Configure and Synchronize a Model Repository After Changing Versioning Properties
Configure and Synchronize a Model Repository After Changing Versioning Properties
You can enable version control, configure versioning properties, and then synchronize the Model repository with the version control system. After you configure versioning and synchronize the Model repository with the version control system, the version control system begins to save version history.
The following image shows the process of configuring, synchronizing, and re-synchronizing the Model repository with a version control system:
Configure the versioning properties and recycle the Model Repository Service.
Synchronize the Model repository content with the version control system.
Optionally, change the version control system type.
For Perforce, you can change the host, port number, username, or password.
For SVN, you can change the URL, port number, username, or password.
For Git, you can change the file path of the local Git repository, URL of the remote Git repository, username, or password.
After you change the versioning properties, you can choose to retain or discard the version control history:
Retain version control history. Copy content from local repository to new local repository.
Discard version control history.
Recycle the Model Repository Service
Re-synchronize the Model repository content with the version control system.
You can perform these tasks from the command line or from the Administrator tool.
When you change Model repository properties, you must recycle the Model Repository Service for your changes to take effect. When you enable version control system or change a versioning property, the Model repository remains unavailable until you synchronise the Model repository.
