Cancel or complete a rebase operation in UCM

Question

I had a dynamic view and I started a re-base operation on that view, then before doing a cleartool rebase -complete I removed that view accidentally!

Now the problem is that I cannot do a rebase -complete or rebase -cancel in another view attached to the same stream.
How can I resolve this issue, I get the following error:

cleartool: Error: No tag in region for view "00000000.00000000.0000.00:00:00:00:00:00".
cleartool: Error: Unable to start view "".
cleartool: Error: Unable to cancel rebase.

With cleartool rebase, you can try and resuming the operation with a new view (which should be attached to the same destination stream)

cleartool rebase -resume -reset -view aNewUCMView

that would be using the option:

-reset -vie/w new-development-view_tag

Resets the target view to a new development view.
Use this option should the target view become inaccessible.

As in "Can't resume or rebase stream on snapshot view on windows":

I would recommend for that new view to be a dynamic one, instead of a snapshot one: it is quicker to start and succeed/fail, and you can do multiple tests without waiting for the view to update itself (update being done only in a snapshot view).

If you see:

cleartool: Error: The view cannot be retargeted because 
the current integration activity "rebase.STREAM_NAME.20141124.170858" 
has checkouts.

You will have to unco everything (see first "How to find all checkedout files with ClearCase cleartool?"), and then:

cleartool rebase -cancel -reset -view aNewUCMView
