I’m having some issues with my default.magic file in clearcase when adding files to clearcase.
When I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\config\magic the default.magic file is not visible in windows explorer or by doing a dir in a cmd window.
However I can open the file in a text editor and make changes to it. (Via the open dialog).
What is going on? Is it possible clearcase can’t find its own file?
I am not sure why the
default.magicfile, wouldn’t be visible, but it is best to leave that default file untouched.As explained in Evaluating multiple magic files, you can define multiple magic files for you to test.
In “About the ClearCase Magic file“, you would, for Windows (including CC7.1+) create a
cc.magicfile (in the same directory as thedefault.magicfile). And that file would be visible enough.
