Checking Packages Out of Revision Control

Checking Packages Back Into Revision Control

Software Manager Reference
When you check a package out of Revision Control, Software Manager unlocks the
package in its source path. You can view the package's source path on the Source tab in
the Package Attributes dialog box.
See Viewing and Editing Package Attributes
Only the user who checks out a package can edit the package or check it back in.
However, the user account under which Wise Package Studio was installed can undo any
check out.
If the package you are checking out has dependents, a warning message appears saying
that modifying the package may render the dependent packages unusable.
See About Package Relationships
To check packages out of Revision Control
1. In the Applications/Packages pane, select a package.
2. Select Packages menu > Revision Control > Check Out.
For the user who checked out the package, a red check mark icon appears next
to the package in the Applications/Packages pane to indicate that the package is
checked out. The read-only setting is removed from the installation file, and the
file can be edited by the user who checked out the package.
For other users, a blue check mark icon appears next to the package in the
Applications/Packages pane to indicate that the package is checked out by
another user. Other users cannot modify a package that is checked out by
someone else.

Undoing Check Outs from Revision Control
Checking a package back into Revision Control commits any changes that were made to
the package to the Software Manager database.
Note
To view changes made to the package before checking it in, select the latest version in
the Applications/Packages pane and then select Compare from the right-click menu.
You cannot check in packages that were checked out by another user, with one
exception: The NT user who installed Wise Package Studio Server can check in packages
that were checked out by other users. This lets the administrator check in packages that
were checked out by a user who is no longer with the company.
To check in a package
1. In the Applications/Packages pane, select a package.
2. Select Packages menu > Revision Control > Check In.
The Check In Package dialog box appears.
