Adding a
Shared
Subproject
Working With Subprojects
Build adds a static subproject based upon a specific revision of the
project that is used for building or testing the project, but not for
further development.
To specify a revision to base the build project, do one of the
following:
Select Revision, and from the list select a project revision
number, for example, 1.1.
Select Label, and from the list select a project label.
Default creates a project based on the type specified in the server
preferences. For information on what the default type is, see your
administrator.
5 To accept the options, click Finish. To modify the options, click Back.
The subproject appears in the Project or Sandbox view (see “Project
View” on page 457 or “Sandbox View” on page 469).
A shared subproject is a subproject that is a member of more than one
project. Source Integrity allows you to share a subproject between two or
more projects by referencing the original subproject. A shared subproject
allows you to access common members across many projects. Shared
subprojects are not required to be located within the same directory
structure or project hierarchy.
The first step to sharing a subproject is to select an existing subproject, or
master project that you want to add to another project. This existing
subproject will continue to reside within its original master project, but
will be referenced by the other project and shown as a shared subproject.
The next step is creating a new subproject file to represent the shared
subproject. In reality, a shared subproject is actually a new project which
shares the same archive as its original project.
Once you have selected a subproject you want to share and the project you
want to share it to, you can decide what type of subproject you want it to
be to complete the operation.
A shared subproject functions the same as an unshared subproject and is
accessible by the most commands.
