Is there any way to skip importing a particular Cl

Question

There is a problem in importing a packet in Clearcase replica. We researched a lot to resolve the issue, but as per IBM this is a bug in a particular version of clearcase.

So if there is any way to skip importing that particular packet,that would really help us in resolving the sync issue.

Our vob servers are already already on the version which as per above tech note has a fix for the issue, still the issue persists

Answer 1

Not that I know of.

The syncreplica documentation does mention it "skips" packets only when:

• > the update packet contains changes that depend on other changes that have not yet been imported to this replica.
• Problems were encountered processing an earlier physical packet in a multiple-part logical packet.

In these cases, syncreplica –import displays an explanatory message.

In other cases, since importing a packet can depends on previous packets being applied, I don't know if that process can allow "skipping" a packet.
