Jim,
Try running desc -long vob:\"vob name" note the uuid of the view
that contains checkouts on the vob. You should be able to note the system
machine as well...or at least run a lsview -long > output file and view the
uuid of the lost view, just to make sure you have the correct uuid.
Then you have to unregister the view from the VOB by running
unregister -view -uuid (uuid of the lost view). This will unregister the
view from the registry...it will not remove it, however. To remove the view
from the VOB run rmtag -view -all (view tag name) this will completely
remove all references of the view from all VOBs.
This will also remove any checkouts still existent in the Vob that
are owned by this rogue view. We have had the same situation occur here more
than once. These commands take care of the problem...only issue is you can't
save the checkouts...anyone have an idea on that one I would like to know
(seeing as the storage directory is stored on the local workstation I don't
see any way of recovering without at least a copy of the storage view dir).
At any rate let me know how it goes.
Cheers ;-)
