PI97705: RMBRANCH DELETES A BASELINED/LABELED VERSION

Rational ClearCase Fix Pack 3 (9.0.2.3) for 9.0.2
Rational ClearCase Fix Pack 11 (9.0.1.11) for 9.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• "cleartool rmver" does not allow removal of a version that is
  part of a labeled baseline
      because it corrupts the baseline
      and any descendant baselines will not label any version of
  that element
  
  However, that restriction can be worked around by a user by
  doing a "cleartool rmbranch".
  

Local fix

• Create a trigger to disallow rmbranch of a UCM guarded branch
  that has any change set versions on it
      (any version other than branch version zero)

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Cleartool rmver command execution validates for interested   *
  * version before deleting the selected version. However,       *
  * similar validation was missing while executing rmbranch      *
  * command.                                                     *
