Configuring Flow Service Users

See below to set up version control for a Flow Service user.

Configuring Version Control Settings

You can configure version control settings for a Flow Service user account on the Tools > Account page in the management console. Select a user and click Edit in the Version Control section. You can then configure the following settings:

Use version control	Select ON.
Subversion URL	Specify the server address and repository path, using an HTTP or svn URL. See below for the syntax.
Subversion username	Enter the name of the Subversion user account to authenticate with.
Subversion password	Enter the password of the user account.
Create a new folder at the URL	Select ON to create the folder specified in the URL if it doesn't exist.

See Also: Click Help on the Tools > Account page for the allowed values you can set for the Ignore and Lock Required properties.

Specifying the Subversion URL

In the Subversion URL property, specify the server address and repository path. See below for the syntax to specify an svn URL and examples.

svn://[server address]/[repository path]

svn://svnserver/system1
svn://svnserver/system2
svn://svnserver/test/user

Note

If you're using HTTP to connect, you'll need to get the HTTP URL where the repository is published from the Subversion server administrator. A repository can be published at any HTTP URL on the server.

Syncing the Home Folder

After you save the version control settings, you can click Sync Now to sync a user's home folder with the latest revision (the head revision) or with the revision you specify.

Next Steps

After you connect to the Flow Service server in the Flow Designer, the tree pane and file pane display the file status icons. You can use the version control toolbar to run version control commands, or right-click. See Flow Designer Workflows to work with the tree pane and file pane.

See Version Control Workflows to design projects following a lock-edit-unlock workflow.
