Working with Repositories in CVS |

This section describes the integration of CVS, a popular SCC system, into the JRules Rule Builder. This integration makes particular use of the locking facilities of CVS, which means you can perform CVS commands on the files in a repository that is under the control of CVS. This integration is a specific use of CVS, based on the CVS mechanism to track who is editing the files. In this mode, only one user can edit files at any one point in time. The edited files are writable while the unedited files are read-only.
ILOG recommends that repositories in active development should be file-based repositories managed using an SCC system, and that those in a release environment be managed as central, single-copy repositories, using the JRules internal locking facility, see Working with Repositories and Locking. You should not use the JRules locking facility at the same time as the CVS plug-in. For more information on "best practices" for specific repository environments see the Enterprise Integration User's Manual.
To use the SCC integration features with CVS, you need the CVS plug-in installed. The CVS plug-in is only available in the Rule Builder developer mode, see Plug-ins and Rule Builder Modes and Installing and Uninstalling Plug-ins.
For more information on working with repositories in CVS, see the CVS Plug-in Tutorial.
