Error description
When addint a file to source control in a replicated VOB using the IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer, the operation may silently fail if: - one or more of the branch types being created for the element are not locally mastered - The '... make the current replica the master of all newly created branches.' option is enabled. Steps to reproduce: - Create a New VOB - Create a new view with the default configspec. - Create a new replica of this VOB using mt mkreplica -out. Replica creation packet can be removed as it is not needed for the future steps. - Use mt chmaster -all to move all object mastership to the new replica. - Run cleardlg /options to set 'Prompt for comments' and '... make the current replica the master...' - CD into a directory in this VOB. - Create a new brtype, and change the current view's configspec to use it. - create a view private file -- MakeMe.txt - run cleardlg /addtosrc MakeMe.txt - Observe: - You may get prompted for comments - Add to source progress bar flashes on the display. - File is still view private. - DIRECTORY was checked out and back in, making the new branch on the directory. Workaround: Use 'cleartool mkelem' on the command line, or use the ClearTeam Explorer, which do not experience this issue.
