When you set the ConfigurationManagement:General:UseSCCtool property
to Yes, you can use the Add to Archive Options window
to add a unit to an SCC archive. This property sets for use the standard
SCC interface between IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® and
your configuration management tool.
Procedure
- In the Configuration
Items window, select a unit.
- Click the Add to Archive 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 Add operation.
- Type a comment describing the units you
are adding.
- 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 Add operation has completed. Click Close.
- The PVCS Dimensions output might be displayed in
the Rational Rhapsody output
window on the Configuration Management tab.
This behavior 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 adds the unit to the archive
and changes its mode to read-only (RO) or unlocked.
