Removing Circular Duplicate Links


In a replicated ClearQuest environment it is possible to create a circular duplicate link where a defect and its duplicate are both set to the Duplicate state. Circular duplicate links can be created by doing the following:

  1. At boston_hub, make Defect1 a duplicate of Defect2.
  2. At sanfran_hub, make Defect2 a duplicate of Defect1.
  3. Synchronize boston_hub and sanfran_hub. Both defects are now in the Duplicate state.

To remove a circular duplicate link, unduplicate one of the defects at the site that masters it.
