Resolution
When checking in with Workbench Explorer View
The Checkin dialog lets you search for and select which specific files, or types of files to check in. On the main window for the Checkin process, click the green "+" icon next to the file name list box.
On the "Find File" window, search for the file name within your selected folder. In the "Name" field, wildcard and regex expressions are accepted. Click the "Find" button and then highlight the file in the resulting list to check in and click "OK".
The selected file names are returned to the main checkin window. Click "OK" to complete the checkin.
When checking in with the Workbench or Eclipse workarea
On the Tools -> Preferences window, the Ignored Resources tab is used for a “global” restriction.
If you want to narrow it to specific projects in the SCM Workareas, and set up your “Ignored Resources” in the workarea instead of using the Global preference. The following link explains how this can be done: “Get Started with the Workbench - File and Directory Exclusions”
Another section of the documentation that explains about this topic is: "Work in the WorkAreas - Ignored Files”
When checking in using the "hci" command line utility
The "-s filename | pattern" option of the hci command can be used to limit checkin to specific file names or types. Wildcards can be used here.
