Checking out an object

Checking out an object

When you check out an object, the object is locked so that other users can't update it while you are making your changes.
You can check out individual objects, multiple objects, or a project or folder to check out all of the objects within the project or folder.
The following image shows the Check Out action is selected for the mt_EC_Gold.1 mapping task:
On the Explore page, the Action menu is open for the mt_EC-_Gold.1 mapping task. The Action menu lists several possible actions, including the Check Out action.
If you update a
Data Integration
 mapping that has associated
mapping
 tasks, the updates automatically deploy to the
mapping
 tasks regardless of whether the
mapping
 tasks are checked out or not.
Before you check out an object, you might want to perform a pull to be sure you update the latest version of the object. For more information about the pull action, see Source control pulls
  1. On the
    Explore
     page, navigate to the object you want to check out.
  2. In the row that contains the object, click
    Actions
     and select
    Check Out
    .
  3. If the checkout includes multiple objects, on the preview page, review the results in the
    Status
     column. If you want to exclude an object, clear the check box next to the object name.
  4. Click
    Check Out
