Troubleshooting
Problem
Running a repair discordance operation on a VOB root element inside a web view in the ClearCase Remote Client reports a load discordance or a NullPointerException even when the client and server state are in sync and there is no actual discordance.
Symptom
Performing a repair discordance on a VOB root element reports a load discordance or a NullPointerException, as shown below:
Figure 1: The Repair Discordance dialog reports a load discordance on the VOB root element

Figure 2: Error dialog with NullPointerException when Repair Discordance action is run on VOB root
Note: As of ClearCase 9.0.1.13 onwards, NullPointerException no longer occurs; however the rest of this technote still applies.
Although the Repair Discordance dialog states that the "Object needs to be unloaded," no actual discordance exists in this case.
