Control > Abandon (Apex/Summit)

The Control > Abandon command discards the check out of a set of files and reverts them to a previous version. If the files were checked out with a reservation, they revert to the latest checked in version. If the files were checked out privately, they revert to the version that was the basis for the private check out. Any associations of tasks with the abandon versions are removed. This command displays the Abandon dialog box. It can also be invoked from the Abandon icon on the side toolbar.

Shadowing Fields

These fields have been provided to give better control over shadowing when using DHCP. Most users will want the default settings for these fields. The following explanation is useful for advanced users of shadowing.

When using DHCP, the IP address for the NT machine is assigned dynamically and may be different from the one assigned when shadowing was set up. The IP address of the NT machine which contains the view being shadowed is stored on the CM repository. This address is used by the CM server to communicate with the NT machine. The Current IP Address field shows the current IP address of the current NT machine. If the corresponding check box is checked, the IP address stored on the CM repository is replaced by the new value shown in this field. This enables the CM server to correctly communicate with your NT machine even when the IP address of your NT machine has changed. If this box is not checked, the CM server will attempt to talk to the old IP address.

IP addresses on the CM server may be stored directly in the Policy/Shadow_Location file of the view or may be specified in a common file that is included in the Policy/Shadow_Location file. If the update include file radio button is selected, any included files are updated otherwise the change in the IP address is made only in the Policy/Shadow_Location file.
