Problem:

A third party source code control product is installed using the SCCS interface as recommended by Micro Focus.

However, after starting Net Express the 'Source control' menu item has not appeared.

Resolution:

If the 'Source Control' menu has not appeared, the Net Express IDE has failed to load the specified SCCS interface dll.

First check that the dll specified in the registry exists.

For example:

If you have a Merant (Serena) PVCS VM installation, the registry setting is

HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\SourceCodeControlProvider\\Data = SOFTWARE\\Merant\\Integrations\\SCC

Check what

HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Merant\\Integration\\SCC\\SCCServerPath

Data value is.

In that case this is set to

C:\\program files\\merant\\devint\\vm\\devint\\bin\\pvcs_ifc.dll

When you start Net Express, it loads this dll, which is the SCCS interface dll.

If the load fails, no 'Source Control' menu will be displayed, and as described above:

The related SCCS interface dll should be identified first.
