In Clearcase, sometimes files are not visible because they get eclipsed. This is because another object of the same name is being currently selected by the view.
This usually happens when the dynamic view is unable to delete the local copy of the checked out file even after you check it in. This view-private file thereby eclipses the file and is not visible.
One of the reasons why Clearcase is unable to delete the local copy is because some other 3rd party tool is accessing and locking the file.
Eclipsed files are denoted by the half-moon symbol as shown below:
