Significant differences exist between UNIX, Windows, and z/OS operating systems that can affect updating files on these operating systems. Decide how you want to handle file conversion issues when you intend to use mixed clients. You must specify that CA Harvest SCM convert the end-of-line and end-of-file markers. The File Extensions tab of the Repository Properties dialog lets you specify how CA Harvest SCM performs these conversions. Because different repositories may contain different types of code, you can specify different conversion rules for each repository. In a repository, conversions are based on file type (extension). CA Harvest SCM does not automatically execute any file conversions on Windows clients because such a conversion can have negative effects on binary files. When you are loading a repository with files that are in Windows format, and that UNIX clients do not need to access, no conversion is needed.
Note: On the Workbench, you can display file type attributes (binary or text). For information about displaying file type attributes, see the Workbench User Guide.
