Add a workspace to SVN – PB Docs 2022

To add a PowerBuilder workspace to the SVN source control
system:

1. Right-click the workspace in the System Tree and select
   Add to Source Control from the
   pop-up menu.

2. In the Add to Source
   Control dialog box, select Subversion (SVN) as the source control
   provider for the current workspace and click OK.

   

3. In the SVN Login dialog
   box, input the information required by the source control system.
   If the login information has been input before, they will be
   filled in automatically.

   In the Repository URL box,
   input the URL of the SVN source control repository. The name of
   the current workspace is automatically displayed and a folder will
   be created with this name for storing this workspace on the
   server. Notice that the URL for the workspace will be the server
   repository URL + the workspace folder name. Use this complete URL
   when downloading the workspace. Connecting to a local repository
   of SVN using the file:// protocol (such as
   file:///C:/SVNRepository) is unsupported.

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

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

   Click Connect to make sure
   connection is successful and then click OK.

   Specify the encoding format for the source code files in
   “ws_objects”. You can select from: ANSI/DBCS, HEXASCII, and UTF8.

   

   After connecting with the source control system
   successfully, the Add to Source
   Control dialog box displays listing all the files for
   the workspace that are not currently under source control. You
   cannot add files that are already under source control.

   You may notice that a “ws_objects” folder is automatically
   created under the workspace. This folder is for managing the
   source code file of the PowerBuilder objects including .srw (for
   window), .srm (for menu), .sru (for user object), .srd (for
   DataWindow), etc. It must be added to source code, in order to
   manage the source code at object level.

   All of the source code for the workspace must be located
   under the same directory as the workspace (*.pbw) file or under
   its sub-directory.

   

4. In the Add to Source
   Control dialog box, select the files and folders
   (especially “ws_objects”) and click OK.

   PowerBuilder starts uploading the selected files and folders
   to the source control system. After the file or folder is added to
   source control, the object in the PowerBuilder System Tree will be
   marked with a green dot () in front of it, indicating that its source
   code file on the local computer is in sync with the file on the
   server.

   Note

   If using the proxy server, configure the proxy server IP
   address and port number in the PB.ini file. See Using proxy server for
   more information.
