Hi all
I need your help to set up a PBNative SCC at work
I have one repository but when others connect to it, their objects still show a plus sign (+) next to them after refresh.
Here are the steps I took to set it up. We are using PB 2017 R3 build 1880
- I have 2 drives, P:\ on local, N:\ on a server
- I have a Workspace set up in P:\wp and a target set up under P:\wp\AppTargetName\ . I also have a folder on N: for repository (N:\Repository\). All PBLs are in local P:\wp\AppTargerName folder as well
- Then I proceeded to open up the Workspace Properties... in my IDE
- in the box I put the following values
Source Control System : PB Native
User ID: My_UserID
Project: N:\Repository\AppTargetName (this folder is empty as of this step)
Local Root Directory: P:\wp (where my Workspace is)
- Then Connect -> OK
After a while, all my objects in PB IDE are all with a solid green dot. N:\Repository\MyTargetName has all sorts of files as well.
When my coworker tries to connect to the repository:
Source Control System : PB Native
User ID: His_UserID
Project: N:\Repository\AppTargetName
Local Root Directory: C:\(wherever his Workspace is)
His objects did not have the dots but plus's (+). I don't think he needs to add anything to the source control as he only needs to connects to it.
Where did it go wrong?
Also, if my coworker has a folder named differently from 'AppTargetName' (say, 'anotherTargetName'), once connected, there is an empty 'anotherTargetName' folder appears in N:\Repositiry... Why? How does that happen?
By the way, is there any docs that can guide me through the setup process? The Help has chapters of how to use it (Not to set it up step by step)
I appreciate your input
CJ
