(Optional) Click the Restore Default button to restore dialog settings for the currently displayed preferences to their default values.

Your

CA Harvest SCM

preferences are set.

Allow Editing Without Checkout Considerations

We recommend the use of the Allow editing without checkout preference because it improves performance and best suits refactoring operations.

The following considerations apply if you do

not

use the Allow editing without checkout preference:

If you perform any refactoring operations on *.java files, a check-out occurs followed by the corresponding refactoring operation.

If you perform any refactoring operations on files that result in content change of the files, a check-out occurs followed by the corresponding refactoring operation. For example, renaming a java file from a java perspective results in the change of the class name (check-out occur followed by rename operation).

You cannot perform refactoring of a Java package because refactoring of a Java package will result in a check-out of all the files under that package.

If a refactoring operation fails after the check-out for update of files, the files remain reserved and you need to release the files explicitly.

If a refactoring operation fails, a Refactor Error dialog can appear that has Undo and Abort options. This dialog does not impact the workspace; you can click Undo or Abort to close the dialog.

Set Explorer Tree Preferences

The Explorer Tree preferences page lets you specify how to display files, and set indicators that mark packages to show package conditions.

You can display files in one of the following ways:

In the Explorer View tree as children of folders. (Enable the Show Files in Tree option.)

In the Lists View when you select a folder in the tree; the List View automatically appears in the foreground. (Disable the Show Files in Tree option.)

Set Decoration Preferences

CA Harvest SCM

uses image and text decorations to indicate the status of every file and folder. For example, if a file is managed by

CA Harvest SCM

, a cylinder image appears next to that file's icon. If the file is checked out, a checkmark appears along with a right-angle bracket (>) next to the file name.

The

CA Harvest SCM

page of the Preferences dialog lets you modify your decoration settings. You can select text or image decorations or a combination of both.

Click Window, Preferences.

The Preferences dialog appears.

Click Team,

Image decorations

Specifies the character or string that you want to represent the status of the resource. Images appear next to the resource according to the resource's state. If you prefer no image decorations, clear the check boxes.

By clearing the boxes in the Image decorations group you can disable the image decorations but keep the text decorations. This reduces the number of images in your workspace and helps alleviate the problem of reaching an image limit in your application.

Restore Defaults

The default settings on the

CA Harvest SCM

page of the Preferences dialog are a combination of both image and text decorations. Clicking Restore Defaults restores the following settings:

Text decorations

New resources-Asterisk (*)

Managed resources-Blank
