Packet is not applicable to any local replicas

A synchronization import can fail when a replica has been moved and the host-name property has not been updated with the chreplica command.

You should receive a message like this:

multitool: Error: Sync. packet pathname is not applicable to any local VOB replicas.

To verify that the host-name property of a VOB replica is wrong, enter the following command:

cleartool describe –fmt "%[replica_host]p\n"
replica:importing-replica-name@VOB-tag

For example:

cleartool describe –fmt "%[replica_host]p\n" replica:newyork@/vobs/tests
manhattan

If the host name is incorrect, use the chreplica command to change it. At the master replica of the importing replica, enter a chreplica command:


multitool chreplica –c "comment" –host new-host
 replica:importing-replica-name@VOB-tag

For example:

multitool chreplica –c "change host name" –host brooklyn
replica:newyork@/vobs/tests
Updated replica information for "newyork".

Send an update packet to the other replicas in the family.
