Organizing libraries

You can organize your libraries any way you want. For example, you might put all objects of one type in their own library, or divide your target into subsystems and place each subsystem in its own library.

Sharing objects with others

PowerBuilder provides basic source control using the PBNative check in/check out utility. PBNative allows you to lock the current version of PowerBuilder objects and prevents others from checking out these objects and modifying them while you are working on them.

The project administrator must design a directory hierarchy for the project’s workspace. The administrator might create a separate subdirectory for each target in the workspace, or for each PBL in the workspace. After the administrator sets up the project and registers every object in the workspace, individual developers copy a template workspace to their own computers, open the workspace, and connect to source control.

PowerBuilder also provides a direct connection to external SCC-compliant source control systems.

For more about using PBNative and other source control systems, see “Using a source control system with PowerBuilder”.
