Working with CVS

The following steps assume you are working on a UNIX platform. If you are working on a Windows platforms, the steps are the same, but the examples apply only to UNIX.

Procedure 

Installing CVS on UNIX

  1. Download the installer from http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/?lang=EN&complete=1.
  2. Set PATH to execute CVS commands on your shell. For example, assuming CVS is installed under /usr/local/bin:
       setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:$PATH
  3. Set CVSROOT:
       setenv CVSROOT /home/corp/<user>/rcs/cvs
  4. Initialize CVS. This creates the CVS repository under CVSROOT:
       cvs init 

Importing a Project Into a CVS Repository

Procedure 

  1. In TIBCO Designer, create a project.
  2. Save the project. For example: /home/corp/<user>/cvstest01.
  3. Close TIBCO Designer.
  4. Using a shell, navigate to the project directory. For example:
       cd /home/corp/<user>/cvstest01
  5. Execute the following commands:
       cvs import -m "comment" <project name> vendor release
       cvs import -m "cvstest for designer" cvstest01 vendor release
  6. Check-out the project to local directory.
  7. Using a shell, navigate into the CVS local copy directory. For example: /home/corp/<user>/cvs_local.
       cd /home/corp/<user>/cvs_local
       cvs -r checkout -P <project name>
       cvs -r checkout -P cvstest01
  8. Now you are ready to open the CVS project in TIBCO Designer.
