Improved handling of the Open from Source Control function within Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM® Rational® ClearCase® 2003.06.01 and later has improved handling of the []Open from Source Control[] function within Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET by using a new file with the extension ".ccscc".

Resolving The Problem



The *.ccscc file is a ClearCase Source Control Info file that contains information about the projects in a solution.

This file was introduced in ClearCase 2003.06.01 in order to improve ClearCase's handling of the Open from Source Control function specifically when Virtual Projects are involved.

  • This file is required by ClearCase and needs to be added to source control.
  • The file is created when the project is added to source control.
  • This functionality cannot be disabled and the file cannot be removed.

Note: The *.ccscc file needs to be under source control to support multi-user "Open from Source Control" operations. If this file were left as a view-private, a second user opening the Solution that contains projects would encounter error messages. For solutions that contain mixed projects, the projects will fail to open and remain unavailable.
