In IBM® Rational® Clearcase® UCM deliver operation, "Merge > Merge Elements" results in the error "Unable to resolve Source Version!"

Troubleshooting


Problem

Skipping a directory merge during a UCM deliver operation and subsequently trying to merge any file element from the deliver operation dialog results in an error. The problem occurs when you skip or defer a directory merge during a deliver operation.

Symptom

When the UCM Delivery dialog encounters a nontrivial merge, a dialog offers the following options:
* Start the Diff Merge tool for this element
* Skip this element, I'll merge it later
* Back out from the current Delivery

If you select user the second option for a directory element, then the merge fails and displays the following message:

-------------------------------------
Deliver from Stream Operation Warning
-------------------------------------
An error occurred while checking out or merging the directories in the target view.
Unable to perform merge.
Unable to do integration.
-------------------------------------

If you subsequently select any file element from the dialog, and from its
context menu choose "Merge > Merge Elements," the following error is displayed:
---------------------------
Merge Manager
---------------------------
Unable to resolve Source Version!

VOB OID: <Component-VOB-UUID>
Version OID: 00000000.00000000.0000.00:00:00:00:00:00
Pathname: <file-path-name>
Source version selector: ''

INTERNAL ERROR detected and logged with the NT Event Service.
See the Event Viewer for the error message.
Internal Error detected in "\atria\lib\vob\map_cache.c" line 1799
Invalid input arguments to "map_obj_oid_to_dbid".
---------------------------
OK 
---------------------------

You cannot merge the file elements until all the directory merges are resolved.

Resolving The Problem

Start the delivery again, but this time, select "Start the Diff Merge tool for this element." After merging the directory versions, merge the file versions.
