Version control several users.
« on: July 13, 2015, 10:13:39 pm »
Hi,

I am trying to set up a repository so that several users can work on the same project.

What I have done so far is:
Set up a SQL-instance.
Run the SQLServer_EASchema.sql file provided by sparx.
Transfered the project to the database.
Managed to open the project in a client.

Now what I want to do but can't seem to figure out:
How do I "check out" a project or a package?
Check in
commit
etc.

I mean when I am making changes to the elements in my EA client, how do I commit that change to the database that I have set up?

Thanks in advance /Jokew

You don't commit changes to the database but to the VCS. If you have checked out a package you can modify it and changes are made to the database immediately. Other persons can not modify the package until you either check-in / commit the changes or you revert them. There is a quite complete white paper about config management on Sparx resource site.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Ok I have been looking for information on how to do this properly (thats how I got this far).

Ok so what I have to do is:

1. create some sort of version control settings? (and in that process try to figure out what SCC, CVS, Subversion, TFS is and what I am suppose to use).

2. And after I have done that I can configure the "Package control options" with my version control settings?

3. And when this is done I can just right click a package and "check it out"?

Sorry if I might be sounding a bit thick but this is how I understood it based on what you wrote and what I could find on the sparx site.

Im a close to the prize? :)

That's about it. Once you setup VC you can do the wizardry.
