Error description
When populating a IBM Rational ClearCase Versioned Object base (VOB) using the clearfsimport utility, future use of the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) may be significantly impaired if the source directory is itself a CCRC workspace containing multiple .copyarea.db files. Workaround: 1) Before using clearfsimport to migrate data, verify that there are no .copyarea.db, .copyarea.dat, and .copyarea.lck files. 2) If the problem has already occurred, and VOB access is still possible, use the native ClearCase client to remove the problem files using cleartool rmelem. Use the cleartool find commands to search for the files as follows: cleartool find -all -name '.copyarea.db' -print cleartool find -all -name '.copyarea.dat' -print cleartool find -all -name '.copyarea.lck' -print Once the files are located use 'cleartool rmelem -force ...' to remove them.
