Merging Feature Information?

I'm wondering if there's a way to merge feature information, for example, I originally had checkout information for XYZ:Feature1 but then in the newer patch it is treated as Feature1... is there a way to consolidate all information from XYZ:Feature1 to Feature1? I know this can be done on the TAG level but was wondering if it can be taken a step further to the feature level?

Henry,

We might want to take a closer look at your issue.  Are you saying that you had a feature name in your database in the format of XYZ:Feature1?  Typically, we would not see feature names with a : in them.  In LM, some of the reports are in a "taggedfeature" format of TAG:FEATURE and you can switch the view to a "feature" only format, which gathers statistics for features across all tags.

If you truly have a need to reassign handles from one feature to another, we do not currently have a facility to do this, as this is a pretty rare situation.  It can be done using SQL easily enough, where you would do something like:

% vovproject enable licmon
% vovsql -e "UPDATE handles SET feature_id = Y WHERE feature_id = X"

In the above example, X would be your old feature name and Y would be your new one.  Let me know any feedback you have on this post.
