PH23654: CTE MERGE SEARCH INCORRECTLY LISTS ADDED FILE ELEMENT AS DELETEDWHEN MERGING DIRECTORIES IN A WEB VIEW

Rational ClearCase Fix Pack 3 (9.0.2.3) for 9.0.2
Rational ClearCase Fix Pack 11 (9.0.1.11) for 9.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When merging source-controlled directories in an IBM Rational
  ClearCase web view, the "merge search" process will incorrectly
  list a file added in the source branch as a deleted element. The
  directory merge is in fact completed correctly, but the
  newly-added file will not appear until the view is manually
  updated.
  
  Additionally, the newly added file will appear as the /main/0
  version unless the "source branch" was /main. A second "merge
  search" process will be needed to merge the file contents.
