When you use WebSphere Studio to move a file or folder that is a Rational ClearCase element, ClearCase automatically checks out the parent directory, performs the move operation in the ClearCase VOB, then checks the parent directory back in. Refer to the following Notes for more information about moving WebSphere Studio files or folders that are under ClearCase control.
Notes:If a source or destination directory is checked out when you perform the move operation, ClearCase does not automatically check the directory in you complete the move operation.
If you move a ClearCase element between ClearCase VOBs or between ClearCase UCM components, ClearCase copies the version currently in your view to the new location and removes it from the old location. In these cases, the ClearCase history of the element is not available at the new location and ClearCase prompts you to add the element to source control.
If you want to move multiple WebSphere Studio files or folders residing in the same directory as a single directory version change, check the directory out of ClearCase, perform the deletions in WebSphere Studio, then check the directory back into ClearCase.
If you are using ClearCase UCM, a move operation always uses the current activity.
If you perform an Undo Check Out
operation on the directory before checking it back in, the move process
is undone. If the source directory is not checked in before the Undo Check Out
process occurs, any files or folders you moved out of the source directory
reappear in it. If the destination directory is not checked in before the
Undo Check Out process occurs, the destination directory no longer
contains the files of folders you moved into it.
To undo a
WebSphere Studio move operation in ClearCase, make sure that neither the parent directory nor the renamed elements
are checked in before performing the Undo Check Out
operation.
After performing the Undo Check Out operation, right-click the parent directory in WebSphere Studio and choose Team -> Refresh Status.
