Get Latest Version (Fetch) Command

Command Dialog Options

To get the latest version - or a previous generation - of a file in a CMS library without marking it as reserved:

    1. In Explorer [Filesystems], select one or more mounted files that have been added to a CMS library, then right-click the selection and choose CMS from the context menu.
      (A file that is in the source library is indicated by a file status caption other than [Local] or [Locally Added].)
    2. From the CMS menu, select Get Latest Version (Fetch).
    3. Choose from the following fetch options:

      Remark
      Optionally, enter a descriptive comment.

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

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

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

    Notes When you select a form node , you are actually fetching two files in the source control library: the .form file and a corresponding .java file.

    In the Explorer, a fetched source file appears with a checkmark badge and an [Up-to-Date;<n>] status, indicating that the mounted file is under source control and current.
