When you load a repository workspace, the contents of that
workspace are copied into your local workspace. You can unload a local
workspace if you no longer need local copies of the project. While
creating a new repository workspace, you can choose the components
that you want to load to the repository workspace.
Before you begin
Before loading a repository workspace, you need to add the
required components to the repository workspace.
About this task
You can use the Load option to
load the repository workspace. The Load As option
is particularly useful when you want to load specific components and
when you want to change the location of your local workspace
and the folder or file name.
To load a repository workspace:
Procedure
- In the Team Artifacts window or the Pending
Changes window, right-click a repository workspace and
click Load. You can also load from
the Repository Files window.
- In Load Repository Workspace wizard,
click Browse to select the file area in your Windows® explorer.
- Optional: To leave the file area unloaded,
click Do not load anything, and then click Finish. The repository workspace will be listed in the Pending
Changes window. You can load it later if you want.
- Click Next.
- Select the components or folders that you want to load
and click Finish. If you select
the Load the selected components as root folders checkbox,
the selected components will be loaded as root folders. If the files
are already loaded, you will be asked to overwrite. To overwrite,
click OK.
Results
The repository workspace files are loaded to your local workspace.
To unload a repository workspace, right-click the repository workspace
and click
Unload.
