The Check In operation copies a unit from your working
project into the configuration management archive.
Procedure
- On the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® browser,
right-click the units you want to check in and select .
The Check In window displays with information
displayed for the selected items. If a selected item is locked by
another user, the Locked check box is selected
and the check in operation cannot be executed.
- Select the Include descendents check
box if you want to check in nested units.
- Select the Include corresponding
source artifacts check box, if available, if you want
to check in corresponding source artifacts. (Code preserving information,
such as mapping, ordering, and code snippets, of an element is defined
in a SourceArtifact element, which is typically created by reverse
engineering or roundtripping.)
- Type a Revision Description explaining
the changes in this revision.
Most configuration management
tools ignore the description the first time you check in a unit.
- If your configuration management tool has
advanced options, you can click the Advanced button
to open its Advanced Options window; otherwise
the button is disabled. The Advanced Options window
that opens is provided by your configuration management tool.
- If you opened an Advanced Options window,
click OK to close it after you make your selections.
- Click OK on the Check
In Options window to confirm and check in the units. Rational Rhapsody saves
the project (including concatenating configuration management headers
and footers) before the configuration management tool checks the unit
into the archive.
- Click OK to dismiss
the confirmation message.
Results
Note: In Microsoft Common
Source Code Control (SCC) mode, the Check In operation can be successfully
completed only if a unit is already checked out. If a unit that you
are trying to check in is not already checked out, by default, the
Check In operation is ignored. A message to this effect is displayed
on the
Configuration Management tab of the
Output window.
