Setting the File Executable Bit for UNIX

When you add a file from a UNIX operating system, the state of the executable bit is preserved by StarTeam. For each file, there is an Executable check box that becomes selected if the executable bit is set and becomes cleared if the bit is not set. Future check-out operations ensure that the executable bit for the checked-out file matches the setting of the Executable check box.

To set the file executable bit for UNIX, do the following:

1. Select a file in the Server Explorer or any of the Eclipse Explorers.

2. Right-click on the file, and choose Properties.

   The Properties dialog box opens.

3. Click File > Properties.

   The File Properties dialog box opens.

4. On the General tab, select or clear Executable.
5. Click OK.
