Question

In Clearcase UCM , I was trying to do inter-project delivery.

When delivery is about to be over, it shows some warning.

3 elements were skipped because they are not visible. You should
determine why they are not visible before you complete this deliver or
rebase operation. If these elements should be visible, cancel this
operation, fix the problem, and re-run the operation. 27 elements were
skipped because they are not visible. You should determine why they
are not visible before you complete this deliver or rebase operation.
If these elements should be visible, cancel this operation, fix the
problem, and re-run the operation.

What does that mean? Whether the file is not present is target stream or what?

Answer 1

It is a non-blocking warning, which means at the source branch level :

• a file has been modified since the last merge (so it is a candidate for the next merge, and will be part of the list of versions listed by ClearCase during said merge=
• it has since then deleted (rmname’d, that is unreferenced from its parent directory)

That means it is no longer visible from a source view.

For more, see technote “Deliver or Rebase reports elements were skipped, because they are not visible“:

This message indicates that a cleartool rmname was performed on some version of the parent directory which is involved in a rebase or deliver operation.
