Creating repository workspaces

A repository workspace on your machine is the replica of the repository workspace that is available on the server. You can create a repository workspace, and load the components that contain project artifacts. After working with the project artifacts, you can deliver them so that the artifacts in your sandbox and in the repository workspace on the server are in sync.

About this task

You can create a repository workspace either from a stream or from My Repository Workspaces. If you create a repository workspace from a stream, it is presumed that that stream is the flow target for the project artifacts.

Procedure

  1. In the Team Artifacts tool window, right-click My Repository Workpaces and click New Repository Workspace.
  2. Select a repository connection. If you are not logged on to the repository, click Log on.
  3. If you do not want to flow changes to any stream:
    1. Click Just back up my work., and click Next.
    2. Type a workspace name and click Finish.
  4. If you want to flow changes to a stream:
    1. Click Flow with the stream, select a stream, and click Next.
    2. Type a workspace name and click Next.
    3. Select the components that you want to add to the workspace.
    4. If you do not want to load selected components, clear Load repository workspace after creation
    5. Click Finish.
  5. Optional: To configure the default name and visibility that displays in the New Repository Workspace wizard when you create a repository workspace from a stream:
    1. In the Eclipse client, open the project area editor and click the Process Configuration tab.
    2. Go to Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Source Control and click New Workspace Configuration.
      Note: To change the default name and visibility from the web client, go to the application administration page and navigate to the project area. In the left pane, expand Source Control and click New Workspace Configuration.
    3. Use the variable ${stream-name} for the stream name and ${user-id} for the user id.
    4. Select the default visibility as Private, Public, or Project.
    5. Save the changes.

What to do next

You can add new components to the empty repository workspace.
