I've done a search for this particular case and have found no resolutions. I have a developer who has a file checked out (reserved) in a snapshot view on his PC. He is currently out of town and someone else needs to check out that file. How can I as the vobadmin change that reserved checkout to an unreserved checkout?
If that cannot be done, how can that file be "unco"?
If I need to remove that checkout, will the following command remove all checkouts in that particular view?
[center]"cleartool rmview -tag -uuid <UUID> -avobs"[/center]
What command syntax would be used to just remove that checkout only?
Thanks in advance for responses.
If you can get on the PC that the user was on then you can go to the view.
Since it is a SSV then it depends where the View Storage dir is.
If you have access to the View Storage dir then use the "-view view-stg-dir" option in the unreserve command, if not then you may need to rmview from that VOB only to remove the objects held by that view+vob combination.
The "cleartool unreserve <element>" command didn't work; the indication said something along the lines of "could not find checkedout version of <file>." I also ran a cleartool lsview -l > view_list and that particular snapshot view did not show up. I don't know exactly why, but it was active on the user's PC.
Still stuck :(
Try "cleartool unreserve {element}" as the vobadm.
Getting rid of the view is excessive but you can get rid of the CO's held by that view in a specified VOB but that is also heavy handed. Since it is a snapshot view, Identify all the CO's and save the files that have been changed, when the user gets back they will be able to merge their changes as needed. I suggest the "unreserve" path.
