PH31419: CLEARTEAM EXPLORER INCORRECTLY LOADS ALL VISIBLE ELEMENTS INTO AN AUTOMATIC VIEW DURING DIRECTORY BROWSING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using IBM ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) in an
  automatic view, pauses are observed while browsing directories.
  Further investigation reveals that CTE is actually loading
  previously-unloaded versions into the Automatic view cleartext
  caches.
  
  The same behavior is observed when performing an "rcleartool ls"
  operation in an automatic view.
  

Local fix

• None, this behavior is not observed in ClearCase 9.0.1.8.
