Overview of using PVCS
Scenario 1: One working directory, one archive directory In the
following scenario, all of the test files' archives are in one archive directory.
Scenario 2: Archive directory shared between tests In the following
scenario, the tests for two applications have some shared files which are kept
in a shared archive directory. The configuration file for the working directory
for each application would have two archive directories in its archive
directory list.
The SilkTest/PVCS
default configuration
file
Supplied with SilkTest is a default PVCS configuration file that has been
customized for archiving SilkTest test files. It is named pvcsqap.cfg and is
installed in the Windows directory. This file is the source from which
SilkTest creates all your the local vcs.cfg files that manage your SilkTest
work files.
Before you can perform any PVCS operations under SilkTest on the files in a
working directory, a local vcs.cfg file must exist. The easiest way to generate
one and assign some corresponding archive directories is with the Archive
