Object Repository
The Object Repository provides a multiuser development environment that includes access to check-in/check-out functionality and version control.
In a typical Siebel Tools development environment, a server repository contains the master application definition. As an application developer, you have a local repository connecting to Siebel Tools. You can check out projects on the server and copy the projects to the local database where they can be edited. After you have made the changes, you can test the application by compiling the Siebel repository file (.srf) from the local developer database. If the tests have been successful, you can perform the check-in to the server database. The check-in will copy the locked projects to the server and then unlock the projects on the server.
You can integrate the Siebel Tools check-in/check-out process with an external version control system like Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, PVCS, or ClearCase, enabling the development team to maintain a version history of all changes to the repository. For further information on this topic, see Application Development Projects.
