Development without SCM

VRC structure

If SCM is disabled for an application, LN Studio generates an Activity VRC on the LN server for each activity. In this VRC a software engineer can modify software components without disturbing other software engineers.

This diagram shows an example:

These VRCs are used:

• The 'old' VRC contains software components developed in a previous project.
• The Project VRC contains all finished software components for the project. From this VRC, deliveries to customers are carried out, once the project is completed.

  Note: The project VRC is the Export VRC linked to the Base VRC of the Application to which the project belongs. Therefore, the project VRC contains finished software components for other projects defined for the same application.

• Activity VRC. Contains checked in and checked out software components for an activity. The activity VRC is generated automatically when you open the activity for the first time. The components in this VRC are only accessible for the software engineer to which the activity is assigned. However, other software engineers can access these components if they put this activity in the activity context of their own activity.
