In order to use existing Dimensions CM Eclipse SCC projects as project containers, you must first convert them. When you convert SCC projects, you can choose whether to:
Convert them to project containers, or to single projects that map one-to-one to Eclipse projects.
Convert all Eclipse SCC projects in a product to containers at one time.
Convert a specific Eclipse SCC project to a container. When you convert an existing SCC project, the conversion includes all derived baselines and projects.
To convert existing Dimensions SCC projects to either single projects or project containers, follow the instructions in the following document, available from the Support web site:
