Setting up PB with SVN

[DW]

Hello,

We are trying to set up PB with SVN, and are having difficulty getting
the individual PB objects into the SVN repository properly. My
understanding is that the individual objects should be added to a
repository via PB, and that there is some sort of 'intermediary'
folder (?) that needs to be set up (i.e., not the SVN repository on
the server) that is also separate from the local folder where we work
in PB.
What is the correct way to set up and accomplish this?

We're also wanting to make sure that SVN actually works on UNIX. Is
that correct?

Thanks in advance!

You should create two new folder.
In the first folder you should put all pbls file, target file and workspace file of your project.
The second folder should be empty. Then used to synchronize with the repository
Once installed the repository (VisualSVN-Server-2.1.5.msi), pbsccsetup_2.01.78 and the TortoiseSVN-1.6.12.20536-win32-svn-1.6.15.msi
you should connect the repository with synchronize's folder.
To connect synchronize's folder. You should click the right mouse button on the synchronize's folder and select the
SVN Checkout... option which corresponds to a choice of Tortoise SVN.
Then in the URL of repository you must put the URL where the repository is located.
Example: http://localhost:8080/svn/test/
The last step will be open your PowerBuilder project located in the first folder created.
In propeties of workspace select source control and put the follow options
Source Control System: PBSCCProxy
User ID.: User that you add in VisualSVN-Server
Project: path to synchronize's folder
Local root directory: path to source folder (first folder created).

if you need more details, I could send you a file with all steps and pic about the topic

Thanks

Hi Mariano,

Thanks for your response. I've been following the one document that
I've found out there, which may be the one you're referring to?

Where should those two new folders be created? Do you mean folders
within an SVN repository, or simply folders in Windows Explorer?
(Following the doc that I have, it has me create one folder from
within an SVN repository.)

I get to the point of testing checking out an object, and get an error
message that "Access to SCC Provider failed during SccCheckout(). Try
again."

Hello, this is a short manual about how to install and configure subversion with power builder. It is in spanish but the pictures can help you a little.

Hi Diego,

Thank you for the manual. I translated it (roughly, with Google
translator) and walked through it. Checking out an object still
fails, with the "Access to scc Provider failed during SccCheckout().
Try again." message. I'm now wondering if our admins have things set
up properly on the server side, and will check on that. If you have
any other suggestions, please let me know. We really need to get this
working.

Thanks!

Try adding to your environment variable "PATH", the address of where it was installed the Visual SVN. eg "C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin", and then try again the configuration for the PB.
