Developing and Deploying Siebel eBusiness Applications > Setting Up a Developer's Local Database >

Performing a Full "Get" Process

---

After initializing a local database, you must populate it with a read-only copy of all the projects and object definitions stored on the server database. This process is called a full get. A full get is equivalent to checking out all the projects from the server, however the projects are not locked and you cannot modify the object definitions until you check out a project from the server database or lock a project locally.

See About the Local Development Environment for more information about the check in and check out process.

Having a read-only copy of the full repository on your local machine allows you to compile a Siebel repository file for your local database. This is required for testing changes locally.

To perform the initial full get of all projects from the repository

Start Siebel Tools, choosing Local in the Connect field.
Choose Tools > Check Out.

The Check Out dialog box appears.

Choose the name of your development repository from the Repository pick list.
Select the All Projects radio button.
Click the Options button.
In the Development Tools Options window, check to be sure that:
Your Server Data Source is pointing to your server development database.
Your Client Data Source is pointing to the local database you previously initialized and are currently running against.

These data sources should match those shown in the Control Panel, under ODBC Data Sources.

Close the Development Tools Options window.
In the Check Out dialog box click Get.

After the full get is complete, your currently open local repository has the same contents as the server repository from which you did the full get.

For more information about working with projects, see the projects chapter of the Siebel Tools Reference.
