Does the LabVIEW 6.1 SCC check-in function work properly for multiple files?

[KevinW]

I have a project with around 400-odd vi's, and several C source files in SCC. I recently upgraded to LabVIEW 6.1, and checked out all of these files.

On trying to check them back in, I lauch the SCC provider, and "Select Checked Out". However, once they have been automatically selected, the "File->Check In" option is greyed out! Why can't I check in all files automatically too?

I also really miss the "Select All" function that 6.0.2 had. Paging through many pages and Shift-clicking everything is painful.

Can anyone help?

Kevin,
The Check-In option gets grayed out when you select VIs in the list that were not checked-out first. Make sure that all the VIs that you want to check-in have (username) next to them. This indicates that they were checked-out.
Also, make sure that "Checkout States" option is selected.

Thanks for your reply.

However, in the SCC provider, I click on menu "SELECTIONS" and "Select Checked Out Files".

I manually confirmed that each file which was automatically selected had a username associated with it. "Checkout States" is also automatically selected. However, all the options on the "FILES" menu remain greyed out after the files are highlighted.

I have just noticed that they eventually become enabled again, after 2 or 3 minutes. I wonder if it is because I have the source control running from a server. But this happens only AFTER the files are highlighted, so it is strange. I will try further to figure out what is wrong.

The process of selecting files to be checked in definitely does not work correctly. By manually taking a sample of already checked out files, and some non-checked out files, sometimes "Check In" is greyed out, and sometimes it is not.
