If a ClearCase Check Out or Check
In operation would fail because a ClearCase branch was
mastered remotely in ClearCase MultiSite, use this option to request
branch mastership.
Before you begin
You must be connected to a Rational ClearCase server to request
branch mastership.
About this task
To request branch mastership from the ClearCase Version
Tree:
- Right-click the ClearCase element and selectShow
Version Tree from the context menu.
- In the ClearCase Version Tree, right-click the branch that
is mastered remotely and selectRequest Mastership.
Results
The user receives notification that mastership has been
requested and then, once the local replica has imported
the packet, the user receives notice that mastership has been granted.
Once mastership has been granted locally, the user should refresh
the version tree before performing the check out or check in operation
that required branch mastership.
