Can RTC use Subversion as the source repository?
![]()
I know RTC can import from subversion, but can you check in changes from the RTC repositories INTO subversion? Is there a selected export TO subversion or do you have to export the whole library and how would one do that?

RTC currently only has a one way flow of data from Subversion to the
RTC/Jazz server (using the importer). Because of this, there are basically two work flows that could be employed: 1) You can keep a Stream in RTC up-to-date with the latest changes from an SVN repository using the method described on this wiki page https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMImport. This would really only work if all changes are committed to SVN and then imported into RTC. 2) You can import the SVN data into RTC and then work exclusively in RTC. You could, at specified intervals, push the latest state back out the the SVN repository. This would really only work if all changes are made in RTC and pushed out to SVN. There is a work item requesting 2-way synchronization: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/40296 The request states CVS as the desired target but the work item also mentions SVN.

Hello kwerner,
Instead of using RTC SCM you can also use a SVN bridge to use SVN instead of SVN - if this is what you are looking for. You will loose certain capabilities like baselining builds, retreiving and accepting files without doing build scripts. If you have data in RTC and want to migrate it to SVN the best I know is the naive way: disconnect your projects from RTC and share them with SVN again. This will allow you to move certain baselines into SVN to start from there. I know RTC can import from subversion, but can you check in changes |
