Clearcase Tip : unreserved checkout

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

Learned from here.
