When a resource in a ClearCase view is in an unknown state, it
means there is a disagreement between the client and the server about the
state of the resource. You must restore the resource to resolve the disagreement.
Before you begin
You must connect to a Rational ClearCase server to restore a resource.
About this task
Discordance (disagreement between the ClearCase server and ClearCase
Remote Client about the state of a resource) can be introduced when the client,
the server, or the network that connects them shuts down abruptly, or when
resources in a ClearCase view are modified without first being checked out
or hijacked. Resources affected by discordance are listed in the ClearCase
Details view with a State of Discordant.
Use
the Restore Resources operation to correct discordance.
- Select the resources that you want to restore. You can
select individual resources or an entire ClearCase view. (Restoring a resource
that is not in an unknown state has no effect on the resource.)
- To open the Restore Resources dialog box,
take either of the following actions:
- Select from the ClearCase menu.
- Select from the element context menu or from the view context menu.
- Specify restore options in the dialog box and then click Apply.
