Enterprise Architect (5.0) and Subversion SCC interface

[Murray Allen <MA...@aminocom.com>]

We are running a trial version of EA (Enterprise Architect) which we are
impressed with so far.

We are trying to get EA to work with Subversion which is an SCC
compliant version control system.

We have followed the instructions and have set it up to control a
package within our project. The package can be checked out, modified and
checked in with changes showing up in the file history. However when we
select an earlier version of the package and press Get(overwrite) it
does not get an earlier version of the package. The local XML file and
the diagram on the screen are still at the latest version.

I presume that the "history view" window that is displayed is the
subversion GUI and hence the "get(overwrite)" button is triggering an
action in subversion? It may be the case that subversion is not getting
the file out or putting it somewhere else.

 

Can you help?

 

Many thanks

I'm not sure where you read that but it's not correct. Subversion itself 
is not compliant with Microsoft's SCC API. There are a couple tools 
which have tried to bridge this gap but so far they're all very kludgy, 
unreliable, and/or slow (from my experience).

You are talking about some other product here. There is no Subversion 
GUI. The Subversion project provides only command-line tools and a set 
of libraries. You'll need to contact whomever it is that made your SCC 
plugin for more information.
