  ****************************************************************
  Performing a mkelem command from the IBM Rational ClearCase
  Remote Client (CCRC) command line interface (CLI) needs to
  update new elements parent directory to reflect checkout.
  
  
  When executing the 'mkelem' command using the CCRC CLI, the
  following actions are performed:
  
  1.  New elements parent directory is checked out
  2.  New element is created
  3.  New element is checked in
  
  The 'mkelem' command leaves the parent directory checked out
  - as one would expect.
  
  However, an attempt to checkin the parent directory of the
  new element fails because the local workspace does not get
  updated with the checkout information.
  
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Perform a view update on the parent directory of the new
  element and then the checkin of the directory will be
  successful.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix for this problem is available for ClearCase 7.1.1.8,
  7.1.2.5 and 8.0.0.1
