Set Data Directories

See also

Use Workgroups|Set Data Directories to specify the location of public and private project root directories. PVCS will use these directories to store subdirectories and files which contain information specific to the projects under PVCS version control.

pvcs00000000.gif The public project root directory contains a subdirectory for each PVCS project and the data file PVCSPROJ.PUB.

pvcs00000000.gif The private project root directory contains a subdirectory for each PVCS project in the public project root directory. However, this directory also stores the PVCSPROJ.PRV file, which provides a place for you to change the working directory to which files are checked out for any PVCS project on your workstation. To do this, edit the path in the WKDIR line in the PVCSPROJ.PRV file.

You may have multiple project root directories; however, the Browse PVCS Projects window displays all projects in the public project root directory currently specified in this dialog. You should have a different private root directory for every public project root directory.
