Serena PVCS is a version management tool that provides a built-in file server and configuration control. The PVCS source configuration plug-in automates downloading artifacts from PVCS, creating new component versions, and importing artifacts.
The PVCS source configuration plug-in imports artifacts from Serena PVCS Version Manager as component versions in DevOps Deploy.
See Installing plug-ins in HCL Deploy for installing and removing plug-ins.
