Placing Individual Files Under Source Control

Note: System include files and data files cannot be placed under source control. Only custom include files and data files can be placed under source control.

Note: Project files (.ltp), script files (.bdh), custom include files, and custom data files can be independently placed under source code control.

In the Project menu tree, choose one of the following:
- Right-click a file and select Add to Source Control from the context menu.
- Right-click the Scripts, Data Files, or Include Files nodes and select Add to Source Control from the context menu to select all files of those types for placement under source control.
The Add to Source Control dialog opens, showing the files upon which the operation is to be performed.
Note: The remainder of this process is handled via dialogs provided by your SCC provider (StarTeam, PVCS, or VSS). See StarTeam, MS VSS, and PVCS documentation for full details regarding the use of your source control system.
Select the check boxes for the files that you want to place into source control.
Note: If not already defined, a source control project path must be defined for each file that is to be placed under source control. If a file marked for placement under source control does not yet have a source control project path configured for it, you will be prompted to configure a path (the source control project of the Silk Performer project file (*.ltp) is suggested by default).

Note: Files added to source control are written to the corresponding *.ltp file. Therefore, to add files to source control, the corresponding *.ltp file must be checked out.
Click Add to place the file under source control. A blue padlock appears next to files in the Project menu tree that are under source control and are currently checked in (read-only). This is the default status of files that are newly placed under source control.
