Configuring CVS to run with the Message Brokers Toolkit
Install CVS as a normal program by following the usual prompts.
Not all versions of CVSNT are supported by Eclipse.
Configure CVS by carrying out the following tasks:
Create a directory on your computer, for example,
on Windows - c:\CVSRepository.
Start the CVSNT control panel. Select Start->Programs->CVSNT to
see the icon on the desktop.
Stop both the CVS Service and the CVS
Lock Service.
Select the Repositories tag, click Add and
create a new repository. Note that no entry appears on the screen
the first time that you do this.
Use the ... button on the next window to select
the directory that you created in step 1.a and click OK. Note
that when CVS has finished formatting its repository the backslash in the
directory name is changed to a forward slash.
Select the Service Status tab and restart both
the CVS Service and the CVS Lock Service.
Enable the CVS Revision tag to be populated in
the Eclipse Version fields in the Message Brokers Toolkit. To do this on Windows:
Select Window->Preferences
Expand the Team section and click CVS
Use the drop down in the Default keyword substitution: field
and set the value to ASCII with keyword expansion(-kkv)
Add the WebSphere Event Broker file types to
the Eclipse CVS configuration. To do this:
Select File Content in the Team section
of the window you opened in step 2
Click Add and add msgflow as
an allowable file extension. Ensure that the value is set to ASCII.
Repeat the above procedure for the following file extensions
that the broker uses:
esql
mset
mxsd
If you use CVS to store other file types, for example, COBOL copybooks
add the appropriate file types as well.
