Element changes during operation

If a syncreplica –import command fails with an error message about the element changing during the operation, try the import operation again.

If a syncreplica –import command fails with one of the following messages, restart the import:
Element changed during operation
Element changed during checkin

The messages report that multitool was trying to import an operation for an element while another process (for example, a developer using cleartool) was operating on the same element.

If possible, run syncreplica –import from within a view. If it fails again, you see more information about what element it is failing on, and you can look through output from the lshistory command to try to find the conflict.
