About checking in VOB links in a snapshot view
When you issue a checkin command from a snapshot view, the request is handled as follows:
- It copies your modifications to the VOB as a new version. The version you check in remains in the view, regardless of the view config spec.
- It removes write permission for the file.
Linux system tip: For any other instance of a
hard-linked file loaded into a snapshot view, the new version is copied from the VOB into your view.
(If your load rules specify a hard-linked element that is displayed in more than one
VOB location, the element is copied into each of the appropriate locations in the directory tree of
your view.)
Windows tip: For any other
instance of the file loaded into a snapshot view, the new version is copied from the VOB into your
view. (If your load rules specify an element that appears in more than one VOB location, the element
is copied into each of the appropriate locations in the directory tree of your view.)
When you check in a symbolic-linked directory from a snapshot view, any other instances of the directory loaded in your view are not updated. As you add file elements to source control, a copy of the element is added to all instances of a parent directory loaded in your view.
