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
If you do not have the native ClearCase client installed,
you must connect to a ClearCase server to restore a resource.
About this task
Discordance (disagreement between the ClearCase server
and Rational ClearTeam Explorer 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 ClearTeam Details view
with a State of Discordant.
Use the Restore Resources operation
to correct discordance.
Procedure
- 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.
- Right-click on the discordant resources and select from the element context menu or right-click on the
name of the view that contains the discordant resources and select from the context menu.
- Specify restore options in the dialog box and then click Apply.
