PM69573: CCRC web view reverts to 'Last Modified' time from VOB after checkout with hijack content

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When checking out a file element in IBM Rational ClearCase
  Remote Client or ClearTeam Explorer using a hijacked file, the
  'Last Modified' time displayed in the web view graphical
  interface will reflect the mtime of the version that was checked
  out rather than the mtime of the private hijacked file that was
  used for the checkout. This occurs whenever the option is select
  in the client preferences to 'Preserve version creation time
  when files are updated or loaded from the server' even though in
  this case neither update nor load occurs.
  
  Steps to reproduce the issue:
  
  1) Ensure the option to 'Preserve version creation time when
  files are updated or loaded from the server' is selected in the
  client preferences.
  2) Load elements from a VOB into a CCRC or CTE web view. Note
  the 'Last Modified' time reflects the checkin time of the
  version.
  3) Hijack a file element and make a change. Note the 'Last
  Modified' time changes to reflect the time of the alteration.
  4) Checkout the file and elect to use the hijacked content. Note
  the 'Last Modified' time reverts to the checkin time from the
  VOB and does not reflect the hijacked change.
  
  Workarounds:
  None known. Changes to the checked out file after the issue
  occurs, however, will update the 'Last Modified' time
  accordingly.
