Updating (Synchronizing) a Project

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

Other users may have checked in changes, additions, and deletions that are now available for checkout. There may be other changes too. You can select what updates to accept. Changes and additions to individual decision tables and business rules are listed.

Procedure

  1. In the Group Contents section, select the artifact you need to synchronize.
    Note: The synchronize command does not support multiple artifact selection using Shift or Ctrl key. Alternatively, select a folder/project to select all artifacts under that folder/project, when project files are displayed in a tree structure.
  2. Open the synchronize window using any of the following methods:
    • Click WebStudio, with the down pointing triangle in front of it, and select RMS > Synchronize.
    • Right-click on the selected artifact and then select RMS > Synchronize.
    • Click the synchronize icon in the RMS toolbar.
  3. If there are local changes as well as the server side changes, then WebStudio highlights the conflicted artifacts. Double click on the artifact to see the changes. Right click on the artifact and select Use Local to use your copy of the artifact, or select Use Base to use the copy on the server.
  4. Select the checkboxes of the files you want to synchronize and click OK. Alternatively, select the header checkbox to synchronize all the listed project files and click OK.
    If there are some local changes for the artifact and then you can double click the artifact to view the highlighted server side change. Hover the mouse over the highlighted (conflicted) field to see the server side value. Right click on the conflict field and select Use Local to use your copy of the artifact, or select Use Base to use the copy on the server and discard the local changes.
    The selected artifacts are updated with the latest project files from RMS.
