EA project on SVN: offline access
« on: December 04, 2008, 08:01:57 pm »
Hi

I have an EA project that is working wtih XMI files version controlled on SVN. Each user accessing the EA models have their own EA project file to access the shared XMI files.

It all works well except if I'm not logged on the network and don't have access to the SVN repository: EA tries connecting to the SVN and returns an error message.

What I'd like to do is Check out a package from SVN (corresponds to an XMI file), disconnect from the network and carry out changes. Finally, connect back to the network later and update changes to SVN (Put Latest or Check in.)

I think a way to do this is to set up an EA project that is not version controlled but would update the XMI files, however I'm concerned this could corrupt the project on SVN.

Any recommendation?

thanks
Guillaume

Hi

I just tried the solution I suggested in my previous email but it's not feasible as the offline version (not connected to SVN) does not import partitionned packages.

Any advice on this issue?

Thanks
Guillaume

There's a menu "Project | Version Control | Work Offline" and a chapter in the online help about this.

You should make sure that only one person a time is working offline on a controlled package, or someone's changes may get lost.

Hi

shame I did not spot this before...
That will sort my issue next time I need to use the project offline

Thanks for the info  :)
