Version Control Product Setup

Enterprise Architect relies on third-party version control products to control and maintain the different revisions of your project packages.

Once your version control product is installed and a suitable environment has been created, Enterprise Architect can then utilize that environment to control your project's packages.

Version Control System Components

Typically, version control products consist of:

•a server component
•a client component

 

Enterprise Architect integrates with version control client components.

It provides integration for Subversion, CVS and MS Team Foundation Server command line clients, as well as integration for products having API clients that comply with the MS SCCI specification.

 

 

Version Control Server

The server component maintains the controlled files in their many revisions in a central repository.

The server component is usually located on a server machine, that is accessible by all team members who are using version control.

 

 

Server Configuration

Steps involved in configuring a version control server usually include:

•Installing the software
•Creating a repository
•Creating version control projects (or modules or folders for use with specific projects)
•Configuring user IDs and passwords

 

The details of configuring any particular version control server are beyond the scope of this document.

Please consult the appropriate documentation.

 

 

Version Control Client

The client component deals with the working copies of the controlled files, submitting or retrieving files to and from the server as required.

A version control client must be installed on every machine where you run Enterprise Architect and want to access your version control system.

 

 

Client Configuration

Steps involved in configuring a version control client usually include:

•Installing the software
•Creating a new directory for use as a local working copy folder
•Logging in to the version control server
•Associating the working copy folder with its corresponding server repository folder
