1.0 Limitations

1.1 Connected to ClearCase Network (enable ClearCase integrations) check box must be selected

Make sure that the Connected to ClearCase Network (enable ClearCase integrations) check box is selected. This option must be enabled, or the ClearCase plug-in will not work.

To ensure this option is enabled, perform the following:

  • Click Start > Settings > Control Panel on the Windows desktop.
  • Double-click the ClearCase icon or select the ClearCase icon and click File > Open.
  • In the ClearCase Properties box, click the Options tab.
  • If not already selected, click the Connected to ClearCase Network (enable ClearCase integrations) option.
  • 2.0 Known problems

    2.1 Error adding linked files or folders to source control that are not in a ClearCase VOB

    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.

    2.2 Text file line lengths cannot exceed 8000 characters

    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.
