Converting derived objects to view-private files
Using a standard command or program to modify a derived object in any way converts it from a DO to a view-private file.
For example, use ls -long to list a derived object:
cleartool ls -long msg.obj
derived object (shared) msg.obj@@10-Mar.15:33.333
Modify the DO with a standard command:
echo "" >>msg.obj
The ls -long command now lists the file as a view-private object:
cleartool ls -long msg.obj
view private object msg.obj
