Restoring a Rational ClearQuest database

When you restore from backup the Rational® ClearQuest® database for a UCM project, the following types of skew might be introduced:
  • Activities defined in the PVOB might reference fields or records that do not exist in the Rational ClearQuest database.
  • Any activity and stream names or titles that have been changed since the Rational ClearQuest database was backed up are different in the PVOB and the Rational ClearQuest database.

To analyze and, if necessary, fix these types of skew, use checkvob –ucm with the –crm_dbname option:

  1. Restore the Rational ClearQuest database. Use the procedures specified by the database vendor. Verify that the restored database is working and accessible over the network.
  2. Run checkvob –ucm to detect skew between the PVOB and the restored Rational ClearQuest database. The following command line checks all entries for a project named Release-6 in a Rational ClearQuest database named CQ-UCM-DB:

    cleartool checkvob –ucm –crm_dbname CQ-UCM-DB –project Release-6
