Fetching a unit from the PVCS Dimensions archive

The Fetch operation fetches the latest version of a unit from the archive without a lock (RO). The alternative is the SCC Check Out operation, which always fetches a unit with a lock (RW).

Procedure

  1. In the Configuration Items window, select the units that you want to check out as unlocked.
  2. Click the Fetch button to open the SCC Options window.
  3. Select the Include descendants check box on the SCC Options window if you also want to fetch nested units.
  4. If your configuration management tool has advanced options, you can click the Advanced button on the SCC Options window to open its Advanced Options window; otherwise the button is disabled. The Advanced Options window that opens is provided by your configuration management tool.
  5. If you opened an Advanced Options window, click OK to close it after you make your selections.
  6. Click OK on the SCC Options window.

    PVCS Dimensions confirms the Fetch operation has completed.
  7. Click Close.

Results

PVCS Dimensions copies the unit from the archive into your workspace without a lock.
