Check-In options in the Client.ini file¶

Various Check-In settings can be made for the computer on which you are working locally. These are listed below.

The first two settings can be configured both in the Client settings dialog and via client parameters in an INI file. The last setting mentioned can only be configured in the INI file.

Deleting components locally after Check-In¶

After a successful Check-In, the local working directory is automatically deleted.

• Client settings dialog > Check-In/Check-Out tab
• Configuration in the Client.ini file (\vdClientArchive\VD$A\Configuration\Client.ini)

Setting the maximum number of versions to be archived locally¶

Here you can set how many archives should continue to be stored locally after a successful Check-In. If the number is greater than 0, exactly this number of archives (Archive.zip) is kept locally. Older versions are deleted based on the timestamp.

• Client settings dialog > Check-In/Check-Out tab
• Configuration in the Client.ini file (\vdClientArchive\VD$A\Configuration\Client.ini)

Performing a detailed comparison during the Check-In process¶

Comparison between the working directory and the current version is always carried out during Check-In and, if differences are detected, this is indicated in a message.

• By default, the binary data and the timestamp are compared (depending on the configuration of the component type). This comparison is called First-Level Comparison.
• A Detailed comparison can also be carried out. Detailed comparison is carried out using the comparators (compare classes) defined in the component type.
• Configuration in the Client.ini file (\vdClientArchive\VD$A\Configuration\Client.ini)
