How can I discard the latest delivered change set?

Hi

The developer accidently check-in and delivered the build result (thousands of generated text and java files) into repository. This change set is between the last two baselines. So all I need to do is remove the changes in the last baseline. How can I do that? I see Reverse the Change Set will create another change set, really dont' like this in this situation. I just want to completely get rid of the last change set.

Thanks

Look at the option to discard and replace in stream.

I have a concern on total number of files here. The total number of files in one component reaches 90K after adding these build result, which is way exceed the 50K limit.

1. This 50K limit is for the current baseline or all files used to have a version in the repository, e.g. if I delete the build result files, do they still count?

2. Can I completely destroy these build results, just like "rmelem"?

3. Shall I move these build result into a new component first, then discard the change set or delete the files?

Thanks

I don't know what "rmelem" is but you'll be fine discarding the change set and replacing the component. If you want the build result, the change set will still exist and show up in search results. It just won't exist in the stream anymore (doesn't show up in history).

"rmelem" is a ClearCase command to complete delete the files from the repository like they never exist.

I am just not sure if "deleted"/discarded files will be counted into that 50k limit.

What matters is how many files show up in the "current" state of a
stream or workspace. So the RTC deletion (which is what dropping a
change set effectively does) is like a ClearCase "rmname" and will keep
you under the 50k limit.

Also note that the 50k number is a guideline, not a hard limit.

Cheers,
Geoff

I have accidentally delivered hundreds of files into a stream and i want to remove all those files from the stream.How can i do this ?I tried reversing the changeset it just reverses the changes we did but doesnot deletes the files.Also discarding a changeset doesnot solve the solution as it jus removes the files from my component but not from the stream.Please help me with this at the earliest.I want to remove all the files I have accidentally checked in through a changeset from my stream
