APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
rmstream is blocked if the stream has view attached. However, if there is a new view that the stream master site does not know about because the remote site has not sync'd to the stream master since creating the view, then the rmstream is allowed to proceed. (Of course this is unavoidable.) Remote sites may have database problems affecting reformatvob and mkreplica, after they import the "rmstream" oplog entry. Examples: db_dumper: Error: Unexpected error from database library (8) in "/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__dump.c" line 3280 db_dumper: Error: Error from libdb (8) cleartool: Error: Could not dump database. db_dumper: Error: Database identifier nnnnnn requested by client "" not found in VOB "/cag/drobinson/rms_pvob.vbs/db.reformat" in file "/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__obj.c" line 970. db_dumper: Error: Unexpected error from database library (1) in "/vobs/atria/lib/db/db__dump.c" line 6241 db_dumper: Error: Error from libdb (1) cleartool: Error: Could not dump database.
Local fix
Contact ClearCase Technical Support for assistance to clean bad records out of the VOB database.
