Each replica is a VOB, but the VOB object and VOB-replica object are different objects in the VOB database:
VOB family uuid
in a lsvob –long listing.Vob replica uuid
in a lsvob –long listing.For example:
cleartool lsvob –long /vobs/dev Tag: /vobs/dev ... Vob family uuid: 87f6265b.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0:4b:e7 Vob replica uuid: 87f6265f.72d911d4.a5cd.00:01:80:c0:4b:e7
Use describe vob: to list details about the VOB object; use describe replica: to list details about the VOB-replica object (the replica). For example:
cleartool describe vob:/vobs/dev replica:boston_hub@/vobs/dev versioned object base "/vobs/doc" created 15-Aug-01.14:19:48 by susan.user "Main source VOB for development." master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/dev replica name: boston_hub VOB family feature level: 3 VOB storage host:pathname "goldengate:/vobstg/dev.vbs" VOB storage global pathname "/net/goldengate/vobstg/dev.vbs" ... replica "boston_hub" created 15-Aug-01.14:19:48 by susan.user replica type: unfiltered master replica: boston_hub@/vobs/dev request for mastership: enabled ...
All replicas of a VOB record the same VOB object and set of VOB-replica objects. When a new replica is created, it takes some time for the change (creation of a new VOB-replica object) to be propagated to all the replica’s databases.
