Invokes the standard Windows file-selection dialog. Windows refers to your Source Control Options to determine which is the default directory. To change the default directory, select File [image] Administration [image] Source Control Options and change the project directory.


Checking In Files

Before checking in a file, make sure you have completed the ClearCase prerequisites.

To access the CheckIn dialog box, select File [image] Administration [image] CheckIn from Oracle Developer/2000 Procedure Builder, Forms or Reports Designer.

This dialog box allows you to check in a file, which means create a permanent, new version of the file stored in a ClearCase VOB.

If you select a file that has not been previously checked in to the VOB, you are presented with the option of having ClearCase make a file element and check in your file at version 1 (i.e., ClearCase executes the mkelem -ci command).

If you ever need to cancel a checkout, use the uncheckout button on the Source Control Options window (select File [image] Administration [image] Source Control Options to access the window).

Checking Out Files from ClearCase

Before checking out a file, make sure you have completed the ClearCase prerequisites.

To access the CheckOut dialog box, select File [image] Administration [image] CheckOut  from Oracle Developer/2000 Procedure Builder, Forms or Reports Designer.

Use this dialog box to check out a file element. Checkout creates a view-private, modifiable copy of a file version. If you select a file that has not been previously checked in to the VOB, after prompting you, ClearCase will make a file element and check out your file at version 1 (i.e., ClearCase executes the mkelem -ci command).

If you need to check out a directory element, use the ClearCase File Browser or command line.
Go to help for the File Browser.

If you ever need to cancel a checkout, use the uncheckout button on the Source Control Options window (select File [image] Administration [image] Source Control Options to access the window).
