Clearcase: I can't see the latest version of file.xyz.

Question

I just added a new file to the Project X directory. How come no one can see the new file in any of their views?

Answer 1

Typically, either the version containing the desired changes is CHECKEDOUT to a different view, or the user is in a view whose config spec doesn't select the "latest" version the user is looking for. Often the problem is that the term "latest version" is ambiguous. Ask the user whether he means latest in production, QA, in his development sub-team, etc.
