The same issue fixed for ClearCase UCM should also be fixed for Base ClearCase; see the discussion at http://hudson.361315.n4.nabble.com/Base-ClearCase-use-cleartool-setcs-cur-overwrite-to-update-view-td2316766.html#a2316766.

Here's the description from JENKINS-4569

ClearCase config specs can include files containing additional rules. When
updating a view with a config spec containing include statements, the included
files are not re-evaluated. If an included file has changed the change is only
seen by ClearCase when the config spec gets re-evaluated. This can be achieved
by calling:

cleartool setcs -current

Since apart from re-evaluating the config spec 'cleartool setcs -current'
behaves exactly the same as 'cleartool update' i would propose to replace the
use of 'cleartool update' with 'cleartool setcs -current'.
