Administering DevOps Code ClearCase®
Learn about performing administrative tasks for a DevOps Code ClearCase® community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, ClearCase server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Moving VOBs and relocating VOB data
DevOps Code ClearCase® includes tools for moving data and metadata to another VOB and for moving entire VOBs to another disk or host. You may need to use these tools to reorganize VOB directories, redistribute data storage, or rebalance server loads.
Relocating elements to another VOB
The cleartool relocate command moves elements to another VOB.
After elements are relocated
Verify that the relocated elements are visible in the views that need to use them.

After elements are relocated

Verify that the relocated elements are visible in the views that need to use them.

About this task

Although the relocate command leaves behind symbolic links to keep the VOB namespace consistent, always check existing views, build scripts, triggers, and any other tools that require access to the relocated elements. Update these views and tools to access relocated elements at their new location, rather than relying on symbolic links.

Note: Because nonversioned DOs are not relocated (they are instead removed, as if by rmdo), they must be rebuilt. Relocating any element causes any DOs that include the element as a dependency to be rebuilt.

For more information about troubleshooting problems that may arise after relocating elements, see Fixing problems with existing views after relocating elements.
