How to Add a File in a ClearCase Project

The IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer is an application used for revising and editing source code of projects that are being developed. Using the Rational ClearCase Explorer program you can manage the source code that is compiled on your server, and you can also add new files to a current project. When adding a group of files to a ClearCase project you can also add a description to help you identify the collection of new files.

Instructions

1. Open the Rational ClearCase Explorer application on your computer and then select the items you want to add to the source control from the left navigation pane.

2. Right-click on the selected items and then select the "Add to Source Control" option. Select the project that you want the files to be added to.

3. Enter a description for the files into the "Comment" field, and then click the box next to the "Checkout after adding to source control" field so that it's selected.

4. Click the box next to the "Make current replica the master of all newly created branches" field so that it's selected.

5. Click the "OK" button and then click the "Apply to All" option to save all of your changes. The files you selected will then be fully added to your ClearCase project.
