unregister

The unregister command removes the entry for a particular VOB or view from the network's vob_object or view_object registry. This does not affect VOB tag or view tag registry entries, and it does not affect the contents of the physical storage directories. See the Help.

If you remove a VOB or view storage directory with an operating system command instead of with rmvob or rmview, the VOB or view remains registered. In this case, you must use the –uuid option to unregister the associated storage directory (and use rmtag to remove relevant tag entries, if any still exist).

The UNIX system and Linux examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you might need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you might need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX system and Linux shells or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt.

• On a UNIX or Linux system, unregister a VOB storage directory.

  cmd-context unregister –vob /vobstore/vob2.vbs

• On a Windows system, unregister a view storage directory.

  cmd-context unregister –view k:\vw_store\view5.vws

• Using the –uuid option, unregister a VOB storage directory that was mistakenly deleted with UNIX or Linux rm –rf instead of rmvob. In this UNIX and Linux example, the VOB replica UUID (do not use the VOB family UUID) is found in the output from lsvob –long. After unregistering the storage directory, remove the VOB tag. If the VOB has tag registry entries for more than one network region, the –all option removes all of them.

  cmd-context  lsvob –long /vobs/src  (find the VOB replica uuid)
  Tag: /vobs/src
  Global path: /net/neptune/vobstore/src.vbs.
  .
  .
  .
  Vob replica uuid: cb4caf2f.f48d11cc.abfc.00:01:53:00:e8:c3
  ls /net/neptune/vobstore/src.vbs  (verify storage directory was removed)
  UX:ls: ERROR: Cannot access /net/neptune/vobstore/src.vbs:
  No such file or directory
  cmd-context unregister –vob –uuid cb4caf2f.f48d11cc.abfc.00:01:53:00:e8:c3
  cmd-context rmtag –vob –all /vobs/src

• As in the previous example, unregister a removed, but still registered, VOB storage directory. In this Windows example, the VOB tag has already been removed. Therefore, use the versionvault-home-dir\log\scrubber_log, not lsvob, to find the VOB replica UUID. (lsvob lists only VOBs that have registered VOB tags.) The scrubber utility, which runs nightly by default, reports the required UUID in an error message after failing to find the registered storage directory.
