Overview
TIBCO Designer allows multiple developers to work on the same project. Developers can use file sharing/locking or a revision control system to ensure that the same resource is not changed by two developers at the same time.
If you wish to use file sharing/locking or a revision control system, you must use a multi-file project. Different users can then add resources to the project and lock the parts of the project they are working on. Note that changes from User A don't show up for User B until User B syncs.
Note:
- TIBCO Designer creates a file that can be shared and locked for each top-level resource, such as an adapter configuration or a process definition. It does not create a file for each resource. As a result, for example, you can lock an adapter configuration but cannot lock individual adapter services.
- TIBCO Designer also creates folders for folders you create in your project. You can lock each folder as needed.
The following revision control options are available:
|
•
|
File Sharing—Allows you to place the project in a central location, then lock and unlock resources as needed. See File Sharing. |
|
•
|
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe—Allows multiple users to take advantage of the Visual SourceSafe features. See Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. |
|
•
|
XML Canon—Allows multiple users to take advantage TIBCO XML Canon. See XML Canon . |
You interact with the revision control system directly from TIBCO Designer. TIBCO Designer also allows you to check who owns the lock for each locked resource.
Warning: Designer may not always have all of the information necessary to distinguish some situations correctly. For example, TIBCO Designer sometimes is unable to distinguish a deleted file from the RCS that should be deleted in your personal copy of the project from a file you added to your copy of the project and want to add to the RCS. In such cases, use the RCS client directly to fix these situations.
