Checking Out Projects from the Server Repository

When you check out projects from the server repository, the following occurs:

• All objects associated with the projects are locked on the server, preventing other developers from checking them out.
• All objects associated with the projects are copied from the server database to your local database.
• All objects associated with the projects are locked on your local database, allowing you to edit them.

NOTE:  If the Allow Object Locking property is set to TRUE, you cannot check out a project from the server. You must disable object locking to check out a project from the server.

1. Choose Tools > Check Out.
2. In the Check Out dialog box, make sure that the correct repository is selected.
