VOB objects and VOB replica objects

Specifically:

• VOB object: The database has a single VOB object. This object’s UUID is listed as the VOB family uuid in a lsvob –long listing.
• VOB-replica object (or replica object): The database has a VOB-replica object for each of the VOB’s replicas. This object’s UUID is listed as the Vob replica uuid in a lsvob –long listing.

For example:

cleartool lsvob –long /vobs/dev 
Tag: /vobs/dev
...
Vob family uuid: 87f6265b.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0:4b:e7
Vob replica uuid: 87f6265f.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0:4b:e7
Vob registry attributes: replicated

Use describe vob: to list details about the VOB object; use describe replica: to list details about the VOB-replica object (the replica). For example:

cleartool describe vob:/vobs/dev replica:boston_hub@/vobs/dev 
versioned object base "/vobs/doc" 
  created 15-Aug-01.14:19:48 by susan.user
  "Main source VOB for development."
  master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/dev
  replica name: boston_hub 
  VOB family feature level: 3
  VOB storage host:pathname "goldengate:/vobstg/dev.vbs"
  VOB storage global pathname "/net/goldengate/vobstg/dev.vbs"
...
