Check In (Replace) Command

Command Dialog Options

To replace a file in a CMS library

    1. In Explorer [Filesystems], right-click on one or more mounted files that have been checked out (reserved) from a CMS library and select CMS from the context menu.
      Note A file with the status Locally Modified and that is not Reserved cannot be checked in (because it has not been checked out).
    2. From the CMS menu, select Check In (Replace).
    3. Choose from the following check-in options:

      Remark
      Optionally, enter a descriptive comment.

      CMS generation (optional)
      Leave this field blank unless you want to replace an eariler generation or a variant generation rather than the latest main-line version.

      Note CMS does not permit you to replace an earlier generation of a file. If you reserved an earlier generation of a file, you must specify a variant generation when you replace it.

      Keep your local copy of the file?
      By default, the file that exists in the NetBeans Explorer is left when replacing the file in the CMS library. Unselect this check box only if you want to remove the local copy of the file, so that the status of the file is No Local Copy.

      Keep the file reserved?
      By default, the copy of the file in the NetBeans Explorer returns to the status of Up-to-Date when replacing the file in the CMS library. Only select this check box if you want to keep the local copy of the file reserved (in which you must keep your local copy of the file).

      Prompt for Input on Each Successive File
      Select this option if you want to add different remarks or select different options when checking in multiple files.

    4. Click OK
      A notification message appears (unless you previously selected Do not show) with the result.

Notes

In the Explorer, the source file appears with a checkmark badge and an [Up-to-Date; <n>] status (where <n> is the generation number of the file).
