Using an SVN Repositorydl-permalink__symbolPermalink

An SVN repository usually saves information as a file system tree, a hierarchy of files, and directories. Any number of clients connects to the SVN repository and reads or writes changes to the files in revisions.

Consult with your IT specialists for more information, for example how to create an SVN repository. For production purposes, we recommend a strictly dedicated administrative SVN server.

We recommend that you create the suggested default directory structure in the SVN repository.

Use the ‎file://‎ access method for testing purposes only.

You can reach SVN repositories that were created in format 1.8 or 1.9 via the ‎file://‎ protocol.

For testing purposes, you can create a local SVN repository without installing your own server. The SVN repository is accessed via ‎file://‎ and provides the same functionality as a server.

Creating a test repository with TortoiseSVN

Requirement: The SVN client TortoiseSVN 1.9 is installed on the development system.

  1. Create a new, empty folder on your local file system. The test repository will be created there.

    Example: ‎D:\SVN repository‎

  2. Click “TortoiseSVN  Create repository here”.

    The dialog “Create repository” opens.

  3. Click “Create directory tree”.

    The ‎SVN repository‎ is created.

Import the project into the SVN repository.

  1. Open the CODESYS project that you want to save in the SVN repository.

    Example: ‎A.project‎ is open.

  2. Click “Project  SVN  Import project to SVN”.

    The “Browse SVN repository” dialog opens.

  3. Select the directory ‎file:///D:/SVN repository/trunk‎ in the directory tree.

  4. Select the _svn_icon_create_folder command.

    The “Create remote directory” dialog opens.

  5. Specify the URL for the new directory.

    Note: Because the new directory should contain the CODESYS project, specify the project name with extension here.

    ‎file:///D:/SVN%20repository/trunk/A.project‎

  6. Click “OK” to close the dialog.

  7. Select the new project and click “OK” to exit the “Browse SVN repository” dialog.

    The “Import Project to SVN” dialog opens. The directory ‎file:///D:/SVN repository/trunk/A.project‎ is specified in “URL of SVN repository”.
