I had a dynamic view and I started a re-base operation on that view, then before doing a cleartool rebase -complete I removed that view accidentally!

Now the problem is that I cannot do a rebase -complete or rebase -cancel in another view attached to the same stream.
How can I resolve this issue, I get the following error:

cleartool: Error: No tag in region for view "00000000.00000000.0000.00:00:00:00:00:00".
cleartool: Error: Unable to start view "".
cleartool: Error: Unable to cancel rebase.

With cleartool rebase, you can try and resuming the operation with a new view (which should be attached to the same destination stream)

cleartool rebase -resume -reset -view aNewUCMView

that would be using the option:

-reset -vie/w new-development-view_tag

Resets the target view to a new development view.
Use this option should the target view become inaccessible.

As in "Can't resume or rebase stream on snapshot view on windows":

I would recommend for that new view to be a dynamic one, instead of a snapshot one: it is quicker to start and succeed/fail, and you can do multiple tests without waiting for the view to update itself (update being done only in a snapshot view).

If you see:

cleartool: Error: The view cannot be retargeted because 
the current integration activity "rebase.STREAM_NAME.20141124.170858" 
has checkouts.

You will have to unco everything (see first "How to find all checkedout files with ClearCase cleartool?"), and then:

cleartool rebase -cancel -reset -view aNewUCMView

  • Old CC 7.0.x required quite a few ops to cancel a rebase (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21146614). But if you are using a more recent ClearCase, you shouldn't have to resort to those. – VonC Nov 25 '14 at 09:52
  • I am getting this now: cleartool: Error: The view cannot be retargeted because the current integration activity "rebase.STREAM_NAME.20141124.170858" has checkouts. – Vombat Nov 25 '14 at 10:00
  • Is there a way to cancel all my checkouts everywhere using one command? – Vombat Nov 25 '14 at 10:04
  • @coffeMug it is important to try and resume first. Don't cancel any checkout unless you are sure you want to cancel the rebase itself. – VonC Nov 25 '14 at 10:06
  • Do you know a command to list mycheckouts in the current view? – Vombat Nov 25 '14 at 10:07
