Integrating projects

For ABB IRC5 projects, the component type ABB IRC5 is available in the ABB directory in versiondog .

You can customize component types in the AdminClient by using the Component Type Editor module.

 

In order to integrate your project data into versiondog , proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the above component type.

  2. Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Open in file manager (Ctrl+E).

  3. Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.

  4. Check in the component using the option Create base version and Check-In.

  5. You can now manage the project in versiondog .

If you do not have project data, you can still create a component that can be used to create a job to create a backup. You can then create a version of the project data from the backup created in that job on the server.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the above component type.

  2. Select the option Check-In without base version.

  3. In the AdminClient, create and run a job for this component.

  4. Open the UserClient and go to your component.

  5. In the Jobs tab, select the backup, click on Copy backup to directory and then copy the backup to the working directory.

  6. Create a new version of the component and check it in.
