RTC Windows shell: New created files are shown as dilvered - why?
Ho community,
with the windows shell I got the problem that in one sandbox files which I recently created are shown instantly as already checked-in (orange icon) rather than to be delivered (black arrow). As workaround I created a new sandbox for my repository, copied my changed files from the first sandbox --> I got the changes as to be delivered. What could the problem be? Environment: RTC Windows Shell client 4.0.3 Server 4.0.4 Marco |

Hi Marco,
What are you preferences set to? Auto check-in? You can see your check in preferences in the control panel at Rational Team Concert Shell Control Panel->Manage Preferences->Check-in Policies. Only if it's set to auto check in will your changes have the black arrow soon as you create files/change files. Otherwise they should have a yellow icon that indicates Unresolved.
If you're seeing neither, then please log a defect on jazz.net (the help section in the control panel has a button that lets you log a defect easily), please set your trace level to Info or Verbose (via Manage Preferences->Other Preferences) and attach your trace file to the work item (The help section has a link for saving your logs).
Cheers

Also, try right clicking on a file that has the orange icon and selecting Pending Changes Status. What does that show you?

Hi guys,
thanks for your advise. I checked that the auto check-in is disable and that the file is really shown as delivered... even though that the file can't be delivered since I didn't check-in neither delivered it. The file will get the the symbol for delivered and will be shown as delivered and won't appear in the pending changes view when I create it from scratch. What I will get is an error when I try to open the repository file or show the history of the file. I'll provide you whit an screen shot as soon as possible, because this this happend at a computer, I don't have access to this week. Greetings Marco |
If this is the case I can recommend to open a defect record on jazz.net or a PMR with IBM Support if you have a support contract.

Can you share a screenshot of how your original sandbox looked like?
Please note that the shell client as of version 4.0.3, features auto-checkin functionality in basic mode:

Hi Marco,
I don't have first hand experience with the shell client, but hopefully I can help anyway. I think we have a terminology confusion. Files that have already been checked-in are files that are ready to be delivered. I'm guessing there is one color arrow for files that have not yet been checked in and a different color arrow for files that have been checked in and are ready to be delivered.
