Lost replica-creation packet

If you discover that there is a lost replica-creation packet, you can rename the new replica and then rerun the original mkreplica command.

About this task

To recover a lost replica-creation packet:
  1. At the replica where mkreplica –export was run, rename the new replica:
    
    cleartool rename bangalore@/vobs/dev bangalore-old@/vobs/dev
    Renamed replica from "bangalore" to "bangalore-old".
    
  2. Reenter the original mkreplica command.
  3. After synchronization between the exporting replica and the new replica is working, remove the renamed replica:
    multitool rmreplica bangalore-old@/vobs/dev
    Deleted replica "bangalore-old".
    
The following procedure is simpler, but the rmreplica command may take a long time if you have a large VOB:
  1. At the replica where mkreplica –export was run, use rmreplica to remove the new replica.
  2. Reenter the mkreplica command.
