Using a source control system with PocketBuilder

PocketBuilder provides a direct connection to external SCC-compliant source control systems.

Before you can perform any source control operations from PocketBuilder, you must set up a source control connection profile for your PocketBuilder workspace, either from the System Tree or from the Library painter. Even if you use the PBNative check in/check out utility, you must access source-controlled objects through an SCC interface that you define in the Workspace Properties dialog box.

The source control connection profile assigns a PocketBuilder workspace to a source control project. Setting up a source control project is usually the job of a project manager or administrator. See “Project manager’s tasks”.

NoteCreating a new source control project Although you can create a project in certain source control systems directly from PocketBuilder, it is usually best to create the project from the administrative tool for your source control system before you create the connection profile in PocketBuilder.
