Creating a Local Service Development Project
To use the local service development feature in Designer, you must first define a project in the workspace that represents a package in Integration Server. By creating the local service development project and adding it to the VCS, you can share your files using your VCS client. When you create a project for a package, the package along with its contents are added to the VCS.
Keep the following points in mind when creating a local service development project:
The package for which you want to create a local development project must exist and be located in the
Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory folder of the local development
Integration Server.
The package for which you want to create a local development project must not be present in the VCS.
A project with the same name as the package must not be present in your Eclipse workspace.
To create a local service development project
1. In Package Navigator view, right-click the package for which you want to create a local service development project and select Create Local Service Development Project.
Designer creates the local service development project and displays the Share Project wizard.
2. From the list of VCS client plug-ins, select the VCS client that you want to use to share the new project. Click Next.
3. The screens that appear next are specific to the VCS client that you selected. Enter the relevant information and credentials of your VCS client.
4. In the confirmation screen, ensure that the displayed information is correct and click Finish.
Designer creates a project in your workspace with the same name as the package.
In Package Navigator view, the icon representing the package that you have shared to the VCS changes to
showing that the package is shared. The package and the elements contained in the package will now be available in the VCS.
Designer displays icon overlays that are specific to your VCS for the files in the shared package in Package Navigator view. These icon overlays indicate the VCS status of the files in your workspace.
5. If you are using Team Foundation Server as your VCS client, you must do the following after the project is created:
a. Add the content of the project to the Team Foundation Server repository. To do this, right-click the project in Package Explorer view or Navigator view and select Team > Check In Pending Changes.
b. Set the Team Foundation Server working folder to any system location. To set the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory as the working directory, clear the Move project to Integration Server package as linked resource check box in Window > Preferences > Software AG > Service Development > Local Service Development. To do this, from the Team Explorer view, open the Source Control editor. Right-click the local service development project in the Source Control editor, and select Set Working Folder
