    Note: Version control is configured for entire LUW database or z/OS subsystem.

  3. Review the following for additional information:

    Version Control System Page

    Description

    Type

    Select the version control system name:

    • Apache Subversion™

      Note: The version number beside Subversion is an internal file definition used by Toad to check if an update for this file is available. It is not the actual version number for the version control provider.

    • Git
    • Team Foundation Server

      Note: If you select TFS, you must specify the workspace name for the provider in the Team Foundation Server Properties window that displays.

    • File system based

    Properties

    (Subversion only) Click this button (beside the Type field) and complete the binary path. Enter the path where the Subversion client that contains svn.exe is installed. For example, if you installed the CollabNet Subversion Client, you would enter:

    C:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion Client

    Note: Do not include svn.exe in the path.

    Server

    Select one of the following:

    • Subversion—Specify the existing working folder for the version control repository or specify the server string (for example: svn://MyServer).
    • TFS—Specify the server where your version control provider is installed and the port number (default is 8080) to use in the following format:

      • http://MyServer:Port for TSF 2008

      • http://MyServer:Port/TFS for TFS 2010, 2012

    Set your local Working Folder and your Version Control Folder will be automatically filled.

    User name/ Password

    Enter your Subversion command-line user name and password and click Login.

    Note: For TFS only, if you leave the user name and password fields blank, Toad uses your default Windows credentials.

    Version Control Configurations Options Page

    Description

    Version control folder

    Select the folder on the version control server where you want to check objects and scripts in.

    If you already have objects or scripts under version control, select the folder on the server where these objects or scripts are located.

    Note: Version control automatically checks out objects or scripts in this folder and any subfolders to the location you specify in the Working folder field.

    Working folder

    Select the root repository folder on the client computer to use as the default working folder for checking objects and SQL scripts out. If you already have objects or SQL scripts under version control, select the existing working folder for these.
  4. Manage object and scripts using Version Control. See Manage Objects under Version Control for more information.

Manage Objects and Scripts under Version Control

Note: Version Control should be configured in Toad before you start managing objects. See Configure Version Control for Objects for more information.

To add objects and scripts under version control

» Right-click an object or script and select Commit.

Tips: 

  • The objects under version control are marked with sign at the top right corner of the object's icon.
  • If you rename a version controlled object, Toad drops the original object and its history from version control and prompts you to add the renamed object to version control This newly renamed object does not have any history associated with it.
  • You can create and version control SQL scripts for current database using the Scripts node in the Object Explorer. Click to create the new script.

To manage objects and scripts under version control

  1. Determine object's version control status. Hover a mouse over the object in the Object Explorer to see its status. Review the following for additional information:

    Version Control status Description
    Uninitialized The object status is undetermined yet. This is a temporary status that is issued for all objects during version control status processing.
    Untracked The object is not added to version control.
    Ignored The object is added to ignore list and excluded from version control.
    UpToDate The object is under version control and is synchronized with version control repository. No changes are detected.
    Modified The object is under version control and has been modified by user. The changes are stored in local database only and need to be synchronized with version control repository.
    Merge

    The object is under version control and has been modified in both local database and version control repository.

    Note:: Toad's Version Control feature does not allow to merge object scripts.

    OutOfDate The object is under version control and has been modified in version control repository.
    Unknown

    The object is under version control but for some reason its status cannot be determined (for example, you created a script in your local database while the script with the same name already exists in version control repository, or you upgraded to a higher version of Toad and configured version control for the same repository while you have some uncommitted changes in the database).

    Tip: If you are sure that the object is up to date but is listed as unknown, commit the object in version control system to resolve unknown status.

    Deleted

    The object was under version control, but it was dropped or renamed in local database and exists only in version control repository.

    Tip: You can see deleted objects in the Controlled objects pane only. To access it right-click any object and select Show perspective. Once you commit changes in Controlled objects pane, the object with all history will be deleted from version control repository.

    NotInView The object is under version control and exists in version control repository only.
  2. Right-click an object or script and select one of the following actions:

    Use To...
    Show perspective Select to review all controlled objects for current configuration. See Review Controlled Objects for more information.
    Diff

    Select to review differences between the object script in your local database and the object's revision that was applied to it.

    Note: Diff is unavailable for File System Based configuration.

    Diff with latest revision Select to review differences between the object script in your local database and the latest revision in the version control repository.

    Example: You got the latest object revision from the repository 2 days ago. By the time you did it, the latest revision was 5. Yesterday your colleague worked with the same object and committed changes in the repository, which are now marked as revision 6.

    Today you altered the object's script and want to see the differences. You can select one of the following:

    • Diff—To compare the object in your local database with revision 5.

    • Diff with latest revision—To compare the object in your local database with revision 6.

    Show history

    Select to review all commits for selected object. See View History and Compare Revisions for more information.

    Tip: Select Show history on database to review all commits.

    Note: Show History is unavailable for File System Based configuration.

    Get latest revision Select to apply object's changes from the version control repository to your local database. The synchronization script is generated to update selected object to the latest revision.
    Commit

    Select to apply object's changes from your local database to the version control repository.

    Note: You should write a comment when committing changes.

    Undo changes Select to rollback changes in your local database. The synchronization script is generated to revert object to the revision which was a applied last time.
    Update status Select to compare a script in your local database with the script in the repository. New status will be issued according to the comparison results.
    Add to ignore list Select to exclude object from the version control. Ignored objects are not listed in Controlled Objects pane, Commit and Get latest revision are disabled.
    Remove from ignore list Select to set object status as Untracked and add it to version control.
    Open in Windows Explorer Select to navigate to the file in the Windows Explorer.

Tip: You can enable, disable, or delete a version control configuration under Tools | Options | Version Control | Configurations.

Troubleshoot Version Control

Troubleshoot Upgrades

For this release, the back-end of version control has been rewritten. If you previously used version control in Toad, the following may occur:

  • Version control settings are not migrated from the previous version of Toad, so you have to reconfigure version control in Toad.
  • In previous releases, the method Toad used to generate the script was different than the current method. After upgrading Toad and reconfiguring version control, the local revision of the objects differs from version control repository (The objects have Unknown status). If the object in your database is current, you should commit it into version control.  

Troubleshoot Other Issues

Review the following to help troubleshoot issues with version control:

Apache Subversion™ Issues Description

System cannot find file

If a message stating that, “The system cannot find the file specified” displays, this usually means that the Subversion executable cannot be found in the path you specified in the BinaryPath field of the Command Based Version Control Properties window. Verify that svn.exe exists in the directory you specified in this field.

Command execution

When executing Subversion commands, user input is not allowed. This presents an issue when the user is using Subversion with the SSH method and must enter a password to establish the Secure Shell.

Workaround:

Generate identity keys that automatically authenticate between the client and the server when connecting with SSH.

OutOfMemory exception when adding a large number of objects

When adding a large number of objects, Subversion may encounter OutOfMemory exception.

Workaround:

Commit objects in several steps.

SVN is missing in the list of available providers

If Subversion is missing in the list of available version control providers, it means that Subversion.xml was removed or corrupted.

Workaround:

Contact Support to get a new Subversion.xml and place it under <Toad install path>/Templates/Version Control/.

Object Issues Description

Adding multiple objects failed

When you add multiple objects to version control, the objects are grouped and added in batches (for example, all the tables for a particular schema are added at once). If an error (for example, failure to support Korean characters) causes this command to fail, none of the objects are added.

Script Issues Description

Canceled check-in

SQL scripts remain checked out if a change was made to the text, but check-in was canceled during the prompt for a check-in comment. This behavior is by design—that is; the user can either undo the checkout or check in the script.

Note: If you alter the object again, you receive a prompt to use the “locally changed” script. Click Yes to use the locally changed copy; click No to refresh the local copy from the source repository; click Cancel to cancel the prompt.
