I wish to merge an activity with my activity, the former activity has new directories and new elements.

I am getting the following error on issuing a merge with the following command 

ct findmerge activityname@/vob/**  -fcsets -nc -merge

The errors are as follows in 2 cases

Case1: No new elements created directly the merge command

Errors

/vob/**/Build.mk  [checkedout but removed]
/vob/**/file1  [checkedout but removed]
/vob/**/file2  [checkedout but removed]
/vob/**/file3  [checkedout but but removed]


    cleartool: Error: Checked out version, but could not copy data to "/vob/siren/oam/sdh/pkg/Build.mk" in view: Permission denied.
Correct the condition, then uncheckout and re-checkout the element.

Case2: I created the elements and the directory structure still the same error

Note: There are no errors for the elements which already exist in the vob

Try again your findmerge activity (as described here), but this time, without using cleartool setview (meaning without using a path starting with /vob, the mounting point for the dynamic view set by cleartool setview).

Always use the full path of the destination dynamic view (the one where the merge occur): as I told you in your previous question, cleartool setview is nothing but trouble.

Use:

cd /view/yourDestinationView/vobs/siren
ct findmerge activityname@/vob/**  -fcsets -nc -merge

  • I am getting this error now on doing what you said `cleartool: Error: Unable to access "/view/siren_sdhx/vob/siren/oam/sdh/pkg/definition.pkg": not a ClearCase object` – Vinay Shukla Jul 18 '14 at 11:54
  • @yanivx do a `cd /view/siren_sdhx/vob/siren/oam/sdh/pkg/` and `cleartool ls`, to see the status associated to `definition.pkg` – VonC Jul 18 '14 at 11:56
  • Build.mk@@/main/siren_sdhx/CHECKEDOUT from /main/siren_sdhx/0 [checkedout but removed] definition.pkg@@/main/siren_sdhx/CHECKEDOUT from /main/siren_sdhx/0 [checkedout but removed] filelist.pkg@@/main/siren_sdhx/CHECKEDOUT from /main/siren_sdhx/0 [checkedout but removed] – Vinay Shukla Jul 18 '14 at 11:59
  • Can you try a `touch definition.pk` followed by a `cleartool unco definition.pk`, before trying the findmerge again? Maybe that file was checked out before. – VonC Jul 18 '14 at 12:05
  • Just to add I created a fresh stream and a fresh view followed with a merge no checkouts done before hand. BTW where can i find this definition.pk file – Vinay Shukla Jul 18 '14 at 12:10
  • @yanivx do you have the same error in the new view? – VonC Jul 18 '14 at 12:11
