Updating Files From CVS |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
When you want to update a file, use the CVS Update command. The newest revision of the file is extracted from CVS and put in your working copy of the module. If no newer revision exists, performing an update has no effect.
The CVS Update command enables you to perform a recursive update on the selected item and synchronize the working copy of the JRules repository with the files on the CVS server. You may have to perform a Refresh operation on the Project File Explorer after performing an update if the explorer does not show the content that you are expecting. If you get an element not found message during the update, carry out a Reload operation.
The CVS Update command can be used to retrieve files that are not in the local copy of your JRules repository.
Note |
A successful CVS Update command always results in read-only files. To be able to edit the files, you must carry out a CVS Edit command on them. |
Before the actual CVS Update command is called, the CVS Update action first checks for files that have been removed locally, but which are present in CVS. If locally removed files are found, then a list of these files is displayed and you are asked whether you want to remove these files from CVS.
The JRules repository files are reloaded following a successful CVS Update, unless the update has resulted in the creation of conflict files.
