multiple checkins and undo
![]()
Hi,
I had a problem yesterday when I made further changes to a file that I had checkedin days earlier (but not delivered) and then decided to undo that days changes. I used the replace menu to give a list of savepoints (every 10 minutes or so) and restored to a previous day. So all OK. I am not sure whether this was an Eclipse or RTC feature. But it made me wonder where changes are stored after a checkin. I believe the story is that changes are initially in my sandbox (c:\ somewhere) and show as unresolved. Then they are checked in (shown in outgoing) and stored in my workspace on the server. But further changes do not show as unresolved (or did not on my system) and only by selecting the file in outgoing can I undo. And I did not want to lose those changes. So can someone explain what hapens here. Regards, John |

Hi John,
Initially, changes are stored on your local computer. When you check-in the changes, they are stored on your RTC repository workspace on the server. Further changes you make at this point should show up as unresolved. If you have your settings set so that files are automatically checked-in upon save, they will not show up as unresolved. You can check your settings by going to Window > Preferences and then expanding Team > Jazz Source Control > Check-in Policies. This video has a great explanation of Jazz Source Control: https://hub.jazz.net/help/scm_intro-video. Comments Hi Lauren,
I can't think of why your changes after check-in aren't showing up as unresolved. Are the changes not being saved or are they automatically going into the checked-in changeset? Can you list the steps you are taking? Maybe that would help narrow down what is going on.
I think I found the problem - my workspace keeps being unloaded. Not sure why this is happening - it will say loaded but then look later and it is not loaded.
I'm not sure why your workspace would be unloading on its own. The only way I know of to prevent changes from being overwritten when you load is to have the changes checked-in.
John any chance you are loading your workspace to multiple sandboxes?
