Project File Explorer |
PREVIOUS NEXT |
The Project File Explorer provides you with a file directory view of a repository and enables you to manage the repository files in cooperation with a source code control system (SCC system). Files can be checked in and out of the SCC system, added to, and removed from it. This enables concurrent access management of repository files.
Note |
The Project Files Explorer menu item is not available (grayed out) when the repository in the Rule Builder has been newly created and has not been persisted on disk, nor when a repository is persisted to an RDBMS. |
The Project File Explorer is intended to support SCC integration, the CVS plug-in being an example. However, you can still view your project in the Project File Explorer without any SCC integration.
In a case where the CVS plug-in has been uninstalled, the Project File Explorer provides support for displaying the project files read-write and read-only status on disk.
Any changes that you make are reflected in the explorer by the status icons.
The following commands are available in the Project File Explorer when the CVS plug-in is uninstalled: Set Read Only and Set Read Write.
The Set Read-Write and Set Read-Only operations are useful if you are using an external SCC tool (this could still be CVS, but external to the Rule Builder) for managing your repository. If the external tool is used to set the file(s) to read-only or read-write, this is a convenient way of changing the status inside the Rule Builder.
The following file status icons are used in the Project File Explorer:
Note |
A message is displayed in the Messages panel when the contents of the directory have been modified by an external event since the last save to disk--saving the repository may overwrite these changes. |
