Since that file was in 'defunct' state, when i clicked 'revert to backed version', it got removed from the stream (the purge). I was able to bring that file back to stream. It is still in 'defunct' state, however the version is increased by 1.

Here are the steps that I followed to bring it back to stream:

  1. Get the eID (element ID) of the file - to get this, browse to stream and see the history- you should be able to see transaction as 'purge' for this file. From properties of the file, you'll get eID.

  2. In command prompt, change to work-space directory of the stream where you reverted the file. Type the below command:

    accurev co -v <\stream_name>\1 -e <\ID>

    where: <\stream_name>\1" is the latest version of the file. <\ID> is eID.

  3. Go to work-space through GUI, you should now able to see the file. Now it should be promoted to appear in stream.
