Errors while removing elements from the source VOB

After the relocate command has re-created elements in the target VOB, it removes the elements from the source VOB (unless the–update option was used). If this step fails (typically because of a trigger on rmelem), you must remove the elements manually, as follows:

To avoid these errors, remove any rmelem triggers on elements before you relocate them.

  1. Find element OIDs from log file. Examine the relocate log file and find the lines that specify the object IDs (OIDs) of the elements that relocate tried to remove but could not.
  2. Remove the elements. For each element reported in the log file, run this command:

    cleartool rmelem oid:OID-reported-in-log-file

  3. If necessary, remove the trigger that prevented the relocate command from removing the elements.
