Clearing the checked-out status of objects
Sometimes you need to clear
(revert) the checked-out status of an object without checking it
back into source control. This is usually the case if you modify
the object but then decide not to use the changes you have made.
When you undo a checkout on an object, PowerBuilder replaces your
local copy with the latest version of the object on the source control
server. For PowerScript and .NET targets, it compiles and regenerates
the object in its target PBL.
Clearing the status of multiple objects
If you select the Undo Check Out menu item for a PowerBuilder
target that is checked out to you, and at least one of the objects
in that target is also checked out to you, PowerBuilder displays
a dialog box that prompts you to:
-
Select multiple
files contained in the target -
Undo the checked-out status for the target file
only
If you select the multiple file option, or if the target file
is not currently checked out to you, the Undo Check Out dialog box
displays the list of objects from that target that are locked by
you in source control. A check box next to each object in the list
lets you choose the objects for which you want to undo the checked–out
status. By default, check boxes are selected for all objects that
are currently checked out to you from source control.
You can also select multiple objects (without selecting a target)
in the List view of the Library painter. The PowerBuilder SCC API
does not let you undo the checked-out status of an object that you
have not checked out of source control. If you use multiple object
selection to select an object that is not checked out to you, PowerBuilder
does not include this object in the list view of the Undo Check
Out dialog box.
To clear the checked-out status of entries:
-
Right-click the object in the System Tree
or in a Library painter view and select Undo Check Out from the
pop-up menuor
Select the object in a Library painter view and select
Entry>Source Control>Undo Check Out from the Library
painter menu.The Undo Check Out dialog box displays the name of the object
you selected. If you selected multiple objects, the Undo Check Out
dialog box displays the list of objects in the selection that are
currently checked out to you. You can also display a list of objects
that are checked out to you when you select a target file. -
Make sure that the check box is selected next
to the object whose checked–out status you want to clear,
and click OK.
