To prepare your development view for a rebase operation using the HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer (Windows)

About this task

Before you start a rebase operation, check in all files and directories in your development view. You cannot start a rebase operation from a view that contains checkouts.

Procedure

  1. In the HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer Folder pane, access the project development view. Right-click the view root directory and then click Find Checkouts.
  2. In the Find Criteria window, select the following check boxes:
    • Include subfolders
    • Search only for your checkouts
    • Search only for checkouts in the current view
  3. Click OK.

    Find Checkouts produces a list of file or directory versions checked out to your development view and indicates which activity each checked-out version belongs to.

  4. To see which changes are in a checked-out version:
    • To see the differences between the previously checked-in version and the current version, click Tools > Compare with Previous Version.
    • To see checkin comments, click Tools > History.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • To write to the VOB the changes for a given file, check it in. Select the file and click Tools > Check In.
    • To undo your changes for a file, cancel its checkout. Select the file and click Tools > Undo Checkout.

      During the cancel checkout operation, you can choose to save your changes in a view-private file.
