Short User Guide to the AWM SVN Model

This topic provides a short overview of the recommended development workflow using the AWM ED Projects with SVN Integration model:

  1. Add an SVN repository location under the SVN Repositories entry of the model. Right-click SVN Repositories, and then click Add Repositories.

    This opens the Repository path dialog.

    Note: If SVN repositories have already been added in this Eclipse workspace, for example, from the SVN Repositories view, they are shown under the SVN Repositories entry of the model.
  2. In the URL field, type the URL to your repository location, and then click OK.
  3. Check out a project from the SVN repository. The checked out project is shown under the Working Copies entry of the model. In the Checkout from SVN dialog, click Check out as a project in the workspace. In the Project Name field, type bankdemo.
  4. Click Finish.
  5. Expand the checked out project under the Working Copies entry of the model. You can see the full list of SVN functionality under the Team menu of any checked out component. Right-click the component, and then click Team.

You should perform your development work in a Micro Focus project under the Enterprise Development Projects entry of the model so you can benefit from all Micro Focus project features. You should only check out the components you need to apply and test changes to. Check out the COBOL sources and copybooks of the bankdemo project to a Micro Focus Remote COBOL Project:

  1. Create a Micro Focus project, for example, a Remote COBOL Project under the Enterprise Development Projects entry of the model:
    1. Right-click Enterprise Development Projects, and then click New COBOL Project > Remote COBOL Project.

      This opens the New Remote COBOL Project dialog box.

    2. In the Project name field, type BankDemo Project.
    3. Click Finish.
  2. Link folders or components from the Working Copies entry of the model to the project under the Enterprise Development Projects entry of the model:
    1. Right-click a component from under the Working Copies entry of the model, and then click New > Linked File > Link File to Folder.

      This opens the Eclipse Dialog Selection Dialog box.

    2. Select the folder to which the file should be linked.
    3. Click OK.

You can now work within the Remote COBOL project. Ensure the project's build path are set so that the copybooks are found. Specify Determine Directives so that the correct compile options are used during the build of the project.

After you have changed a component, the corresponding SVN decorator is set to the component under the Working Copies entry of the model.

All SVN actions can be executed from the Working Copies entry of the model. For example, you can commit all your changes back to SVN once they are tested, click Team > Commit on the project level under the Working Copies entry of the model.
