Working with Version Control (Magic xpi 4.1)
To work with Version Control, you should select the Create project in Source Control database option in the New Project dialog box when you create a new project. If you did not select this option when you first created the project, you can enable Version Control by selecting Add to Source Control from the Source Control options in the File menu.
In Magic xpi, when you create a project, the information about your project is held in a number of source files. A source file is an export file that contains project information. Each source file contains a Magic xpi object, such as a repository or program. Even before you begin to develop a new project, the empty project will already have source files for each repository and for the Main Program.
When you are developing a project, you need to have access to all of the project source files. When you are deploying a project, you need either the project source files or a cabinet file holding the project source files.
If you choose, you can develop your projects without using Version Control. When you create a new project, do not select the Create project in Source Control Database option.
Once you open a project in Version Control mode, the source files remain as read-only as long as they are not checked out.

Note:
|
If you define a project to work with Version Control and later remove the Version Control status, any objects that were not yet checked out when you make the change remain as read-only. You will have to remove the read-only status manually.
