Validating a Depot
To validate a depot perform the following:
1. From the main menu, select File->Open Depot.
2. Specify the hostname, path and name of the depot.
3. Review the validation messages for the depot.
Depot validation occurs in the exact same manner as a PSF. Upon
opening the depot, it is automatically validated.
NOTE The depot is opened as a READ-ONLY file. Validation errors can be
viewed but cannot be resolved from within SPB.
Comparing Two Depots
Use SPB to compare two or more depots that have identical content but
different revision information. This information is displayed in the Depot
Properties and in the Attribute Table.
1. Once a depot is open and active, highlight the PSF element.
2. View the Attribute Table to compare depot properties
NOTE The depot properties, which are set by SD when the depot is created are
not valid PSF attributes. Therefore, the Depot Properties will appear in
the PSF as comments.
Creating a PSF from a Depot
Use SPB to create a PSF template with similar software elements from a
depot. Once the PSF is created, you can edit accordingly.
1. Select the appropriate depot tab.
2. From the main menu, select File->Save As.
