Usage of SCM
The usage of SCM has an impact on the VRC structure on the LN server. It also impacts the way configuration management actions, such as check in and check out, work.
The usage of SCM is optional. If you use SCM, you must at least activate SCM for the project VRC(s) on the LN server. Additionally, you can enable SCM for your LN Studio application(s).
The following situations can be distinguished:
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| SCM for project VRCs and applications | SCM is activated
for the project VRC(s) on the
LN
server and for the applications in
LN Studio.
This is the preferred scenario if your
LN
server supports SCM.
Each time you check in a component, LN Studio generates a new revision. Other software engineers can use (not modify) your checked in components. |
| No SCM | SCM is disabled
for the project VRC(s) on the
LN
server and applications in
LN Studio.
LN Studio does not generate any revisions. Other software engineers can use (not modify) your checked in components and your checked out components. |
