I am workng with base ClearCase. Please consider my config spec:

element * CHECKEDOUT

element /cl5_sw_ste/DCT/*/... /main/rel_drop5/int_drop5/cl5_p65719_AUTE/LATEST

element /cl5_sw_ste/DCT/*/... /main/rel_drop5/int_drop5/LATEST -mkbranch cl5_p65719_AUTE
element /cl5_sw_ste/DCT/*/... /main/rel_drop5/LATEST -mkbranch int_drop5
element /cl5_sw_ste/DCT/*/... /main/0 -mkbranch rel_drop5

INTENT: Any checkout of existing elements automatically occurs on branch /main/rel_drop5/int_drop5/cl5_p65719_AUTE and that this branching scheme is used automatically for the creation of any new elements (of which I presently have none).

When I navigate to the root of VOB cl5_sw_ste in ClearCase Explorer, select New–> Folder from the right pane’s context menu, and try to create my first element—directory element DCT—, I receive the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

Why is this occurring?

Thanks,
Dave

    Those selection rules are for elements inside DCT, not for DCT itself.

    When you are adding DCT, it creates a version in /main/0.
    And none of your rules selects /main/0.

    you should add least add one selection rule at the end:

    element * /main/LATEST

    That is called a “config stop-rule”, as illustrated in “ClearCase Branching using configspec“.
