Toad Data Point 6.1 - Installation Guide

Configure Version Control

File Version Control

Toad can integrate with your existing version control system allowing you to maintain multiple versions of Toad files. After you integrate Toad with your version control system, you can perform version control tasks directly from within Toad, such as commit file changes and retrieve revisions.

Toad supports the following version control systems for managing Toad files:

• Apache Subversion™—Toad has been tested with Subversion 1.7.5 and 1.8.

The following types of files can be managed using version control from within Toad: Editor (.tef, .sql, .txt), Query Builder (.tsm), ER Diagram (.ter), and Automation (.tas).

To configure version control for Toad files

1. Ensure that an Apache Subversion client is installed on the same computer as Toad.

2. In Toad, open one of the supported file types. Then right-click the document window tab and select File Version Control | Version Control Wizard. This action opens the Version Control Wizard which allows you to configure Toad for your version control system.

3. Use the wizard to provide information about your version control system to Toad. Review the following for additional information:

   Field/Button
   Version Control System Page
   Type	Select Subversion.
   Properties	Click the Properties button and enter the path to the Subversion executable (svn.exe) on the client computer. For example, if using TortoiseSVN, the path might be: C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin Note: Do not include svn.exe in the path.
   Server	Enter the URL for the Subversion repository on the Subversion server.
   Login and Password	Enter the user name and password for your Subversion account.
   Default Version Control Settings Page
   Version Control Folder	Select the folder on the Subversion server where you want to check in files. If you currently have files under version control, select the folder on the server where these files are located.
   Working Folder	Select a folder on the client computer to use as the root working folder. This is the location into which you will check out files. If you currently have files under version control, select your existing working folder.

To add a file to version control

1. After configuring version control for files, you can start adding files to version control from within Toad. Right-click a document window tab and select File Version Control | Add file to working folder.
2. Select a location in your working folder in which to save the file. Click Save.
3. In the Commit dialog, enter a comment and click OK to add the file to version control.

To browse the repository

1. Right-click the document window tab (of one of the supported file types) and select File Version Control | Repository Browser.

2. In the Repository Browser you can right-click a file to perform one of the following actions. Available actions depend on the file's status.

   Action	Description
   Open	Open the file in Toad.
   Commit	Commit your changes. Available for Modified or Untracked files.
   Undo Changes	Discards your changes and reverts to the previous revision of the file (previous commit). Available when the file status is Modified.
   Get Latest Version	Check out the latest revision from the remote repository. Available when the file status is OutOfDate.

To commit your changes

• After modifying a file, right-click the document window tab and select File Version Control | Commit.

To compare revisions (Editor files only)

• After modifying and saving an Editor file, you might want to compare your changes to the remote copy (last commit) before committing your changes. Right-click the document tab and select File Version Control | Diff with latest revision.
• You can compare two revisions of an Editor file (.tef, .sql, or .txt) by using the History dialog.
  1. To open a file's History dialog, right-click the document tab and select File Version Control | Show history.
  2. Select two revisions to compare. Then right-click the revisions and select Compare revisions.
  3. For an OutOfDate file, right-click the latest revision in the History dialog and select Compare with working copy to compare the remote file to your working copy.

To check file status

• The status of a currently open file displays in the status bar of the document window. You can also place the cursor over the document tab to display status.
• You can check the status of one or more files by using the Repository Browser. To update file status in the Repository Browser, right-click a folder and select Update folder.

• Review the following file status definitions.

  File Status	Definition
  Untracked	The file has not been added to version control. Right-click the file in the Repository Browser and select Commit to add it to version control.
  UpToDate	The file in your working folder is synchronized with the file in the remote repository. No changes are detected. No action is required.
  Modified	The working copy of this file was modified. The changes are stored in the working folder only. Commit this file to add the changes to the remote repository.
  OutOfDate	A more recent revision of this file exists in the remote repository. To update your working copy, check out the latest revision from the remote repository (right-click the file and select Get Latest Version).
  Unknown	The file is under version control, but its status cannot be determined.
  Deleted	The file was under version control, but it was dropped or renamed in the working folder and exists only in the remote repository.
