VSS Support - Get Latest

[pmarcovi]

Hello,

I am trying to use the EA-VSS(SCC) integration. Add, Checkin and Checkout work fine, but all "Get Latest" menu items are disabled and there is no way to update the controlled package with the latest version. The only ways are either to check out the package or to remove and reload. VSS version
I am using is 6.0d (Build 31222).

I will appreciate any help.

Thank you!

The Get Latest menu items will be disabled if the model is shared.  You can tell EA that the current model is not shared (and is therefore used for only one user) by selecting Project | Version Control | Version Control Settings, and then 'This modal is private' at the top of the dialog there.

Thank you for the reply. I did that and now it works!

I am wondering if were we are using the tool the most efficient way to share models and use version control in the same time. We are a team of 8 which will potentially work on some parts of a larger system. The thinking is that we will use the EA's package control feature and its SCC integration to check in the files. Different people will check out, modify and check in various packages, etc.

All this process in my mind is "sharing". That is why the check box in the version control option saying to leave it unchecked if the model is shared, is not very intuitive ...

Any thoughts?
