Checking out units from the PVCS Dimensions archive

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

  1. In the Configuration Items window, select a unit that has been added to the archive.
  2. Click the Check Out button to open the SCC Options window.
  3. Select the Include descendants check box on the SCC Options window if you want to include nested units in the Check Out operation.
  4. Type a comment describing the units you are checking out.
  5. 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.
  6. If you opened an Advanced Options window, click OK to close it after you make your selections.
  7. 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.
