Special procedures for restoring a PVOB

The checkvob command can be used to analyze and, if necessary, fix most types of skew. You can use checkvob to detect skew between the PVOB and its component VOB, and skew between the PVOB and its Rational ClearQuest database. If your PVOB is associated with multiple component VOBs in the project, you must run checkvob for each of these component VOBs.

The commandcheckvob -ucm -vob_onlydetects most types of skew between the restored PVOB and its component VOB. This command checks the PVOB for references it holds to objects in component VOBs. For example, the following command checks a component VOB whose VOB tag is \CVOB:

cleartool checkvob -ucm -vob_only vob:\CVOB

The command checkvob -ucm -crm_dbname detects most types of skew between the restored PVOB and the Rational ClearQuest database. For example, the following command checks for skew in a project named Release-6 in a Rational ClearQuest database named CQ-UCM-DB:

cleartool checkvob -ucm -crm_dbname -project Release-6
