Renaming a VOB replica

You can change the name of a VOB replica using either the cleartool rename command or the DevOps Code ClearCase® Properties Browser.

About this task

When you rename a replica, the change is made immediately at the current replica. The change is not propagated to other replicas in the family until you export an update packet from the current replica and the packet is imported at the other replicas.

You must make the change at the replica's master replica. For other restrictions, see the rename reference page in the DevOps Code ClearCase Command Reference.

To rename a replica using the rename command: 
cleartool rename –c "site name" replica:original@/vobs/dev replica:boston_hub@/vobs/dev 
Renamed replica from "original" to "boston_hub".

Procedure

  1. Display properties of the replica. See Displaying properties of a VOB replica.
  2. Enter a new value in the Name field.
  3. Click OK or Apply.
