I'm having some issues with the installation of Rational Team Concert on my server.

The thing is that when I upload some changes to the server (any kind), it changes the last modified attribute of the file, but it shouldn't do it.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

Thank you in advance!

This is something that we have tried to add to RTC SCM (and we still plan to). However, we found that it needs to be an option on load/update.

There are numerous details and discussions available @ this work item on jazz.net

Regarding timestamp, getting over the fact that relying on it in a version control tool isn't always considered a best-practice (see "What's the equivalent of use-commit-times for git?"), it is actually a complex issue:

  • an SCM loader wouldn't use just timestamp to determined what file has changed (Task 179263)
  • you can have various requirements for that timestamp (like in Defect 159043, where the file timestamp of the modified file on disk that of when it was delivered, not when I accepted.). The variable JAZZ_CCM_SKIP_MOD_TIME=true is mentioned so check if that could improve your specific case.
  • it is all based on the assumption the timestamp is correctly set by the local workstation, which isn't always true, as illustrated in Task 77201
