1.0 Known problems and workarounds

1.1 Compilation error occurs while sharing a functional test project using ClearCase

By default, ClearCase is configured to be case insensitive. If a file name contains upper case letters, ClearCase converts it into lower case. Similar problem occurs when you record a new script inside an existing project located in ClearCase.

Workaround: Change the ClearCase settings to preserve case, following these steps:

  1. Select Start > Control Panel > ClearCase to open the ClearCase Properties window.
  2. In the MVFS tab, select the Case Preserving check box.
  3. Stop and restart ClearCase.
  4. Share the functional test project again.

1.2 ClearCase integration does not work on Linux

ClearCase integration on Linux does not work if it is not installed in the /opt/rational directory.

Workaround: To use ClearCase with Linux, you must install ClearCase in the /opt/rational or the /usr/atria directory, or set CLEARCASEHOME or ATRIAHOME to the ClearCase install directory.
