Get a workspace from SVN – PB Docs 2019

To get a PowerBuilder workspace from the SVN source control
system:

1. Right-click “No Workspace” in the System Tree and select
   Connect to Workspace from the pop-up menu

   or

   Select Connect to Workspace from the File menu.

   The Connect to Workspace dialog box displays. If the login
   information has been input before, they will be filled in
   automatically.

2. Select Subversion (SVN) from the Source Control System
   list.

   Input the repository URL of the workspace. Notice that the
   complete URL should be the server repository URL + the workspace
   folder name.

   Type in the name of the workspace file to be
   downloaded.

   Select an authentication type. Token is not supported for
   SVN currently.

   Type in your user name and password for the SVN source
   control system.

   Type or select a path for the local root directory in the
   “Checkout Directory” box. All the files that you add to or get
   from source control must reside in this path or in a subdirectory
   of this path.

   Select the “Refresh all PBLs with the source code after
   download” option to refresh all PBLs after downloading the source
   code from workspace if you are unsure whether the PBLs are updated
   with the latest source code.

   

3. Click Test Connection, and click OK when connection is
   successful.

   PowerBuilder starts downloading the workspace from the SVN
   source control system, and after the workspace is successfully
   downloaded, it will be loaded in the PowerBuilder IDE
   automatically.

   Note

   After you get a workspace which was added to SVN using a
   third-party tool such as TortoiseSVN (not by PowerBuilder IDE),
   the objects will be marked with this icon which means the objects are not yet under
   source control in PowerBuilder IDE, so you should commit the
   entire workspace from the PowerBuilder IDE to SVN to add it
   under source control.
