Raising the VOB feature level

Use the cleartool chflevel command to change the feature level of a VOB.

About this task

Certain constraints apply when raising the feature level of a replicated VOB. When you use DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite, each replica in a VOB family has a feature level. Replicas in the same family can have different feature levels. The VOB family itself has a feature level, which must be less than or equal to the lowest replica feature level found among members of the VOB family. You cannot raise the feature level of a VOB family above the lowest feature level of any replica in that family. For more information about feature levels and VOB replicas, see Administering DevOps Code ClearCase MultiSite.

To raise the feature level of an unreplicated VOB, use the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the VOB host as the VOB owner or privileged user.
  2. Issue the chflevel command with the –auto option. The command lists each VOB served by the host. It then prompts you to raise the feature level of each unreplicated VOB that is not at the highest feature level supported by the release of DevOps Code ClearCase installed on the host.
