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.
The following controls appear in the dialog box:
| Control name | Control description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of a resource to be restored. |
| Storage Path | The full path name to the resource. The path name is always in the copy area of a ClearCase view on the local host. |
| Select All | Selects all displayed resources. |
| Deselect All | Deselects all displayed resources. |
| Preview only. Do not load or update any resources. | Click to show a preview of the update resources operation for the currently selected resources. |
| Hijacked Files Handling | Specify how you want hijacked files to be handled. |
| Do not update hijacked files | Select this option to leave hijacked files unchanged. You can convert them to checkouts or unhijack them later. |
| Rename hijacked files with ".keep" extension and load selected version from VOB | Select this option to rename each hijacked file to filename.keep and then load the currently-selected version from the VOB. |
| Replace (overwrite) hijacked files with selected version from VOB | Select this option to overwrite each hijacked file with the currently-selected version from the VOB. Any changes to the hijacked files will be lost. |
| Apply | Confirms the operation and allows it to proceed. |
| Cancel | Cancels the operation. |
