: Error: Cannot cancel because the integration activity "deliver.stream000928.143521.20010815.164413" has checkins.  You must remove the checked in versions then redo the cancel OR resume the operation.
  cleartool: Error: Integration activity "deliver.stream000928.143521.20010815.164413" has checkedin
  versions.  You must manually remove these versions from the change set.
  cleartool: Error: Unable to undo checkin.
  cleartool: Error: Unable to cancel deliver.

2. Remove these versions:

• X:\>cleartool rmver -xhlink \Comp_2\class@@\main\Integration_12623\1
  Removing these versions of "\Comp_2\class":
  \main\Integration_12623\1 (has: hyperlinks)
  Remove versions?  [no] y
  Removed versions of "\Comp_2\class".
  
  Please note that if time has elapsed since the partial deliver, it is possible that the checked in version(s) may have been included in a baseline. IBM Rational support strongly recommends that you complete the deliver rather than cancelling it. If you must cancel the deliver then you would need to run "cleartool rmver -xhlink -xlabel \Comp_2\class@@\main\Integration_12623\1

3. If using a ClearQuest® database that integrates with UCM, a checkvob command will need to be run to ensure that data inconsistency will not occur between UCM and ClearQuest.

• Syntax:

cleartool checkvob -hlink -fix activity:activity_name@\PVOB


• Example:

X:\cleartool checkvob -hlink -fix activity:deliver.stream000928.143521.20010815.164413@\PVOB

4. Cancel the delivery:

• X:\>cleartool deliver -cancel
  Cancel deliver
  FROM: stream "stream000928.143521"
  TO: stream "Integration_12623"
  Using integration view: "Test_Project_integration".
  Are you sure you want to cancel this deliver operation?  [no] y
  Deliver of stream "stream000928.143521" canceled.
