My understanding of synchronization is that it will syncronize your local set of pbl's with that from Source Control. Is that correct? I'm finding that my automated build is failing due to a missing object that was added to Source Control by another developer. If I do a GLV in PowerBuilder to get the new object then everything works fine. Am I missing something?
I'm new to PowerGen. I'm using PowerGen V5.5.0.44 and PowerBuilder 9.0.1.

Hi Troy,
PowerGen needs to have the object files available in the file system. That is, it doesn't connect to the source control system, but requires your process to "Get" the objects before you start the Synchronization.
Does that help?

Is PowerGen able to do this 'Get'. if not how do I script it so that the entire process can be automated.? I thought for sure that PowerGen would be doing what's similar to a GLV.
PowerGen does not perform the get, but relies on the command line interface of whatever source control system you're using. Depending on which system you're using you may find a sample script on our Support page.
The reason for not performing the get from PowerGen is because:
1. A direct interface would rely on the SCC-API which is slow and has very limited function
2. The SCC-API is not consistent between vendors so we would be in a difficult position to properly support it
Our users have found this approach to offer the most flexibility and reliability and is quite straightforward to implement.
Regards,
Phil
