Hijacked file in Clearcase

Developers and coders who have their codes under Clearcase version control, often come across the hijacked file scenario. The scenario arises with a snapshot view ONLY and never with a dynamic view.

If you try to modify a loaded file within the snapshot view, without checking it out, it results into the file getting hijacked.

Since the file is not checked out, there's nothing to checkin. So in order to merge your changes, you will have to first checkout the hijacked files and then checkin.

If you want, you can later undo the hijacked files.
