SccBeginBatch Function

This function starts a batch sequence of source control operations. The SccEndBatch Function will be called to end the batch. These batches may not be nested.

SCCRTN SccBeginBatch(void);

Parameters

None.

Return Value

The source control plug-in implementation of this function is expected to return one of the following values:

Value

Description

SCC_OK

Batch of operations successfully began.

SCC_E_UNKNOWNERROR

Nonspecific failure.

Remarks

Source control batches are used to execute the same operations across multiple projects or multiple contexts. Batches can be used to eliminate redundant per-project dialog boxes from the user experience during a batched operation. The SccBeginBatch function and the SccEndBatch Function are used as a function pair to indicate the beginning and end of an operation. They cannot be nested. SccBeginBatch sets a flag indicating that a batch operation is in progress.

While a batch operation is in effect, the source control plug-in should present at most one dialog box for any question to the user and apply the response from that dialog box on all subsequent operations.
