Viewing the status of source-controlled objects
After a PowerBuilder workspace is assigned to an external
SCC-compliant source control project through a connection profile,
icons in the PowerBuilder System Tree display the source control
status of all objects in the workspace. The same icons are also
displayed for objects in the Library painter if the workspace to
which they belong is the current workspace for PowerBuilder.
Source control icons
The icons and their meanings are described in the following
tables.

Compound icons with a red check mark can display only if your
SCC provider permits multiple user checkouts. These icons are
described in the following table:

control.
Pop-up menus
Pop-up menus for each object in the workspace change
dynamically to reflect the source control status of the object. For
example, if the object is included in a source-controlled workspace
but has not been registered to source control, the Add To Source
Control menu item is visible and enabled in the object’s pop-up
menu. However, other source control menu items such as Check In and
Show Differences are not visible until the object is added to source
control.
Library painter Entry
menu
Additional status functionality is available from the Entry
menu of the Library painter. Depending on the source control system
you are using, you can see the owner of an object and the name of
the user who has the object checked out. For most source control
systems, you can see the list of revisions, including any branch
revisions, as well as version labels for each revision.
Library painter selections
When a painter is open, menu commands apply to the current
object or objects in the painter, not the current object in the
System Tree. This can get confusing with the Library painter in
particular, since Library painter views list objects only (much
like the System Tree), and do not provide a more detailed visual
interface for viewing current selections, as other painters
do.
To view the status of source-controlled objects
-
In a Library painter view, select the object (or objects)
whose status you want to determine. -
Select Entry>Source Control>Source Control Manager
Properties.A dialog box from your source control system displays.
Typically it indicates if the selected file is checked in, or
the name of the user who has the file checked out. It should
also display the version number of the selected object.Displaying the version number in the Library
painterYou can display the version number of all files
registered in source control directly in the Library painter.
You add a Version Number column to the Library painter List
view by making sure the SCC Version Number option is selected
in the Options dialog box for the Library painter.For more information, see Controlling columns that display in the List
view.
