Error description
Creating an IBM Rational ClearCase administrative VOB (AdminVOB) hyperlink reports errors indicating that it can not perform the operation because the replica does not master certain objects, however, it proceeds in creating hyperlinks to non-mastered obje cts. The following example shows the steps to reproduce the issue. Starting environment: We have a replica 'Boston' of VOB \rn-tester master of replica:Boston is original master of brtype:bugfix is original master of lbtype:REL123 is original The admin VOB \myadmin is not replicated. In Boston you want to create an AdminVOB hyperlink to \myadmin. This should fail as Boston does not master any of the to be link ed ClearCase objects. M:\admin_view5\rn-tester?cleartool mkhlink -acquire AdminVOB vob :\rn-tester vob:\myadmin cleartool: Error: Unable to perform operation 'change event' in replica 'Boston' of VOB '\rn-tester'. cleartool: Error: Master replica of branch type 'bugfix' is 'ori ginal'. cleartool: Error: Unable to perform operation 'change event' in replica 'Boston' of VOB '\rn-tester'. cleartool: Error: Master replica of label type 'REL123' is 'orig inal'. Created hyperlink 'AdminVOB@114343@\rn-tester'. As expected, you will see a lot of error messages because the lo cal replica does not master any of the objects. However, the Adm inVOB hyperlink is created anyway and the hyperlinks of type Glo balDefinition have been created as well.

WORKAROUND: Be sure that the mkhlink operation is performed on one site only .
