Working disconnected

Using a local project will allow you to work disconnected, and push your changes once you connect again. There are some settings you will want to set up to work this way.

About this task

To work disconnected, you will want to use these settings:

Procedure

  1. When creating a project, ensure Push on save, and Push on build (if available) are turned off.

    To change these settings for projects already created:

    • Right-click the project in the Project Explorer view, select Properties. Select Remote Contexts.
    • Right-click the project in the Project Explorer view or Remote Reconciler view, select Remote Reconciler > Push/Pull Settings. For more information on Push/Pull Settings, see Project Explorer view and Remote Reconciler view.
      Note: In addition to ensuring Push on Save, and Push on build (if available) are turned off, you must also ensure that Pull on Remote Update is also turned off. When these options are off, the icons on the menu are not highlighted. You should also ensure that Configure Automatic Synchronization... is set to the default value of 0 to indicate that no automatic synchronization is done.
    You can change the defaults for these options when creating new projects in Window > Preferences, then selecting Remote Systems > Remote Reconciler and then selecting the project type.
    Note: This setting is only available as a preference for some project types.
  2. Turn off Build Automatically. See Turning automatic building on/off
