Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote details the restriction for removing an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® UCM stream that has already delivered a baseline.
Symptom
The following errors occur when trying to remove the stream with a delivered baseline and then trying to remove the baseline.
Error removing the stream:
U:\pvob>cleartool rmstream deproj3_15910
Remove stream "deproj3_15910"? [no] yes
cleartool: Error: Cannot remove stream that has baselines.
cleartool: Error: Unable to remove stream "deproj3_15910".
Error removing the baseline:
U:\pvob>cleartool rmbl deliverbl.deproj3_15910.20010507.110622.215
Remove baseline "deliverbl.deproj3_15910.20010507.110622.215"? [no] yes
cleartool: Error: Cannot remove baseline that has been delivered.
cleartool: Error: Unable to remove baseline
"deliverbl.deproj3_15910.20010507.110622.215".
Cause
This is expected behavior.
The delivered baseline cannot be removed from a stream for a live project, so the stream cannot be removed either.
Resolving The Problem
The decision was made by Product Management to exclude the requested feature from future upgrades and releases due to the significant architectural changes required to implement the new functionality.
WORKAROUND:
Lock obsolete the stream.
cleartool lock -obsolete stream:<stream>
Example:
U:\pvob>cleartool lock -obsolete stream:deproj3_15910
