The relocate command moves a designated set of elements from one VOB (the source VOB) to another VOB (the target VOB)-typically, a new VOB created for this purpose. The relocate command does all of the following:
Moves elements from one VOB to another, including these:
Data containers
Event histories (some minor events are lost)
Bidirectional hyperlinks (see also mkhlink)
Related VOB database records
Creates VOB symbolic links from the source VOB to the target directory, generally preserving the source VOB's namespace for views bound to specific, preexisting versions of relocated elements.
Copies metadata types associated with moved elements to the target VOB, as necessary (label, attribute, element, trigger, and hyperlink types).
Leaves behind an event history for each relocated element-a remove element event in the source VOB, and a relocate event in the target VOB.
Creates a log of its activities-by default, in the file relocate.log.date-time in the current directory.
relocate does not do the following:
Relocate elements when either the source or the destination VOB is a UCM VOB.
Copy elements; it moves them. (relocate is not a backup tool.)
Move elements to a new location in the same VOB. (Use cleartool mv for this purpose.)
