Using Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
Step 1: User A Starts TIBCO Designer and Creates a VSS Project
To create a VSS project, User A follows these steps:
Procedure
-
User A opens TIBCO Designer and chooses New Empty Project.
-
In the dialog that appears, specify the following information:
-
Project Directory—Location of the project on the local drive.
-
Multi-User System—Visual SourceSafe
-
User Name—Name of the current user. The user must have been granted access to VSS during the VSS client installation. Ask your VSS administrator.
-
Password—Password for the current user, as specified during the VSS client installation. Ask your VSS administrator.
-
VSS Command—Click Browse to point to the SS.EXE executable on your machine. Note that you must use SS.EXE, which is the command-line executable for VSS that is used by TIBCO Designer.
-
VSS Project Name—Name of the project in the VSS database. Include the root directory and other directories, as in the example below.
-
Save Project Options for Microsoft VSS
Step 2: User A Makes Changes to Project and Checks In the Project
User A can now make changes to the project and check them in as follows:
Procedure
Using the TIBCO Designer GUI, User A adds resources to the project and configures them.
User A saves the project, then chooses Multi-User > Add Resource to RCS.
- If a resource has never been added to RCS, you must add. If you make additional changes, you check in the resource.
- After User A has supplied a label for this version, the check-in console, which shows the check-in information, is displayed.
Step 3: User B Checks Out Resources and Makes Changes
After User A has checked the whole project into VSS for the first time, each resource can be checked out by each user that has access to VSS.
Procedure
-
User B opens the project from TIBCO Designer, using the Visual SourceSafe as the Revision Control system and providing a username and password.
-
User B chooses Multi-User > Project > Synchronize Project to make sure all resources are loaded.
-
User B selects a resource to be checked out in the project tree, then chooses Check Out Resource from the right-button menu of the resource.
-
User B can now make changes to the checked-out resource. After all changes have been made, User B can choose Multi-User > Check In Changes. If User B adds new resource, each resource must first be added to the RCS using the Add Resource to RCS menu.
