Learn how to complete the semi-live reformatVOB process.
About this task
The semi-live reformatVOB process takes a couple of minutes to many
minutes to complete depending on how many outstanding transactions must be processed. Before
starting the complete process, use the
cleartool reforamtvob -semilive -status
<vob_stg_path> command to see the number of transactions that must be processed.
Procedure
To complete the semi-live reformatVOB process:
- The administrator executes the command: cleartool reformatvob -semilive -complete <vob_stg_path>
- VOB is now locked to prevent any further changes.
- A Complete message is sent to the db_replay_server, which
instructs the db_replay_server to replay all the outstanding transactions and
then exit.
- When all the transactions are completed, cleartool stops all the processes using this
database and then move the database directories:
- Existing db directory is moved to
db.pre-semilive.<month>.<day>.
- Directory db.semilive with a schema 81 database, is moved to
db.
- The VOB is unlocked and ready for use.
