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. |
