Version control: configure existing package

[Uffe]

Hi!

Situation:

• A small project (4-6 people), using separate .EAP files and external version control (ClearCase).
• Container package ("Use Cases") is controlled.
• Individual packages ("Use Case 001"), directly beneath the container package, are also controlled.
• The structure has been set up by someone who is no longer with the company. The remaining people are non-power users.
• Someone has added a new "Use Case 094" and made it controlled in their .EAP file, and checked "Use Cases" back in.
• After Get All Latest, "Use Case 094" shows up in the others' .EAP files as a package with a single red dot on the left (the bottom icon in the Project Browser Indicators list). It has no contents.

What is the correct procedure to include this in the other users' projects? Is it
1) Refresh the version control repository
2) Package Control -- Get Package?

Just want to make sure before I tell them what to do.


Cheers,

Hi Uffe,

I think refreshing the local version control repository copy and 'Get Latest' should be the right way.
'Get Package' imports the package described in the selected XMI as a child into the selected package.

The red dot means that the package is marked as controlled but not as VC.
