John Lokanis Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Does anyone know what the Source Control Project field in the SCC configuration dialog is for? I am using the Perforce SCM provider. I have read the help, goggled the internets and called NI support but know one seems to know. When I setup SCC, I have to choose something for this field. The dialog that appears has a disabled OK button until I choose a sub folder of my Perforce Depot. If I select a folder, I get error -2915. If instead I continue to expand the tree until I see a file and then select that, it is happy. I just wish I understood what was going on here. Thanks for any help! -John (using LabVIEW 8.6.1 and the latest version of Perforce P4V on Windows XP) Link to comment

All you should have to do is select a folder or file in the depot list. There is a known issue with version 2009.1 of Perforce which behaves as you have described. Previous versions have allowed you to select either files or folders. For now, I would select a file under the depot location. Link to comment

Each SCC provider implements functionality for operations such as Check Out, etc. For Clearcase, for example, getting a project means defining where the local working path will be. So Perforce's implementation displays this dialog. Typically, other IDEs pass in the path of the working project (in the Visual Studio case) and so you don't usually see this dialog. LabVIEW does not require projects but Perforce requires this parameter, so the dialog is required. I would check with Perforce for more information on the dialog. Link to comment
demilk Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The KB linked below gives a detailed answer. The gist is that dialog box is a remenant of making Perforce work with Visual Studio (which I'm guessing requires the SCC to have a "Source Control Project"). Since LabVIEW doesn't require/use a "Source Control Project", you're free to select any .vi without harm. http://digital.ni.co...625716B0058B712 Link to comment
