Fix “Importing oplog(s) from a deleted replica is not allowed” in clearcase

Posted on May 13, 2008

While importing the sync packages in clearcase ,I met the following error:

multitool: Error: Importing oplog(s) from a deleted replica
“replica-name” is not allowed.

Solution:

use the -allow_imp_from_deleted_rep option in multitool

e.g:

% multitool syncreplica -import -allow_imp_from_deleted_rep -invob <vob tag> <packet_name>

    Starting with Version 7 of ClearCase/Multisite, the importing of packets from deleted replicas is blocked.
    This is because this is a bad thing. It shows the replica was not properly deleted and divergence could occur.
    Read: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=986&context=SSSH3S&dc=DB520&dc=DB560&uid=swg21257913&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct986rational
    Bottom line: If you use this command, you could end up with real problems. Check the VOB contents after importing these packets!
