Checking Out a Repository From CVS |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
Note that this operation should only be carried out if the JRules repository has not already been checked out of CVS. Once checked out the file-based repository is copied to your local directory structure. Alias and ampersand modules are not supported. Only modules defined as regular modules are supported by the CVS plug-in.
For the regular module to be supported, the module name and the directory name that appear in the CVS modules file must be the same, for example, if the repository module is named "jrulesrep", the corresponding directory should also be named "jrulesrep".
In this case, on checkout, a single directory called jrulesrep
is created as a working directory and all the directory levels below this are also created.
The CVS Checkout Repository command is available from the Repository menu.
Note |
A successful CVS Checkout Repository command always results in read-only files. To be able to edit the files, you must carry out a CVS Edit command on them. |
To check out a working copy of a JRules repository from CVS:
If the module name and server path correspond to the root of a JRules repository, then the JRules repository is loaded into the Rule Builder. If the JRules repository root is not found the JRules repository will not be loaded into the Rule Builder. However, the CVS checkout command will put the contents of this module into your local working directory.
For example, if a user performs a CVS Checkout Repository action and specifies the module name, path, and local folder as shown in Figure 6.3, this will create a working copy of everything below the jrulesrep
directory from the CVS server module OurJRulesProject
in the local directory c:\projects
.
If the local directory c:\projects\OurJRulesProject\jrulesrep
is the root of a JRules repository then it will be loaded by the Rule Builder.
