Updating (Synchronizing) a Project

It is recommended that you log into the RMS server, and update (synchronize) your local copy of a project with the most recent changes before continuing to work on it.

Other users may have checked in changes, additions, and deletions that are now available for checkout. You can choose what updates to accept. Changes and additions to individual decision tables and the domain model are listed.

See Comparing and Merging Decision Tables for more information on comparing decision tables and merging changes.

Procedure

  1. In Decision Manager, do one of the following:
    • From the RMS menu, select Update.
    • Right-click the project, and select RMS > Update.

      The Update dialog displays.

  2. If you did not already select a project, select one from the Projects List section, and click the Get Artifacts option.

    The artifacts from that project are listed below the Project Name box. The artifacts include rules, rule functions, virtual rule functions, decision tables, and domain models.

    The ChangeType of each artifact is shown as ADD or MODIFY.

  3. Check the checkboxes of the artifacts you wish to update. You can also use the Select / deselect all checkbox at the bottom to check or uncheck all the listed checkboxes.
  4. Click OK.
