Refreshing the work area | IBM SC34-4499-03 instruction

Command

From a command line, he issues the following command:

teamc workarea -freeze 310 -release robot_control

Result

The freeze command saves the work area 310. Thus, TeamConnection takes a snapshot of the work area, with all its parts and their visible versions, and saves it. Alex can come back to this stage of development in the work area if he wants. Note, however, that a freeze action does not make the changes visible to the other people working in the release, nor does it unlock the parts.

Refreshing the work area

Alex ®nally ®nishes his work on the robot's optical systems after making three additional attempts at modifying optics.c and rebuilding the application. Alex modi®ed and rebuilt the application a total of ®ve times in the work area. Now, he wants to share his work with the rest of the team. His work area currently contains the following parts:

brain.c	leg.c
brain.obj	leg.obj
brain.exe (contains modification 5)	foot.c
arm.c	foot.obj
arm.obj	optics.c (modification 5)
hand.c	optics.obj (modification 5)
hand.obj

While Alex worked in his work area, other members of the team were working on their own modi®cations. Some of these modi®cations have been integrated with the release, so the copy of the release that Alex has is probably stale. If he were to integrate his changes at this time with the release, he might cause the application to break.

Alex ®rst refreshes his work area with parts from the release by doing one of the following:

GUI

From the GUI, he:

1.Selects Work areas → Refresh from the Actions pull-down menu on the Tasks window.

2.Types 310 in the Work areas ®eld androbot_control in the Releases ®eld. Alex wants to refresh from the release, so he does not specify a source.

3.Selects OK.
