Please let me know how can this be done !.

You should be able to do it by modifying the config spec of your view (assuming you are in Base ClearCase, not UCM)

element .../aNewBranch /main/LATEST
element /path/... /main/0 -mkbranch aNewBranch

Note the order:

• first try to select the LATEST version of the "aNewBranch",
• then select version 0 with possibility of making a branch if there is a checkout

See How a ConfigSpec works and Writing a ConfigSpec for more.

In addition to the answer by VonC, do not assume that branch with name /main always exist. The type of the "main" branch can be changed, so for example it can be called /head instead.
