Checked out version, but could not copy data to “file” in view: File exists

Posted on May 22, 2008

Error message:

% ct co -nc file

cleartool: Warning: Unable to rename “file” to “file.keep”: Read-only file system.
cleartool: Error: Checked out version, but could not copy data to “file” in view: File exists.
Correct the condition, then uncheckout and re-checkout the element.
cleartool: Warning: Copied checked-out version data to “file”.
cleartool: Warning: Checked-out version is not selected by view.
Checked out “file” from version “/main/19″.

Solution:

Pls check you config spec to see if you comment the rule “element * CHECKEDOUT”.

If so pls uncomment it.Then

%cleartool unco file

%cleartool co -nc file

Good Lucks!
