Using source control manager via SCC API
The PowerBuilder SCC API works with the source control system to
perform certain source control operations and functions. Other source
control operations must be performed directly from the source control
management tool. After you have defined a source control connection
profile for your PowerBuilder workspace, you can open the source
control manager from the Library painter.
To start the source control manager from PowerBuilder
-
Select Entry>Source Control>Run Source Control Manager
from the Library painter menu bar.The menu item name varies depending on the source control
system you selected in the source control connection profile for
your current workspace. There is no manager tool for the PBNative
check in/check out utility.For information on configuring a source control connection
profile, see Setting up a connection
profile.Which tool to use
The following table shows which source control functions you
should perform from the source control manager and which you can
perform from PowerBuilder:Tool or interface
