Question

RH10 variable and build tag source file names

I'm using RH10 and outputting to WebHelp. My company requires that I archive project source files to our CVS via Eclipse. I am not using RoboSource_Control and must use the company's development resources for archiving.

Since archiving the initial project, I have been uploading only source files with modified dates.

However, I have discovered that the files I thought were storing user variables and build tags are not the correct files to archive. Since I am uploading all files with a newer date and that's not working, I need to know the user variable source file name and the build tag source file name that stores the currently defined variables and build tags.

I have already tried the WebHelp forum and was directed to this forum to pose the question because I'm looking for source file information instead of output file information.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Karen

If Eclipse works like other source control systems, you nominate one folder on your C drive as the "working" folder. Then as you check files in or out for editing, the source control software handles copying them to and from the actual source control repository as well as flagging the local versions with read-only or not.

Essentially, all you should need to do is point the source control system to this folder and it should handle all the changes from that point forward.

Cheers... Rick

Yes, Eclipse does work that way. However, we do not use our development directory as the local Eclipse repository. I need to move changed files to the local repository (stores all source files in the project) so that Eclipse can upload changes to the server. Yes, this is planned redundancy.

That said, it is not acceptable to spend the time copying all files in the large projects from the work folder to the local repository. I simply need to know which individual files to copy that include the currently defined variables and build tags. Note, we do not copy the SSL folder output files to our local source file repository, or other associated reference files that are not actually project source files.

Can you find someone who knows which files I need?

Thanks,

karen
