Configuring source control for the InfoSphere Information Server Manager

An administrator must perform some configuration tasks before you can use IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server Manager to submit IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage® assets to a source control system. To enable source control, you must configure the InfoSphere Information Server Manager.

Before you begin

You must be an Administrator on the computer where the InfoSphere Information Server Manager is installed.

If a user without administrator privileges wants to use the InfoSphere Information Server Manager to submit assets to the source control system, then the user must import the source control project that is created and shared by the administrator into their InfoSphere Information Server Manager workspace.

About this task

The configuration tasks are the same regardless of which source control system you use to control assets. The InfoSphere Information Server Manager uses a source control project to share assets with your source control system. This project is different from IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage projects.

Procedure

  1. Connect to an IBM InfoSphere Information Server domain.
  2. Create a source control project that has the same name as that domain.
  3. Share the source control project under your chosen source code control system.
  4. When you share the project, the project itself is submitted to the source control repository.
