SCM Anybody?

Hi,

I could use some help with this. We're using SCM. If a developer creates a new element, say a query and update SCM, I can then see the new query in the Project Tree. However, the file is not present on my hard drive and thus a red x is shown in the tree on that query.

So the question is, how do I force down the file so I physically have it?

Thanks
Glenn

Glenn:

"Refresh from all the elements" from the SCM menu, or the icon update all the elements.

We use the SCM every day and is great but, I have found that when one programmer creates a new element, and you update via the options above, or say you load the project and update everything, the new elements dont work, because the code is not recognized, I have to go in every where there is code, in order to make some change, for instance, add a space, and now the code is recognized.

I have reported this to PcSoft, but as always, they ignore problem.

Hi Glenn,

You must be project master in order to add an new element to the SCM.

If you are not connected to the SCM as the project master but as usual as guest, then the object is added locally. Although is updated into all the extracted directories, it is not found in the project of the other developers. They have to open the object, check it out, change a stupid thing, compile the object, save and add it to the project.
Even if you cancel your extraction after these few steps, the object remains in your project tree and will run as if nothing happened. Until you retrieve the master version of the project.

Only if the project master adds an object, it is added for all guests.

This is somehow changed in WD12 and SCM12 where a third option is added to the SCM >> Project Managment >> Manage the project checkout automatically.

Kind regards,

Thanks..... What we found is if you add it to the SCM form the SCM Administrator panel, it all works as expected.
