Define a Repository

AADvance uses a repository where it stores version control files containing the history for projects and elements. Define a repository at any local or server (URI) location. AADvance creates all necessary files in which to store the changes for projects and elements for the repository. The repository folder name must be unique and cannot contain a project name. The default installation for the repository is the following:
%PUBLIC%\Public Documents\SIS Workstation
<version>
\Repository
TIP:
AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software
 has issues when using version control with a Subversion server. Use folders shared between computers instead of the Subversion server.
When opening projects, the available projects are those from the current repository.
The information stored in a repository does not include customizations to the
AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software
 options.
TIP: When defining a control repository location, specify an empty folder. AADvance automatically creates all necessary files for the repository in the folder.
Considerations when sharing a repository:
  • Before connecting an application, get the latest version of the project from version control.
  • Use a string type global variable to enter the user name when taking the restricted access on the controller.
  • For a project containing a POU that was renamed or deleted on a different workstation, check out the modified POU and controller, and then check in all pending changes.
