I have an environment with two replicated VOB servers. Not all the VOBs are replicated to each other: in some VOBs we have users that do check-ins from both sites (each site into different streams). Besides, there are some local VOBs on each site.

  1. How do I know if a replicated VOB has check-ins on a specific replica? Alternatively: how do I know if a replicated VOB has check-ins on both replicas?

  2. Do replicated VOBs must be on the same ClearCase registry?

  3. How do I know the local VOBs? cleartool lsvob -host local-hostname ?

  1. You can checkout for checkouts with a lscheckout command, but you cannot easily find new version on a replica: the easiest way is to wait for the synchronization and see if any new version have been created since the last sync (with a cleartool find created_since).

  2. Considering ClearCase is accessing one registry server at a time, it is best to have all vobs appropriately referenced (tagged and registered) in one registry (to avoid messages like "Unable to find replica in registry for VOB with object ID")

  3. You can follow "Determining which replica is associated with a VOB on the local host"

    cleartool describe -l vob:\avob

Look for a line "replica": if there is none (or if it is without value), it is a local vob (not replicated)

    1) cleartool lsco or cleartool find could take very long time... Is there any command to know if a VOB has been ever touched in a given site? –  Oct 01 '13 at 17:42
  • @user1762109 maybe with [`cleartool lshistory replica:replica-name[@vob-selector]`](http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cchelp/v7r0m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ref.doc/topics/ct_lshistory.htm): it does display history in reverse chronological order, and you don't have to display the *full** history, only the most recent events. – VonC Oct 01 '13 at 18:34

You can use multitool lsepoch -invob \VOB to determine, if anything has be changed by the replicas. Each action (checkin, checkout, mklabel...) will represented by one epoch counter.
