clearcase and glob. variable

[idhaa]

hi folks,
now i use clearcase with labview 8 over four month and so far i have no larger problems.
But, today i change a gobal variable in my project an labview missed to check out the concerned vi´s.
The workaround is to check out every vi that comprise the glob. variable manually.

And yes, i have set the labview option to check out the recursive vi´s automatically.

Glad to hear that your experience with LabVIEW 8's source control integration is going well. Regarding your issue, I assume the option you have enabled is "Include callers when checking out files". Is that correct? If this is the case, in order for this option to find the callers, they must be in memory. From the help for that option - "The only callers that appear in the dialog box are callers that are in memory when you check out the files." What developers do sometimes is create a shell VI that contains all their VIs that are part of their development project. When this VI is opened it loads all the associated subVIs into memory. So when using source control, the VIs are in memory and when you edit your global, the callers will get added to the check out list.
