APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you are running cleartool findmerge -avobs -nc " -fver
  .../ChildBranch/LATEST -merge -abort, you may find that the
  findmerge does not work for more than a single vob.
  
  
  If merging elements in /vobs/VOB2, after elements in /vobs/VOB1
  have been merged, the following error will prevent the elements
  in /vobs/VOB2 from merging:
  
  cleartool: Error: Database identifier (dbid) not found in
  database: "/vobs/VOB1".
  cleartool: Error: Some Change Management integration actions
  have failed.
  Please refer to the CMI log file for details.
  
  Although the error refers to /vobs/VOB1, the elements in
  /vobs/VOB1 will be merged.  However, the error will prevent the
  elements in /vobs/VOB2 from being merged.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  In order to workaround the issue, you can do one of the
  following:
  1. Re-run findmerge
  2. Run findmerge against one VOB at at a time.
