The ClearCase Version Importer fails to import multiple views and displays the error “Component has outstanding conflicts in workspace”

Problem

When you export and import Rational ClearCase versions with the ClearCase Version Importer, you can specify multiple views to import all baselines at once. When files are moved or renamed across views, the importer also moves or renames the files in the Rational Team Concert source control. There are some rename cases that the importer cannot handle, so it leaves outstanding conflicts in the workspace.

Symptom

The import command fails with the error, “Component has outstanding conflicts in workspace,” in the following example:

C:CCSyncccctoolseclipse>ccc import ccase -d C:data11views_multisite -r repo -s s1 -c c1  2014-05-06 08:43:38,024  INFO Created workspace for importing from ClearCase. Do not remove the work  space. It will be deleted by this process at the end.

Problem running 'import ccase':  Could not import data to Rational Team Concert source control because of the following error:  Component 'c1' has outstanding conflicts in workspace

Workaround

When this error occurs, the baselines that are already imported are not affected by the issue (as shown for view1 and view2 in the example). To import the remainder of the views, complete these steps:

1. Export the Rational ClearCase views that were not imported. Specify a new data directory during the export command. You can specify the same options other than the views and data directory.
2. Before running the import command, open the stream editor in the Rational Team Concert Eclipse client and replace the component with an initial baseline (or a baseline that is created manually before the failed import). If the component has a baseline that was created by the last ClearCase Version Importer run, you get the same issue again.
3. Import the new intermediate data to the same stream and the same component.
