How element types map to item content type

Rational® ClearCase® elements have a type and a subtype that specify how versions of the element are constructed and merged. When an element is imported into a Jazz™ repository, its type provides the import process with guidance about how to set the MIME content-type of the resulting item.

When the synchronization process imports a file element into the repository, it maps the elements type to a MIME content type as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Element type to MIME content-type mapping
Element type MIME content-type
binary_delta_file application/unknown
compressed_file application/unknown
compressed_text_file text/plain
file application/unknown
file_system_object application/unknown
html application/html
msword application/msword
process_def_object application/unknown
rose application/unknown
rosert application/unknown
text_file text/plain
xde application/unknown
xml application/xml

If the element type is not one of the ones shown in Table 1, the closest match is used.
