To add a project to a source control system, you must first configure Microsoft Visual Studio to support source code control. After you configure Microsoft Visual Studio to support source code control, the Add Solution to Source Control menu option is available. The Solution to Source Control interface for IBM database projects is similar to all other file-based projects (for example, a C++ project). The only difference is that for procedure files (that is, .ibmdbsp and .db2sp file types), a file is created that has the same name but adds the letter x to the end of the file name. This is an XML configuration file for the associated source file. This file is automatically checked in and out of your source control system with your source files.
To add an IBM database solution to a source control system:
The next steps are dependent on the type of source control system. Generally, you log in to the source control system and select a location to add the project and associated files. You can see the status information that is displayed in the Source Control pane in the Output View. The images in the Solution Explorer are updated to reflect the status of each component (for example, checked-in and checked-out).
After the project is added to the source control system, additional shortcut menu commands (such as check-in, check-out, and show pending check-ins) are available for your project components.
See Visual Studio Help and your source control system provider for additional information.
