Adding Existing Packages and Elements to a VCS
Packages and the supported elements within them that were created prior to the installation of the VCS Integration feature can be added by applying the Check In or Check Out command, subject to the following behavior:
When either command is applied to a package or a folder, all of the supported elements within the container’s hierarchy are added to the VCS.
When either command is applied to a folder or an element in a folder, the package and all of the folders in the path to the folder or element will also be added to the VCS. However, the remaining contents of the package and those higher-level folders will not be added to the VCS.
When a folder containing coded services (Java and C/C++ for example) is added to the VCS, all of coded services in that folder will be added to the VCS.
When you apply the
Check Out command, the selected item is added to the VCS and then placed in a checked out state.
Be sure to check in the elements when you have finished working with them. For more information, see
Checking In Packages and Elements. For more information on which element types are subject to the VCS Integration feature, see
Configuring the VCS Integration Feature.
