Administering HCL VersionVault
Moving VOBs and relocating VOB dataHCL VersionVault 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 VOBThe cleartool relocate command moves elements to another VOB.
Handling errors during a relocate operationWhen the relocate command encounters a problem, you can usually fix it and restart relocate with the same command line; the operation continues from the point of the error.

Errors while removing elements from the source VOB

About this task

After the relocate command has re-created elements in the target VOB, it removes the elements from the source VOB (unless the –update option was used). If this step fails (typically because of a trigger on rmelem), you must remove the elements manually.

To avoid these errors, remove any rmelem triggers on elements before you relocate them.

Procedure

Find element OIDs from log file.
Examine the relocate log file and find the lines that specify the object IDs (OIDs) of the elements that relocate tried to remove but could not.
Remove the elements.
For each element reported in the log file, run this command:
cleartool rmelem oid:OID-reported-in-log-file
If necessary, remove the trigger that prevented the relocate command from removing the elements.
