Multiple PVOBs and feature levels
For environments that implement multiple PVOBs, the first PVOB must be at feature level 3 or higher. Adhering to this rule avoids a situation that UCM software cannot detect and that could cause unknown problems. For example, if one of your PVOBs is at feature level 2 and you configure a new stream in a PVOB that is at feature level 2, you might have unknown problems. If the new stream is configured with a baseline from a PVOB that is at feature level 3 or later, the new stream will have configuration rules that can cause errors.
For information about raising the feature level of a VOB that is not replicated, see DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide and the chflevel reference page. For information about raising the feature level of replicated VOBs, see ClearCase MultiSite Administrator's Guide.
