Equivalents to Clearcase Symbolic Links in RTC SCM
Is anyone aware of a way I can create equivalents to symbolic links within RTC SCM?
Currently in ver 2 and 3 symbolic links can be imported from Clearcase but the ability for them to be resolved within RTC SCM into a workspace will not be available until RTC ver4. Therefore I am looking for a way to create / mimic symbolic links within a component in RTC ver 2.0.0.2 |

To clarify:
RTC currently supports symbolic links on the unix platform. RTC is scheduled in the next release (4.0) to support symbolic links on Windows file systems that support symbolic links. There is a work item for RTC to simulate symbolic links the way ClearCase does (work item 115144), but that is not in-plan for a release.

Just curious if the handling of the symbolic links is restricted to the same platform, or if it gets translated making the symbolic link usable on any system that supports symbolic links, not just the original system where the link was captured.
