About this task
To cancel a hijack on one or more files:
- Select the hijacked files of interest. Use the ClearCase
Details view, ClearCase Search Results view,
or the ClearCase Version Tree view. If you are working
in the Eclipse environment, use any Eclipse view that supports the Team context
menu.
- To open the Undo Hijack dialog
box, click the
icon on the ClearCase toolbar, or take
either of the following actions:- Select Undo Hijack from the context menu in
the ClearCase Details view or ClearCase Search
Results view.
- In the Eclipse environment, select Undo Hijack from
the Team context menu.
- In the ClearCase Version Tree view, right-click

preserve a view-private copy of the file.
- Click OK.
Results
The selected versions are loaded from the VOB as checked-in (read-only)
files. If you selected Save a copy of the file with a '.keep' extension,
the contents of the hijacked files are preserved as view-private files with
names of the form filename.keep.
