IBM Rational Rhapsody Generated Files

Question

I am trying to create an IBM Clearcase development view with a Rational Rhapsody project and need to classify all the private files as checked-in files or generated files.

From what I know all of the .cpp, .h and .o files are auto generated but there are several other file formats I cannot find information on. Does anyone know what a .ehl ,.rpw, .save, and a .log files are used for? I have been moving files into far off directories and compiling but it takes hours and the help files do not mention these.

Thank you

You can see the list of types of files which should be (or not be) under version control at "Content management files for Rational Rhapsody".
They are also listed at "Project files and directories".

In particular:

• *.ehl Events history list, which stores animation commands, such as event generation
  Does not require configuration management.
• <Project>.rpw Workspace settings file. Preserves the workspace settings for the project.
  Usually not versioned (private to the user's environment).
• load.log A log of when various repository files were loaded into the product, including any errors that might have occurred during the loading and resolution phases.
• store.log A log recording when the project was saved.
  Both logs shouldn't be versioned.
