Undoing Checkout with an External SCM Tool (Windows)

Normally, after you check classes or interfaces out of the SCM repository, you modify them and then check them in again. If you decide not to check in your changes, you should cancel your checkout to make the program elements available to other users of the SCM repository.

To cancel checkout of classes and interfaces:

  1. From the Workbench window, select the classes and interfaces that you wish to make available again. To select all classes within a project or package, select the project or package.
  2. From the pop-up menu, select Tools > External SCM > Undo Checkout.
  3. VisualAge for Java will pass the list of classes and interfaces to the SCM tool, which validates the request.
  4. If there are no problems, the Operation Complete dialog box will appear. Click OK.

Other developers can now check the classes and interfaces out of the SCM repository. Depending on the external SCM tool that you use, a backup copy of the classes and interfaces may be created on your workstation.
