Check-Out Paths

The From and To check-out paths work together to help you synchronize the internal (repository) and external (file system) structures. You typically use the From and To paths to establish a point at which paths in the repository mirror working directories on the client.

The view path displayed in this field is determined in one of the following ways:

• If you use the Find Version dialog to select versions, the most common path in the version list populates this field. When your list changes, the field is updated to display the most common path.
• If you select a View folder or an item or version in a View folder, and execute the check-out process, the view path for the selected item is used.
• When you select an item for check-out, CA Harvest SCM automatically selects the item's latest versions without tags to populate the check‑out list. If the Versions list contains folders or versions outside the From view path (not a descendant of the view path), the check-out cannot continue. An error message cautions you about unexpected results.
