Version control system
« on: June 01, 2010, 12:01:58 am »
Hello. Can u explain me how to use version control in Enterprise Architect. I have some questions:
Preparation: I use SVN and i have configured it (path to svn.exe and work copy) in Version control settings.
1) I tried to check in my EA document. As result XMI file was created in my work copy and it was commited into svn repo. But my EA document was not. So i don't understand how to commit my document into svn repo. Or if can commit only XMI file (via EA vc tool) how other developers how other developers should use it (XMI file)?
2) What kind of locking does Enterprise Architect version control tool provide (pessimistic/optimistic) or it depends on version control system i use?
Thank you

Cymrak,

I don't know what you mean by EA document, but anyway EA version control works based on XMI files only.
There are two white papers (one on version control, the other on deployment) available on the website that should give you some more context on this topic.

VC integration always uses pessimistic exclusive locks, no matter which VC you integrate with.
