Chapter 3 Working with a Revision Control System : ClearCase

ClearCase

ClearCase tracks the file versions used to build a product release and helps to organize the work of groups of engineers.

ClearCase requires that a directory element be checked out before any elements within it can be checked out. This implies:

•

The root of a newly created project must be saved in a directory that has already been checked out in ClearCase. Otherwise the root (and hence the project) may not be added to the RCS.

•

Checking out a non-folder resource will auto-checkout the parent folder resource, if not already checked out in the RCS.
