APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the IBM Rational ClearCase ClearTeam Explorer (CTE)
  interface and any other ClearCase user interface (Command line,
  ClearCase Explorer, etc) in a given dynamic view at the same
  time, checkout comments changed in CTE may not be reflected in
  the other interfaces.
  
  Additionally, checkout comment changes made in the other
  interfaces -- most notably ClearCase Explorer will not be
  visible in ClearTeam Explorer. This lack may persist even though
  you restart the application.
  
  At this time, there is no known workaround. It is best to avoid
  making changes to checkout comments at the same time using
  cleartool chevent, ClearCase Explorer and ClearTeam Explorer.

  ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) may not show the current checkout
  comments for a checked-out version.  Modifications made by
  CTE to checkout comments through a property sheet are lost
  when the version is checked in.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in ClearCase 8.0.0.9 and 8.0.1.2.
