APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The ClearCase documentation at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rational-clearcase/9.1?topic=view-sp ecial-procedures-moving-snapshot-views-windows incorrectly states that XCOPY's /K option preserves file modification times. XCOPY /K preserves file attributes instead of clearing them in the destination directory. This preservation is REQUIRED for proper operation of a snapshot view. Failure to use /K will cause all checked-in files loaded in the snapshot view to be considered "hijacked" files.
Local fix
