Version control : Check Out loading time

[Guillaume]

Hi,

When using SVN with shared projects (EAP or centralised DB), I noticed that the Package Control "Check Out " takes a rather long time to run (since EA checks the content of each XML file to update any information in the running model).
Is there any way to improve this loading time? Any tweak in EA or in the SVN admin to be aware of?

Has it been improved in EA 11?

Thanks
Guillaume

The only advise I can give you is "use small packages"

Use locking instead of VC and save changes on a daily base with a snapshot.

VC needs to be kept so that users can cancel changes if required using the Undo Checkout.
It looks to me that VC management in EA should be improved so that an EA project coupled with SVN or another VC doesn't lead to long loading times.

I could start arguing about the undo, but I won't.

Regarding loading times: conceptually the whole package is removed and re-constructed from XMI. This is a time consuming process. You can improve that by using high-performance desktops, a high speed network and a performing database. Good luck with that.
