Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains why an error, Warning: Element "element" is not visible in view "view", may occur when running an IBM Rational ClearCase Unified Change Management (UCM) deliver command and provides instructions on how to resolve the issue.

Symptom

Attempts to deliver UCM activities results in the following error:

(development view)%> cleartool deliver
cleartool: Warning: There are checkouts in activities in source stream "dev".  These changes will NOT be included in this operation.
Check the policy setting disabling checkouts in the source stream on the target project "Java_Project" and/or the target stream "integration".
Changes to be DELIVERED to default target stream in project "Java_Project":
FROM: stream "dev"
TO: stream "integration"
Using target view: "integration_view".
Do you wish to continue with this deliver operation?  [no] y

cleartool: Warning: Element "/view/integration_view/vobs/myvob/source/code@@/main/dev/1/java/main/dev/2/admin/main/dev/2/Foo.java" is not visible in view "integration_view".
cleartool: Warning: Skipping element "/view/integration_view/vobs/myvob/source/code@@/main/dev/1/java/main/dev/2/admin/main/dev/2/Foo.java" *** IMPORTANT ***
Before completing this deliver or rebase operation, you should understand why this element is not visible.  If this element should be visible, cancel this operation, fix the problem, and re-run the operation.
cleartool: Warning: 1 elements were skipped because they are not
visible.  You should determine why they are not visible before you complete this deliver or rebase operation.  If these elements should be visible, cancel this operation, fix the problem, and re-run the operation.


Deliver has merged
FROM: stream "dev"
TO: stream "integration"
Using target view: "integration_view".
Build and test are necessary in target view "integration_view"
to ensure that the merges were completed correctly.  When build and
test are confirmed, run "cleartool deliver -complete".


(development view)%> cleartool deliver -cancel
Cancel deliver
FROM: stream "dev"
TO: stream "integration"
Using target view: "integration_view".
Are you sure you want to cancel this deliver operation?  [no] y
Deliver of stream "development" canceled.


Note: The element /vobs/myvob/source/code/java/admin/Foo.java doesn't appear in the integration view because the admin directory (in this case) is not seen.

(integration_view) %> pwd
/vobs/myvob/source/code/java

(integration_view) %> ls -al

drwxrwxr-x   7 user   group          196 Nov 12 15:52 ..



The element does appear in the development view.

(development) %> pwd
