Title: VersionControlCheckout / VersionControlCheckout
Post by: Amaurilo on June 04, 2016, 07:33:28 am
[my primary language is portuguese]

Hi,

I need to perform some mantainance to a package.
My problem is that the package is 2 levels bellow the controlled package.
At my current level of expertise I can only checkout a selected package.
Any help?

Tks
Amaurilo

You have to use the operations on the EA.Package such as EA.Package.VersionControlCheckout

See http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/automation_and_scripting/package_2.html (http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/automation_and_scripting/package_2.html) for more information

Hi Amaurilo,

if your package is below (nested) to a controlled package don't worry. Just check out the controlled package, do your work and check it in. Your nested package is inside it and all the work is stored in Version Control. You can check it by simply reading the *.xml and searching for a few class names or so.

You may think about what packages are to put under version control. In my opinion a fine granulare structure (almost every package under Version Control) is beneficial:

Regards,

Helmut

thank you all for your comments.

I have just discovered  that using the feature "Repository.GetPackageByID()" I can get control of any package in the model. that's what I needed to checkin/checkout.

I Agree with Helmut about granularity but , unfortunately, I can not make adjustments right now.

Best regards
