Note that there are also SCM User properties that are accessible in the properties of a file (Jazz SCM>User Properties).

Comments Thanks for the reply.
can you eloborate where to see the Jazz SCM>User Properties. We are using RTC 6.0.1 and integrated with Eclipse 4.8 pkg.
To see/modify 'user properties' on a file in the RTC Eclipse client do this:
-Right-click on the file in the Package Explorer / Navigator view
-Select 'Properties'
-Expand 'Jazz Source Control' / 'User Properties'
The Help documentation: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.scm.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_scm_eclipse_resourceprop.html
Additional Information:
-Custom attributes on files can only be seen/modified using the command line client (CLI).
-As of RTC 6.0.6, custom attributes on streams can be seen/modified in the Stream editor in the RTC Eclipse client (previously only the CLI could be used)
-As of RTC 6.0.6.1, custom attributes on snapshotscan be seen/modified in the Snapshot editor in the RTC Eclipse client (previously only the CLI could be used)
-As of RTC 6.0.7, custom attributes on baselines can be seen/modified in the Baseline editor in the RTC Eclipse client (previously only the CLI could be used)
Thanks David! As of today 
then
With this approach I am able to add the property of the file.
One query with this approach I have. Could you please provide your inputs.
1. By adding/modifying the Property it is updating the file version.
is there any way to restrict, not to update the file version for adding/modify/deleting of the property

RTC source control user properties always require a change to be done and a new version of the file and change set to check in and to deliver the change.
RTC source control attributes can be defined to allow modification without requiring a file change and a change set.

I believe the creation/modification/deletion of a file attribute never causes a file change, and never requires a change set. Geoff, my summary was, that we have

My comment was just to make sure that the phrase "can be defined to allow modification without requiring a file change and a change set" was not interpreted as "you are allowed to specify in the file attribute definition whether it requires a file change and change set to be modified".

Thanks David and Ralph Schoon .
Similar to Adding/modifying User Properties, if it would have supported custom attributes it would be nice.
Comments The Enhancement Request Community is open and accessible for everyone.
BTW: The main purpose for all these means to store information was custom automation. So the assumption was that custom code would make the information available.
