Get

You can get the specific version of a file that is checked in to Visual Studio. If the file has been refactored, you are not allowed to get the previous version of file.

Note: Verify that you have at least one check-out process that includes the check-out for browse mode and does not have pre-linked or post-linked UDPs associated with it. The plug-in requires this check-out definition to get the item from CA Harvest SCM repository.

To get the specific version of a file in Visual Studio

  1. Open the Visual Studio solution that is CA Harvest SCM controlled, and select a file for which you want to view a specific version.
  2. Right-click the file for which you want to get a specific version, and select Versions List from the shortcut menu.

    The CA Harvest SCM Versions List lists entries for every version of the file.

  3. Right-click the version you want to view and select Get from the shortcut menu.

    The file in the local workspace is replaced with the selected version of the file.

Note: Check-out for update is not allowed for an intermittent trunk. When you have replaced an intermittent trunk in the workspace, check-out for update results in an error. However, check-out for concurrent update is allowed on the replaced file.
