Resolving disagreements (discordance) between client and server

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.

  1. 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.)
  2. To open the Restore Resources dialog box, take either of the following actions:
    • Select Refresh > Repair Discordance from the ClearCase menu.
    • Select Refresh > Repair Discordance from the element context menu or Refresh > Repair > Discordance from the view context menu.
  3. Specify restore options in the dialog box and then click Apply.
