In SCC mode, units are always checked out with a lock (RW).
You must add a unit to the archive before you can check it out.
Procedure
- In the Configuration
Items window, select a unit that has been added to the archive.
- Click the Check Out button to open the SCC
Options window.
- Select the Include descendants check
box on the SCC Options window if you want to include nested units
in the Check Out operation.
- Type a comment describing the units you
are checking out.
- 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.
- If you opened an Advanced Options window,
click OK to close it after you make your selections.
- Click OK on the SCC
Options window.
- PVCS Dimensions might display a message box to
confirm that the Check Out operation has completed. Click Close.
- You might see the PVCS Dimensions output in the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® output
window on the Configuration Management tab.
This is controlled by the ConfigurationManagement::SCC::RedirectOutputToRhapsody property.
By default, this property is set to Checked, so messages
are seen in Rational Rhapsody.
Results
PVCS Dimensions copies the unit from the
archive to your workspace and changes the mode for the unit to read/write
(RW) or locked.
