I accidently delete a file from the Starteam repository, I am able to view the file content on different view/configuration, and I am able to copy it and recheck-in the file but its history is important. Is it possible to restore the file along with its history?
Thank you Sharon whipple

Create a new view (View > New...) based on a label attached to the file you want to restore, or based on a time before the file was deleted. Switch to this view (View > Select View...). Use VCM to promote (Under "Select the type of compare or merge:, choose Promote) to the tip view (View > Compare/Merge...). Before committing, check that the file to be restored has action Reverse share associated with it. Commit (VCM Session > Commit Changes...). The file should now be restored to the tip view.
On page 37, this document ( http://www.nohau.se/products/starteam/StarTeam-2008-Best-Practices.pdf ) recommends going to a previous view/configuration and then sharing the file with your tip view. You can share a file by having both views open in your graphical client, and Ctrl-Clicking the deleted file from your old view and dragging it to your tip view (it will prompt you about sharing the file).
