Version Control - how start?

[Robert_N]

Hi,
i got an EAP file with two version controlled packages and on the PC i created this project everthing works well in terms of version control. The XMI files are stored on SVN, i can delete them in my project and retireve them from SVN back. OK.

But now how i start using the same version controlled project on an other computer? Do i have to send to my mate the EAP file o create a blank new project and then configure VC to get the packages from SVN?

When i send my friend my EAP file and he open it he got a message that: VC details haven't been fully setup on this workstation. Complete Configuration [Yes][No]
He needed the path to his working copy folder. I showed him th path but then it hangs up. Any ideas why it hangs or are there other ways to share my project?

Robert,

In theory you don't need to send the eap file, but it might just be the most convenient way to get your colleague setup.

As for the problem setting the VC configuration.
- First look if he can access the SVN repository outside of EA
- Make sure he has a local working copy of the repository containing the ea files.
- Check if there aren't too many files on the same location in SVN. EA does a check on ALL files in the same location, that might be what is taking so long. Preferably create a repository for only the EA files.
- Be patient. The first setup might take a while. (see previous point)

Unfortunately i tried all this things before this means, on the second PC tortoiseSVN easily get's the files from the repo. The repo is especially created for EA end there are just the EAP and two XMI files. I will try it again later, now i dont see any solution   Anyway thx for your help

Maybe you don't have the SVN command line client installed on the second machine. EA can't work with tortoise, it needs svn.exe.

Robert,

There is no need to store the EAP file in SVN, only the xmi files.
