When you download configuration items, the system checks to see if any items are checked out. If you have the privilege to use the VC_DOWNLOAD_CHECKEDOUT function, the system enables you to download the checked out items. Note that when you download checked out items, the Version Control database does not have a record of the items. Therefore, the label applied to the version in the Version Control database may not be the same as the item that was actually downloaded. Typically, you should check in items before downloading. If items to be downloaded are checked out and the Download checked out items check box is not checked, nothing is downloaded.
The download is cancelled if you do not have the necessary function privilege, or if you do not click the Proceed with download if items are checked out check box. However, if you want to download the items that are checked out, the system downloads the version in the configuration database.
