Checkin and checkout requirements

To gain access to files to perform checkin and checkout operations, the following must be in place:

• The development environment must be configured and set up. Depending on whether your company has chosen to adopt the UCM process, VOBs or UCM Projects should be in place, including the development and integration streams or branches.
• For existing projects, specific versions of project-related files are selected as the starting point for the next development effort. For new projects, the development infrastructure has been defined and set up.
• As an individual contributor in a project, you have mounted the VOBs that hold all project-related files, and you have created a view (dynamic or snapshot) to access such VOBs.
