Hi there,

Please help me. Many Thanks: (PB version 11.2 and PBSCC Proxy 2.01.80)

The issues I encountered were.

- In PB, if you make changes to your local (disconnected from Source Control), it doesn’t give you a visual indicator to say it’s different

- I tried reverting to an older version (in essence, get an older version to my local), and it retrieved it to my SVN folder (C:\SVN\svn_folder), not my PB Working Folder (C:\pb_work_folder)

The main issues I see with PBSCC is that

- Get Latest version, doesn’t actually do that, it gets it from your SVN folder (which may/may not be the latest if you did a reversion)

- It doesn’t give you any visual indicator to tell you that it’s not the latest version

- There is no easy way to rollback / revert to an older version of an object.

Could you please teach me how to fix above issues?

Many Thanks

If it is disconnected from Source Control it has no way to know if there was a difference or not.

If you do the revert or update to a specific revision number on your SVN working copy, PBSCC won't notice the change. You'd have commit your rollback as a new revision, and then do Get Latest Version.

- Get Latest version, doesn’t actually do that, it gets it from your SVN folder (which may/may not be the latest if you did a reversion)

In my experience it just pulls down the HEAD revision from the SVN repository. The SVN working copy on your machine appears to only be there as a middle-man between SVN and PowerBuilder.

- It doesn’t give you any visual indicator to tell you that it’s not the latest version

If PowerBuilder is properly connected to PBSCC-Proxy for source control, you should see little symbols just to left of EVERY object in the Project Tree

little green dot - that object is up to date
little green plus sign - that object is not yet in source control
little round green arrow - that object needs a refresh, get latest version, something like that
little red x - that object is currently checked out and locked by another user
