Refresh (SCC) Project Tree

The SCC project tree view in SOS Collab Source Code Control window displays a listing of the state of the SourceSafe database as communicated by the SOS Collab System. However, this view may become outdated as changes are made to the database. It will be necessary to manually refresh the SCC project tree view to ensure that the displayed information is up-to-date.

The Refresh Project Tree operation retrieves the most recent folder hierarchy from the SOS Collab System and updates the tree view accordingly. This operation must be manually performed in SOS Collab Source Code Control when projects have been added or deleted in the SourceSafe database. The Refresh Project Tree command refreshes the project hierarchy for the currently selected folder and all its descendants.

To refresh the view of the SCC project tree, highlight the desired project. Then, click the Refresh Project Tree button or select the Refresh Project Tree command from either the View menu of the Windows Client or by right-clicking.

The tree must be refreshed a level above the level of the added or deleted projects. Clicking on the Refresh Project Tree button while a parent project is highlighted will synchronize the subprojects in SOS Collab Source Code Control with the SourceSafe database.

(Please Note: If this command is performed from the root folder, it may be a slow operation as it requires the SOS Collab to traverse the entire SourceSafe database.)
