Testing the Rebase Operation

After Rational® ClearCase® reconfigures your work area and completes any needed merges, verify that any undelivered work builds successfully with the changes in the new baseline.

To test the baseline:

  1. Start a test build in your development view and verify that any undelivered work builds successfully with the changes in the new baseline.
  2. If any build errors occur, you can do one or more of the following:
    • Edit the checked-out versions to resolve build errors.
    • Check out and edit additional files as necessary.
    • Rebuild and verify there are no build errors.
  3. If you decide that the rebase operation should not be completed, it is still possible at this point to cancel your rebase.
    Note: Do not check in any of your changes after the merge, until you are ready to complete the rebase operation.

    For information about canceling a rebase operation, see the IBM Rational ClearCase Information Center.

When you are satisfied with the test build, you can complete the rebase operation.
