You can create a repository workspace to flow to a stream
when you join a team, or any time that you want to work with the specific
configuration of component baselines that the stream contains. You
can create a repository workspace that does not flow to a stream and
then load it later with components from other workspaces or streams.
You can also create a repository workspace from a stream in a different
repository if you want to set up a distributed flow.
Procedure
- In the Work with Source Control window,
click Create a Repository Workpace.
- If you do not want to flow changes to any stream:
- Click Create empty repository workspace,
and click Next.
- Type a workspace name and click Next.
- On the Read Access Permission page, select who can have
read access to the repository workspace and click Finish.
- To flow changes to a stream:
- Click Create from stream, select
a stream, and click Next.
- Type a workspace name and click Next.
- On the Read Access Permission page,
select who can have read access to the repository workspace and click Next.
- Select the components that you want to add to the workspace.
- If you do not want to load selected components, clear Load
repository workspace after creation.
- Click Finish.
- To create a repository workspace from a snapshot:
- Click Create from snapshot and
click Next.
- On the Select a Snapshot page, specify search criteria
and select the snapshot. Click Next.
- Type a workspace name and click Next.
- On the Read Access Permission page, select who can have
read access to the repository workspace and click Finish.
- Optional: To configure the default name and
visibility that displays in the New Repository Workspace wizard
when you create a repository workspace from a stream:
- In the Eclipse client, open the project area editor
and click the Process Configuration tab.
- Go to and click New Workspace Configuration.
Note: To change the default name and visibility from the web
client, go to the application administration page and navigate to
the project area. In the left pane, expand Source Control and
click New Workspace Configuration.
- Use the variable ${stream-name} for
the stream name and ${user-id} for the user id.
- Select the default visibility as Private, Public,
or Project.
- Save the changes.
What to do next
After the repository workspace is created, you can use the Pending
Changes view to add components from other streams or repository
workspaces. You can use the Manage Artifacts view
to add new components.
