I have a relatively new installation of PB 2017 and I am having a number of issues with source control. I am using PB 2017 R3 build 1858 on Windows 10 with Version Manager 8.2.

The source control status is never saved. Everything looks like it is not under source control. I can add things to source control and then the source control status is correctly indicated by the icon to the left of the object, but the status goes away if I leave PowerBuilder and go back in. Then I need to add the item back into source control to see the correct source control status.

When I check out something I get an error: Access to SCC Provider failed during SccAdd. The error seems to apply to the pbg file. However the object I want to edit gets checked out. I can edit the object and check it back in normally.

When I run everything on my old machine everything still works the way it is supposed to. Source control status is indicated correctly every time I open PowerBuilder.

Hi Gord;

  Looks like you are using the PERFORCE SCM software and therefore the SCCAPI connection route from the PB IDE (I presume).

  In that case, please try ...

1) Locate your working PB.ini file (as per the PB IDE's "System Options" dialogue - General Tab)

2) Close your PB IDE

3) Add the following to the PB.INI

[JavaVM]
CreateJavaVM=0

4) Restart your PB IDE and retry the SCC process

Regards ... Chris

Chris's solution worked! Although I am going to go with Armeen's suggestion and switch from Version Manager to Git.

As I understand, the new native interface is available in PB 2019. If I were using PB 2019 then I would use Git. Since I am still using PB 2017 and cannot for the time being move to PB 2019, I am using the MS-SCC API with Serena Version Manager. We have used Serena Version Manager for many years now. I just cannot get Serena Version Manager working right on my new computer.

PB 2017 R3 also has native interface to Git and SVN... it is not necessary to upgrade to PB 2019 to get this feature. Please see release history: https://www.appeon.com/developers/powerbuilder-release-history.html

Do you think you can switch from Serena to Git?

If not, are you able to consistently replicate this problem across multiple machines or it is only happening on one machine?

Which source control system are you using?  If you are using Git or SVN, are you using the new native interface instead of legacy MS-SCC API?
