When a CLM server is renamed, the links from element versions
to RTC tasks need to be updated in some cases.
About this task
Preview changes to the links before making any changes
and verify the changes after making them.
Procedure
- Referring to RTC administration documentation, complete
the CLM server rename procedure.
- If the bridge is used with UCM streams only, no further
action is required. Also, if the VOB is at a schema version earlier
than 80, or its feature level is 6 or lower, no further action is
required. Use cleartool describe to verify the
schema version and feature level of the VOB; for example, cleartool
describe –long vob:.
- Notify users that links between element versions and RTC tasks are to be updated due to the
renaming of the CLM server. Inform ClearCase-RTC bridge users that they must suspend their work, but that other users can continue to work as
usual.
- At each VOB where
element versions are linked to RTC tasks,
- Use clmutil list to list links that
are to be updated.
- Use clmutil replace –preview to
preview changes to the links and verify their correctness.
- Use clmutil replace (omitting the –preview option)
to update task links in the VOB.
- As an additional check on the correctness of the updated
links, use cleartool describe on element versions
that have links to RTC tasks.
- If the VOB is replicated, and if some branches for task-linked versions are mastered at other
replicas, repeat Step 4 at those replicas.
- Notify users that they can resume their work.
Results
Element version links to RTC tasks refer to the new location
of the CLM server.
