You can accomplish common Source Control operations by using a command line interface. This allows you to carry out the Source Control operations without being in the System Modeler environment, or the Source Control application. The Command Line Interface from the Source Control provider works in conjunction with the Import and Export tools. A Source Control provider provides a Command Line Interface to perform a Get, CheckIn or CheckOut of files. You can use AB Suite Export or Import command to either Export a version file element or Import a version file element. The following commands that are permitted in Command Line Interface are:
CheckIn– Check in the indicated elements.
CheckOut– Check out the indicated elements.
Get Latest or Get by Label – Get the latest version of the indicated elements.
Note: The security implementation of the standard Microsoft Visual Studio Source Control API does not allow passing of passwords. This means that even though these are command line functions, they still display an authentication dialog when accessing the source control bank. The dialog varies depending on the source control provider.
