Library /sys$common/syshlp/SCA$MENU.HLB  —  SCA Topics, Libraries  Project Libraries
    There are many ways you can organize the SCA libraries for your
    project. Usually, there is one library (or set of libraries)
    for the whole project. Each developer has a personal library
    containing modules that they have changed but have not yet made
    available to the entire project. However, if there is only one
    developer working on the project, it makes more sense to use a
    single SCA library.

    There are many ways you can organize your project libraries. You
    can have one project SCA library if it is a reasonable size. You
    can use several libraries, one for each subsystem. You may want to
    organize your SCA libraries the way your development environment
    is organized. For example, have one SCA library for each CMS
    library. If your project is divided into different subsystems,
    you may want one SCA library for each subsystem.

    For information on creating your own SCA library, see the help
    topic Building_An_SCA_Library.

    Examples of Typical Libraries

    Consider a project with three developers: Paul, Mark, and Joanna.
    The project consists of two different subsystems, each with its own
    SCA library.

    Each of the developers also has a personal SCA library in their personal
    directories.

    Paul, Mark and Joanna set up their SCA libraries using the SCA library
    command as follows:

        SCA> SET LIBRARY personal_lib,subsystem_1_lib,subsystem_2_lib

    When Paul changes a module in Subsystem 1, he compiles it and loads it
    into his personal library.  For Paul, this hides the old version of the
    module in the project library for Subsystem 1, so his SCA library is up
    to date and consistent with his changes.

    Mark and Joanna do not see Paul's changes in their SCA libraries
    because they the SCA library that Paul updated is not in their library
    list.  They still see the old version of the module in the project
    library for Subsystem 1.

    Once Paul has completed his change, the nightly build updates everything
    for Subsystem 1, replacing the module in the project library.  Now Mark
    and Joanna can both see the change.
