How element types map to item content types

Edit online

Rational® ClearCase® elements have a type and a subtype that specify how versions of the element are constructed and merged. When an element is imported into a Rational Team Concert repository, its type provides the import process with guidance about how to set the MIME content-type of the resulting item.

When the synchronization process or the ClearCase Version Importer imports a file element into the repository, it maps the elements type to a MIME content type as displayed in Table 1.

Table 1. Element type to MIME content-type mapping
Element type	MIME content-type
binary_delta_file	application/unknown
compressed_file	application/unknown
compressed_text_file	text/plain
file	application/unknown
file_system_object	application/unknown
html	application/html
msword	application/msword
process_def_object	application/unknown
rose	application/unknown
rosert	application/unknown
text_file	text/plain
utf16be_file	text/plain
utf16le_file	text/plain
utf32be_file	text/plain
utf32le_file	text/plain
utf8_file	text/plain
xde	application/unknown
xml	application/xml

If the element type is not included in Table 1, the closest match is used.
