Displaying the source control version history

For some source control systems, the PowerBuilder SCC API lets you show the version control history of an object in source control. Using this feature, you can determine what changes have been made to an object since it was first checked into source control.

The Show History menu item is not visible if the object for which you want to display a version history has not been added to the source control project defined for your workspace. It is grayed out if your source control system does not support this functionality through the PowerBuilder SCC API.

StepsTo display the source control version history:

  1. Right-click the object in the System Tree or in a Library painter view and

    select Show History from the pop-up menu

    or

    Select the object in a Library painter view and select Entry>Source Control>Show History from the Library painter menu bar.

    A dialog box from your source control system displays.

  2. Select the source control options you want and click OK.

    Some source control systems support additional tracing and reporting functions for objects in their archives. You may need to run the source control manager for these functions. See your source control system documentation for more information.
