I am not sure how normal that practice is. It all depends on your projess and if you have MultiSite and reqmaster involved you have to do unreserved (and nmastered) checkouts. So a preop-co trigger can enforce a single co, but it depends on your process and code base whether that makes sense. A reserved co can always be unreserved and then the first ci "wins"; Everybody else will have to merge - and CC will tell them that when they try to ci.
Back to the original question: there is no icon that will alert the user to a checkout by another user in either the win or ux GUI. running lsco or looking at the version tree are the options to get the info. hth Martina Don't Postpone Joy - Have Fun Martina Riedel Siemens Communications, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Naidu, Om (LABOR) Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [cciug] Reserved Checkout basic question You can have one by writing a trigger on pre-checkin and pop-up a nice message with all the information about who has it checked out unreserved also with an option to the user to continue checkin or abort. However, it is a normal practice, at least, in base ClearCase, to block unreserved checkouts.

(Similar to Visual Source Safe which displays the name of user checked-out the file). Currently one developer uses reserved checkout but developers dont see any visible sign and when they try to checkin (unserved checkout) - error message pops up. A visiual indication can save a bit of hassle.
