Restore Resources

Restore resources to correct disagreements between client and server about resource state. Such disagreements are called discordance.

Restoring resources in a ClearCase view ensures that the view's resources and their states reflect the information held by the ClearCase Web server that supports the view. Restore only corrects discordance. If you restore a resource that is not in a discordant state, restore does nothing. To update a resource, use the Update Resourcesdialog box.

Note: You can perform selective updates to specific resources by selecting the resources before right-clicking and choosing Refresh > Update from Repository
