To undo a rebase operation

About this task

Tip: This procedure is valid only if you have started a rebase operation and have not completed it.

After undoing the rebase operation, all checkouts in the integration view are canceled and all merge arrows created during the current deliver operation are removed. (Merge arrows in VOBs are used to keep a history of merges.)

If you checked in any versions to the development view, you must remove them using the cleartool rmver command. Because rmver erases part of your organizational development history, your organization might not allow individual developers to use it. Be very conservative in using this command.

Procedure

  1. If you started the Diff Merge or XML Diff Merge tool, close it.
  2. Perform either of the following actions:
    • On a UNIX system or Linux, if the clearmrgman window is open, click Cancel.
    • On a Windows system, if the Rebase Status window is open, click Close.
  3. Perform either of the following actions:
    • On a UNIX system or Linux, from your development view, type the following command:
      cleartool rebase -cancel
    • On a Windows system, in either HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer or Windows Explorer, right-click the view root directory; and, in VersionVault Windows Explorer, click Rebase Stream, or in Windows Explorer, click VersionVault > Rebase Stream. Then click Undo the rebase and click OK.
