cleartool error: Unable to rebase stream

Can't rebase stream to the foundation baseline. Probably the baseline is corrupted.

Is it possible to fix this baseline?

cleartool: Error: Version map for baseline is unavailable.
cleartool: Error: Unable to get unlabelled baselines in foundation
cleartool: Error: Unable to determine if configuration is valid
cleartool: Error: Unable to rebase stream

Solution

First, are you sure to select the right baseline?

If you select a composite baseline, it is per its nature unlabelled.

Second, what version of ClearCase are you using? Is your project a multisite one?

Your error message is seen in the IBM technote "Creating a child stream in a ClearCase MultiSite environment results in Error"

The root cause for the problem is that baselinelbtype on a site where you are creating the stream has got a following postfix:

lbtype:<lbtype_name>_in_progress@\<cvob>

whereas the baselinelbtype on a site where baseline has been created and it's mastered object is as follows:

lbtype:<lbtype_name>@\<cvob>

You can check out this IBM technote "Version map for baseline is unavailable"

To confirm this issue, go to a command prompt, change directory (cd) into a UCM view and into the root of the component with the offending baseline.

Run a cleartool lsbl -l and check on each baseline from the bottom up for Label Status, noting those that are unlabelled baselines.

Then starting at the oldest unlabelled baseline and working forward, run chbl

cleartool chbl -incremental baseline:@\.

This will apply a label status to each unlabelled baseline and will then allow a rebase of a child stream.
