Active View Approach

In an active view approach, CA Harvest SCM manages the synchronization of source code versions based on package promotion and demotion. The hsync command locates files across multiple directories, and checks out the latest version of only those items that are associated with active packages based on their state location. Because files move from one reference directory to another, CA Harvest SCM must process multiple reference directories—the directories that correspond to the initial and destination states—when promotes and demotes take place.
