Error description

• When having a model open in IBM Rational Software Architect
  RealTime Edition (RSARTE) with Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE)
  and performing a merge of a file that is part of the loaded
  model from the command line using IBM Rational ClearCase
  'cleartool findmerge' command, then the status of the file after
  the merge is completed is inconsistent. The file is shown in the
  checkouts view, but the commands that should be available,
  example 'checkin' or 'Undo Checkout' are not available. Instead
  'checkout' is available.
