This simple tip is for those who are using clearcase command line interface for work.
In clearcase command line to checkout a file or directory, we type
>cleartool co <file/dir name>
Unfortunately the default checkout option in clearcase is reserved. How to change this default setting to unreserved?
1. create a .clearcase_profile file in your home directory and enter this line,
checkout -unreserved
2. In .bashrc
export CLEARCASE_PROFILE=~/.clearcase_profile
