Refresh Check-Out Status

For a managed file that CA Harvest SCM controls, you can update its status in the Solution Explorer. Depending upon the status of the file in CA Harvest SCM repository at that time, the file is refreshed with the latest status.

To refresh the checked-out status of a file

1. From Solution Explorer, select a managed file.
2. Right-click the file and select CA Harvest SCM, Refresh CheckOut Status from the shortcut menu.

   The status is updated.

Note: In a parallel development environment, this function is useful because it refreshes the local file and its status from the CA Harvest SCM repository. The updated status helps reduce server errors because the local file status is synchronized with the repository.
