Track rulebase changes on multi-developer projects

The Oracle Policy Modeling project should be placed under source control whenever it is important to keep a history of changes to the rulebase. Source control should also be used on multi-developer projects so that only one developer may work on a rulebase file at any one time.

To add an existing Oracle Policy Modeling project to source control:

In Oracle Policy Modeling, select File | Source Control | Add Project to <source control> from the main menu, where <source control> is your installed source control system.
In the Add Project to <source control> dialog, browse to select the URL of the source control repository, and add a new folder name to this URL. Click OK.
Log in to source control using Username and Password, then click OK.

The files in your Oracle Policy Modeling project will be checked into your new source control project, and the source control features in Oracle Policy Modeling will now be automatically available for you to use with your rulebase project files whenever you open the project.

Subversion and other source control programs

Oracle Policy Modeling integrates with the Subversion source control program, and with any source control program that is accessible via the Source Code Control Application Program Interface (SCCAPI), such as Microsoft SourceSafe, Rational ClearCase, or Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Oracle Policy Modeling will automatically detect which programs you have installed. If you have both Subversion and a SCCAPI program installed, menu options for both systems will be available in Oracle Policy Modeling.

NOTE: If you do not have either of these source control systems installed, the File | Source Control menu options will not be available in Oracle Policy Modeling. If you wish to use source control for your project:

select the Subversion component during the Oracle Policy Modeling installation, or
install Subversion (note that a command line Subversion client package is required for direct integration with Oracle Policy Modeling), or
install one of the SCCAPI source control programs. If you have selected Microsoft Team Foundation Server as your SCCAPI program, see Install Microsoft Team Foundation Server for more information.

See the Oracle Policy Modeling Installation Guide in your Oracle Policy Modeling installation folder for further details.

Install Microsoft Team Foundation Server

To install Microsoft Team Foundation Server:

Download and install Team Explorer for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 from the Microsoft web site (http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30656)
Download and install either:
- for 32-bit systems: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 MSSCCI Provider 32-bit (available from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b5b5053e-af34-4fa3-9098-aaa3f3f007cd) or
- for 64-bit systems: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 MSSCCI Provider 64-bit (available from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3c7b6813-2617-4d5f-9a1d-5ad980cab5d2)
Once the install has completed, open your project in Oracle Policy Modeling, open the File menu and select Source Control. Options for Team Foundation Server (such as Open Existing Project from Team Foundation... and Bind Project to Team Foundation...) should now be available on the Source Control sub-menu.
