To check out objects using PowerBuilder

  1. In PowerBuilder, perform one of the following actions:
    • Select Check Out from the context menu for a checked-in object in the Workspace tab of the System Tree window or in the Library painter. Checked-in objects are marked by a green dot.
    • Select a checked-in object in the Library painter and click Entry > Source Control > Check Out.
    • Select a checked-in object in the Library painter and click the Check Out icon:
  2. In the Check Out window, select the objects to check out; enter any remarks in the Comment field.
  3. Then take one of the following actions:
    • To check out the objects, click OK.
    • To override the default checkout behavior, click Advanced. In the Options window, the options are as follows:
      Reserved
      Does not allow users to check out the same element from the same branch at the same time.
      Unreserved
      If an element that you attempt to check out is already checked out as reserved, this option allows an unreserved checkout.
      Preserve file modified time on checkout
      Enables you to specify Rational® ClearCase® behavior when checking out objects. When this option is selected, the time stamp of an element is not modified when you check it out. The time stamp reflects the time that the element was last saved.

    The results of the checkout operation appear in the PowerBuilder Output window. If the checkout succeeds, a green check mark appears next to the object name in the Workspace tab of the System Tree window.
