Maintaining artifacts in Jazz Source Control


Alka Bahirat (36177) | asked Jun 05 '09, 10:34 a.m.
Hi All,

Can we maintain artifacts other than code in RTC Jazz Source Control.

What is the way to do that. Is that done using the client or the web interface.

Thanks in advance

If you are using the Eclipse client, then any file that you want to add
to Jazz source control needs to be part of an Eclipse project in your
Eclipse workspace. The project does not have to be a Java project; it
can be any type of project. But it does have to be an project in your
Eclipse workspace.

If you use the "scm" command-line tool, I believe that you can add any
file to source control without it having to be within an Eclipse
project. But I have never done that myself, so I don't know for sure
that it is possible and I don't know exactly how to do it.

You can store any type of file under Jazz source control, regardless of
the file's contents. The procedure for doing that is exactly the same
as it is for files that contain source code.

Artifacts that are not files or that can't easily be represented as a
file can't be maintained in Jazz source control.


Hi David,

I am known to the procedure of adding a java code into jazz source control and also to add any artifact along with this java code.

But I am interested to know if I can add only artifact(like few word docs) into jazz source control without associating it to any java project.

If yes kindly elaborate the procedure to do that.

Thanks in advance.
