Loading or unloading a repository workspace

Load the contents of a repository workspace into a local Eclipse workspace so that you can work with project contents. Unload the workspace when you no longer need local copies of the projects it contains.

When you create a new repository workspace, you are given the option to load it immediately. You can also load a repository workspace, or unload it, at any time. Loading a repository workspace copies all of the components in it into the Eclipse workspace associated with your current repository connection. When you unload a workspace, you can choose to leave the local copies of the files in you Eclipse workspace and disconnect the projects from Jazz™ source control, or delete all of the projects from your Eclipse workspace, including files that you created in the local workspace but never checked in.

To load or unload a repository workspace, right click the repository workspace in the Team Artifacts or Pending Changes view and the select Load or Unload. Selecting Load starts a Load Wizard that helps you specify what to load and how to load it.

  1. On the Load repository Workspace page, choose how to load projects or selected resources in them into your Eclipse workspace.
    • To load repository workspace contents into your Eclipse workspace as individual Eclipse projects, select Load the root folders of the components as projects. Click Next to choose projects to load, or click Finish to load all projects in the workspace.
    • To search the repository workspace for Eclipse projects to load, select Find and load Eclipse projects. Click Next to choose projects to load, or click Finish to load all projects in the workspace.
    • To browse components and select individual folders to load, select Browse the components to select the folders to be loaded and click Next.
    • To leave the Eclipse workspace unloaded, select Do not load anythingand click Finish. The repository workspace will be listed in the Pending Changes view. You can load it later if you want.
  2. On the Repository folders to load page, choose folders to load. The Load Wizard reports overlaps when a selection includes a folder that is contained by a folder that is already selected for loading. You cannot load a folder selection that includes overlaps.
  3. When any overlaps have been removed, click Finish.

The selected projects or folders are loaded into your Eclipse workspace.
