Using Check-In and Check-Out › Check-In Process

Check-In Process

The check-in process lets you copy files from the client directory system to CA Harvest SCM, creating items or updating existing items that have changed. To check in an existing item, it must be reserved by a package. If the item was originally checked out for concurrent update, the check-in process updates the current package's branch. If the item was checked out for update or reserve only, the check-in process updates the trunk for the item.

You can check in files from remote locations. For example, you can check in files on an AIX operating environment to a CA Harvest SCM repository managed by a server process that runs on a Solaris operating environment where the file cannot be accessed through NFS. Access to data files in remote locations requires a user name and password for the remote computer.
