Clearcase - Squid Patch Activity

In UCM enabled ClearCase, where companies use ClearQuest for bug tracking and is connected with ClearCase, we sometimes come across instances of corruption of the activity records.

Eg. of error :

Could not perform requested operation: a UCM/Clearquest data 
inconsistency may exist:
Clearquest "Defect" record "<record ID>" is linked to a UCM object that 
can not be found.

This usually happens if the link between the activity record id and database is broken (probably due to network failure).

In such a case we need to run the squid_patch utility located at CC_HOME\etc\utils to re-link the record.

Usage:


  • Go to E:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\etc\utils   (Check relevant location of the utils folder as per your setup)

  • Then run the squid_patch utility 
[ Eg: squid_patch.exe DBD -activity DBD001122334 ucm_vob_object "" ]

Please refer the foll. technote and article.
