Importing assets from CVS

Assets that are connected with CVS will automatically be checked out of CVS when you import the asset into your workspace.

Before you begin

After you find an asset and want to modify the contents, follow these instructions to import an asset from CVS into your workspace.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the asset name in the Search Results View, and click Import.
  2. In the Import SCM Asset dialog select Import files through SCM.
  3. Select Import latest from current branch. This will retrieve the latest contents from CVS then click Next.
  4. Click Finish. The asset opens in your workspace. If a connection to the CVS server does not exist, fill in the connection details in the Add CVS Repository dialog that appears.

Example

The asset is imported into your workspace. Once you have completed any updates to the files commit the file back to CVS.
