SCM: Working with the Source Code Manager
The principle for working with the Source Code Manager is as follows: - All the developers work on a local copy of the project. This project and all its elements are read-only by default.
- By default, when a project element is opened, it is read-only.. To modify it, it must be checked out from the Source Code Manager, modified and checked back in.
Note: The SCM can only be used with operating systems that support data files larger than 4 GB. If the SCM repository is in HFSQL Client/Server mode, the SCM can be used with these operating systems (on the client computers). Working on a shared project in the SCM To work on a project in the SCM: - Implement the required environment (first time only):
- Edit the project:
- Open the project locally.
- If necessary, retrieve all modified elements from the SCM, so that the local project is synchronized with the one in the repository.
- Extract the elements to edit.
- Make changes.
- Check in the element. You can:
Two management modes are available with the SCM: Automatic mode This mode makes it possible to check out the project file if the desired action requires it (regardless of the user). Once the actions have been completed in the project, the project file is automatically checked back in. For example, you can change the first window or page of a project. This information is saved in the project file. When a developer tries to change this information, the project is automatically checked out. Once changes are confirmed, the project file is automatically checked back in. Automatic mode is used by default. To enable or disable automatic mode: - Open the project description window. To do so, go to the "Project" tab, "Project" group, and select "Description".
- On the "SCM" tab, select or deselect "Check out/Check in the project automatically".
Master/Guest mode If automatic mode is disabled, the project is used in "Master/Guest" mode. In this case, the Source Code Manager distinguishes between 2 types of users: - Master: User who initially stored the project in the Source Code Manager.
- Guests: Developers who manipulate the project from the Source Code Manager.
You don't always have work in master mode on a project. The "Master" mode is only required to: - change the project characteristics and check these changes back into the repository.
- check in all the elements to create the executable and the setup program of the application.
To switch from master mode to guest mode, go to the "SCM" tab, "Project" group, expand ""Master/Guest"" and select "Become guest on the project (and check all in)".
In this case, the Source Code Manager proposes to check in all the elements of the project (including the .WDP file). To switch from guest mode to master mode, go to the "SCM" tab, "Project" group, expand "Master/Guest" and select "Become master on the project". Changing the project options
All project users (master or guests) can change the project characteristics (first window of the project, animation, code style, etc.).
However, only the project master will be able to check these changes back into the Source Code Manager.
Changes made by a guest will be lost when the project is updated from the repository. Changing computer If you have to change your computer (or the name of your computer), everything must be checked back in via the SCM administrator BEFORE changing to the next computer.
To open the SCM administrator, go to the "SCM" tab, "Repository" group, expand "Manage" and select "SCM administrator".
