Editing Method Elements With ClearCase

  1. Make sure the authoring perspective is being used. Method elements can only be edited from within this perspective.
  2. If you try to edit an existing element a dialog box will appear with a message prompting you to check-out the appropriate library source file. Select Apply.
  3. As edits are made the tab at the top of the editing window will display a "*" next to the element name. This indicate that changes have been made but not saved at this point. When the file is saved through the File - Save command the "*" will disappear.
  4. Switch to the Resource perspective and check-in all changed files.
Note: Be sure to check in all files in one batch. If this isn't possible you must undo all changes.
