Canceling a Checkout

If you do not want to make changes to a checked out file, you can cancel a checkout.

To cancel a checkout:
  1. Select a file that is currently checked out and click ClearCase > Undo Checkout.
  2. If you have made changes to the element, you are prompted to backup the existing file before canceling the checkout. Click Yes or No.
    Important: Any changes you have made to the element will be lost when you undo a checkout.
You can also cancel checkouts in the Pending Solution Checkins window, which lists all checked out elements, displays customizable information, and enables you to perform common functions on the checkouts.
