Overview
During the development phase, you may have to work on different computers.
These changes must be indicated in the SCM, as it stores the name of the computer from which the different operations are performed. This information must be updated in the SCM repository whenever a rename operation is performed.
Caution: If you start working on another computer without performing these operations, a message will appear indicating that the element has been checked out on another computer.
How to?

Taking the change of computer name into account

To take the change of computer name into account:
  1. Open the SCM administrator. To do so, go to the "Manage" tab, "SCM" group, expand "Repository" and select "SCM administrator".
  2. In the SCM administrator, on the "Tools" tab, in the "Mobility" group, click "Rename or change computer".
  3. Specify the new name of the computer.
  4. The "Test" button is used to evaluate the consequences of the rename operation.
  5. Validate. The rename operation is performed. You have the ability to re-use your projects found in the SCM.

Taking the change of computer into account

To take the change of computer into account:
  1. When changing computer, the projects used by the SCM must be copied to the new computer in the same directories.
    For example if on computer 1, the projects shared in SCM are found in "D:\MySCMProjects", you need to copy them to computer 2 in the "D:\MySCMProjects" directory.
  2. On the new computer, open the SCM administrator and go to the "SCM" tab, Repository" group, expand "Manage" and select "SCM administrator".
  3. In the SCM administrator, on the "Tools" tab, in the "Mobility" group, click "Rename or change computer".
  4. Specify the new name of the computer.
  5. Validate. The change of computer is taken into account. The projects stored in the SCM can be opened again.
