Error description
Problem Description: Within IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer, you will see that the right-click context menu does not show the 'New' option when the current VOB directory is symlinked to this location. Following the directory tree down to the non-symlinked version of the directory does show the context menu. Step to reproduce: Create a VOB with two directories in it Dir1 and Dir2. Navigate into a Dir1 and create a symlink here to Dir2. Navigate into Dir2 from here and right click on the contents window. Workaround: Do not follow the directory tree over the symlink. Use the regular path to get to the symlinked directory. That will show the context menu correctly.
