In some relocate scenarios, the latest version of a relocated element’s parent directory does not catalog that relocated element. In some circumstances, you might want to add such cataloging manually, in the form of symbolic links.
cd \new
cleartool ln –slink –nco dir1 \bigdir@@\main\3\dir1
Modify non-checkedout directory version "\bigdir@@\main\3"? [no] yes
Link created: "\bigdir@@\main\3\dir1"
