Putting a Project Under SCCS Control

There may be instances where a project is under development before a source code control system is put in place. This scenario assumes a project is already under way and the hierarchy of the project is established. It is assumed that the project is ready to be put under SCCS control.

To put a project under SCCS control:

1. Start Versioning in one of the following three ways:

   • Type twversion at a shell command prompt, with or without a path name, followed by the ampersand symbol (&). For example:

     demo% twversion &

     demo% twversion dirname &

   • Choose TeamWare > Versioning in the Configuring window.

   • Double-click on a workspace icon in the Configuring window.

2. Double click the project directory in the Versioning main window.

   Versioning automatically changes to the selected directory. As there are no files yet under SCCS control, the display shows only directories.

3. Choose Commands > Check In New.

   The Check In New Files window displays a list of files not under SCCS control.

4. Select the files you want to put under SCCS control and add necessary comments in the Initial Comment pane.

5. Click OK button to check in the selected files.

   Once the files are under SCCS control, they will be transferred to the display in the main window.

Repeat this scenario in as many project directories as necessary. Then proceed to the scenario in "Working with a Project Under SCCS Control"" for working with files under SCCS control.
