The Add and Add All Files options from the Manage menu allows you to add all of your iFIX project files from the selected node to the Change Management Server. When you choose to add a file, folder, or entire project, the Add Files dialog box appears, as shown in the following figure. You can enter a comment, as well as choose whether you want to keep the local copy checked out and/or writable.
NOTE: Files from a remote location cannot be added to your Change Management project, unless you map the drive. Additionally, security files that point to a remote security path or non-local iFIX path cannot be added to the Change Management Server. Make sure that the primary and backup security path in the Security application's Configuration dialog point to the iFIX Local folder. For instance, if you install iFIX to the default folder, this path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\GE\iFIX\LOCAL.
To add an entire project:
- In the iFIX WorkSpace system tree, right-click the node name, and from the Manage menu, select Add All Files in Project. The Add File dialog box appears.
- Optionally, in the Comment text box, enter a comment. The comment can be no longer than 255 characters. The comments you enter are recorded on the Change Management Server.
- Optionally, select the Keep Local Copy check box if you want to keep a writable version of the project files on your local computer. Otherwise, clear the Keep Local Copy check box to remove the local files after you add them to the Change Management Server.
- Optionally, select the Keep Check Out check box, if you want to add the files, and check them out to your local computer.
- Click OK. A status box appears on screen as the files get added.
