change the mastership of my stream to be able to deliver to parent stream

Question

I have the following error when I try to deliver from stream B to parent stream A:

cleartool: Warning: Trigger "dlvr_start_precondition" has refused to let deliver_start proceed.
cleartool: Error: A deliver_start preop trigger does not allow this operation.
cleartool: Error: Unable to do integration.
cleartool: Error: Unable to deliver stream "A"

Was indicated to change the mastership of my stream temporary to be able to deliver to parent stream. My stream is on a different server then the parent stream.

I see that can be done with:

multitool chmaster –stream [ –ove·rride ] master-replica-selector stream-selector

In my case should be the following command?

multitool chmaster –stream A B

Answer 1

The multitool chmaster man page does mention:

-str/eam [ -ove/rride ] master-replica-selector stream-selector ...

Transfers mastership of the specified streams and their associated objects to the replica specified with master-replica-selector.
Specify stream-selector in the following form:

stream-selector
    [stream:]stream-name[@vob-selector]

Use the -override option only if the chmaster–stream command fails.
With -override, chmaster attempts to transfer mastership of objects whose mastership was not transferred during the original invocation of the command.

In your case:

multitool chmaster –stream stream:A@\aPVob      siteB
multitool chmaster –stream stream:A@/vobs/aPVob siteB

with siteB being the site which masters the stream B.
