Summary of VCS Commands

Command

Description

Check Out

Checks out the selected element. When this command is applied to a package, or to a folder in a package, all of the supported elements within the container's hierarchy are checked out. A check mark appears next to a checked out element. Packages and folders do not display the checked out icon.

Note:

If an element has not been previously added to the VCS, applying the Check Out command adds the element to the VCS and places it in a checked out state.

Check In

Checks in the selected element. When this command is applied to a package, or to a folder in a package, all of the checked out elements within the container's hierarchy are checked in. The check mark next to the element in the Navigation panel is removed.

Note:

If an element has not been previously added to the VCS, applying the Check In command adds the element to the VCS and places it in a checked in state.

View History

Displays the View History dialog box with a revision history of the folder or element. This command also displays the lock status of the selected folder or element. Not available for packages.

Revert Changes

Discards all changes made to an element checked out by the current user. When this command is applied to a package, or to a folder in a package, changes are discarded for all of the checked out elements within the container's hierarchy. The Integration Server version of the element is updated with the last version committed to the VCS, and the check mark next to the file in the Navigation panel is removed. After the revert procedure, the entire package is reloaded in Designer.

Get Earlier Version

Updates the Integration Server version of the selected element with an earlier version in the VCS, specified by revision date or VCS label. When this command is applied to a package or to a folder in a package, all supported elements within the container's hierarchy are updated. After the update procedure, the entire package is reloaded in Designer.

If a package or folder contains checked out elements, this command is unavailable.

Get Latest Version

Updates the Integration Server version of the selected element with the most current version in the VCS. When this command is applied to a package or to a folder in a package, all supported elements within the container's hierarchy are updated. After the update procedure, the entire package is reloaded in Designer.

If a package or folder contains checked out elements, this command is unavailable.

Delete
