Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
In IBM Rational ClearCase, when you run cleartool protectvob with more than one option, -srfm, -atomic_checkin and -evil_twin, it only execute one and silently ignore the others.
Cause
The cleartool protectvob options -srfm, -atomic_checkin and -evil_twin are mutually exclusives. The cleartool protectvob code currently loops over a list of VOBs and not over the list of commands. The utility checks for protectvob actions in the order below and runs the first action that matches the list.
- mod_master
- remote_admin
- atomic_checkin
- srfm
- evil_twin
- group_p
- User_p
Resolving the problem
Run the protectvob command separately for each option.
EXAMPLE
Do not run the following command.
cleartool protectvob -srfm -atomic -evil <vob>
Run the following three commands sequentially instead.
cleartool protectvob -srfm <vob>
cleartool protectvob -atomic <vob>
cleartool protectvob -evil <vob>
For more information on the protectvob command, refers to the reference manual : cleartool protectvob
