is it possible to have a copy of the vob in a different machine for testing purpose ?

I know I can move the vob to another server using moving a vob

But , doing this makes the vob unavailable at the original location. So, a live vob cannot be used this way as people would be accessing it from old location.

Yes, the "moving vob" procedure would still apply.
You only need to register it to a different registry server, and preferably with a different tag.
That means: no need for a -replace option:

cleartool register -vob \\vobsvr01\vobstg\libpub.vbs
cleartool mktag -vob -tag \libpub \\vobsvr01\vobstg\libpub.vbs

That way, the live vob remains accessible.

  • thanks.but why do you need a different tag as its a different registry server anyway? – user2636464 Feb 10 '15 at 16:21
  • @user2636464 you don't indeed. I just prefer in order to make sure and know on which Vob I am working on (the test one, or the actual prod one) – VonC Feb 10 '15 at 16:22
