When creating links to folders or files that are not in a ClearCase VOB, ClearCase incorrectly prompts you to add the folders or files to ClearCase source control. The Add Element(s) to Source Control operation will fail. You may ignore any resulting error dialogs or Cancel out of the Add Element(s) to Source Control dialog.
Certain Web projects create .js text files with lines that contain more than 8000 characters. You cannot add these files to ClearCase source control or, if these files are already in ClearCase source control before the line lengths grow longer than 8000 characters, these files can no longer be checked in to ClearCase.
To work around the problem, you can manually change the element type of the element. For example, you could do the following:
C:\>cleartool chtype compressed_file <PATHNAME_TO_FILE>\text_file.js
You will then be able to check in the file.
If you do not install ClearCase v. 2003.06.00 in the default directory, the Release Notes do not display after the installation is complete. To find the Release Notes, search for the cpf_relnotes.htm file under your ClearCase install directory.
