Using a source control system with PowerBuilder
PowerBuilder
provides a direct connection to external SCC-compliant source control
systems. It no longer requires you to register PowerBuilder objects
in a separate work PBL before
you can check them into or out of the source control system.
For information on migrating PowerBuilder applications and
objects previously checked into source control through a registered PBL, see “Migrating existing projects
under source control”.
Before you can perform any source control operations from
PowerBuilder, you must set up a source control connection profile
for your PowerBuilder workspace, either from the System Tree or
from the Library painter. Even if you use the PBNative check in/check
out utility, you must access source-controlled objects through an
SCC interface that you define in the Workspace Properties dialog
box.
The source control connection profile assigns a PowerBuilder
workspace to a source control project. Setting up a source control
project is usually the job of a project manager or administrator.
See “Project manager’s tasks”.
Creating a new source control project
Although you can create a project in certain source control
systems directly from PowerBuilder, it is usually best to create
the project from the administrative tool for your source control
system before you create the connection profile in PowerBuilder.
