Enabling the Interface

---

You enable and partly configure the interface to an external source control system using the Development Tools Options dialog box.

To enable the source control interface

Select the Tools > Options menu option.

The Development Tools Options dialog box appears.

Select the Check In/Out tab.

The Check In/Out tab in the dialog box appears.

Click the Enable Source Control Integration check box to set it to TRUE.
Click the "Show execution of the integration batch file" check box to enable this feature. A DOS window is launched in the foreground when the srcctrl.bat batch file is executed. This feature is for diagnostic purposes and facilitates debugging a customized batch file.
If the srcctrl.bat file is in a different directory location than the one indicated, type in a different location or select it using the Browse button.

By setting the Enable Source Control Integration check box to TRUE and specifying a srcctrl.bat batch file, you are informing the system that it is to generate an archive file for each project when performing repository check-in, and to run the batch file at the conclusion of repository check-in. The batch file executes command-line interface commands that are specific to the source code control software you are using. Each command-line command launches the external source control software with instructions to check an archive file or files into the source control system.

Archive files for source code control have the same format and .sif filename extension as an archive file generated with the Export feature. One .sif file is generated for each project checked in to the server repository.
