Getting All Projects from the Server Repository

This task is a step in Roadmap for Setting Up and Using Siebel Tool.

A Full Get is a type of Get that copies all projects from the server repository to your local repository. It is useful when you first initialize the local repository or if you must replace the projects that your local repository contains. You can use a Full Get to synchronize the local repository with modifications that reside in the server repository. You must do a Full Get before you compile the repository because the repository must use the full set of Siebel objects. For more information, see Compiling Your Modifications.

To get all projects from the server repository

1. Log in to Siebel Tools, connected to the local repository.
2. Choose the Tools menu, and then click Check Out.
3. Choose the name of your development repository from the Repository drop-down list.

   You only need to do this step one time. The repository that you choose is not necessarily the same repository that Siebel Tools opens.

4. Choose All Projects.
5. Click Options.
6. In the Development Tools Options dialog box, make sure the following items are set:
   • Server Data Source. Must reference the server development repository.
   • Client Data Source. Must reference the local repository you already initialized and that you connect to when you open Siebel Tools.

     For more information, see Specifying the Data Source That Siebel Tools Uses.

7. (Optional) Modify how Siebel Tools performs database commits.

   For more information, see Configuring Siebel Tools to Do Database Commits at the End of a Full Get.

8. In the Check Out dialog box, click Get.

   Siebel Tools copies all objects from the server repository to your local repository.

Configuring Siebel Tools to Do Database Commits at the End of a Full Get

This topic describes how to configure Siebel Tools so that it performs database commits only at the end of a Full Get. A Full Get performs database commits in regular intervals during the Get operation rather than during a single commit at the end of the Get, by default. A Full Get can provide better performance but if an error occurs then you must do the Full Get again.

To configure Siebel Tools to do database commits at the end of the Get

1. In Siebel Tools, choose the View menu, and then click Options.
2. In the Development Tools Options dialog box, click the Check In/Out tab.
3. To set Siebel Tools to perform a single commit at the end of a Full Get, make sure the Enable Incremental Commit During Full Get check box does not contain a check mark.
4. Click OK.
