Preserve file modified time on checkout

Use this Advanced Options preference to specify Rational ClearCase behavior when checking out file or folder elements. When this option is selected, ClearCase does not modify the time stamp of an element when you check it out. The timestamp continues to show the time that the element was last saved. Consequently, other programs do not detect a change to the element and prompt you unnecessarily. Rational Software recommends that you select this preference option and leave it on.

Note: This option is available only in ClearCase version 2002.05.00 or later.
