Service Development Help : Using the Local Service Development Feature : Checking Out an Element from the VCS
Checking Out an Element from the VCS
Keep the following points in mind when checking out an element from the VCS:
*The package, folder, or element that you want to check out must exist in the VCS repository.
*When you check out a package or a folder, all the contents of the package or folder are also checked out.
*After the check-out procedure is completed, a small check mark or ‘>’ mark appears on the icon of the checked-out element in the Navigator view.
*If you are using Team Foundation Server as your VCS client:
*When you check out a package, it is added to the directory which is set as the working folder.
*If an element or a package with the same name already exists in the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory, Designer will merge the two elements or the contents of the two packages.
*After checking out, you must right-click the package in Navigator view and select Load IS Package to load the package in the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory.
*If you are using CVS or SVN as your VCS client, if a package or an element with the same name already exists in the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory, Designer replaces the package or the element with the one from the VCS.
*If Move project to Integration Server package as linked resource is selected, you can clone remote Git repository to any location on your system. Then, you must import the required projects to the workspace to view them in Package Explorer view or Navigator view. You must also load the package(s) in the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory by right-clicking the package in Navigator view and selecting Load IS Package and Move Project to IS Package.
To check out a package, folder, or element from the VCS
1. In Designer, in the VCS repository view specific to your VCS client, right-click the package, folder, or element that you want to check out. To select multiple folders or elements, press the CTRL key while selecting.
2. From the Team menu, select the appropriate option to check out the files. The options available in the Team menu depend on the VCS client that you use.
Designer displays the Progress Monitor dialog box. Click Run in Background to continue working in Designer.
Important:  
Software AG recommends that you do not perform any operation on the asset on which Designer is performing the VCS operation because it might result in the asset becoming corrupted.
The element(s) that are checked out are now available for editing in your Eclipse workspace.
Note:  
If you are checking out a package that you have not checked in previously, you must move this package from your workspace to the Integration Server_directory \instances\default\packages directory of your local service development Integration Server.
