Ericsson RSA/P Best Practice

1.1 INTRODUCTION

StarTeam uses a standard check-in/check-out system for revision handling. Ericsson companies using StarTeam all have a central server commonly referred to as a repository. Technically, this repository is a database where all files (and their different revisions) are stored.

StarTeam provides an easy to use interface between this database and the developer’s local hard-drive. The StarTeam administrator specifies a default working directory for each database. At RSA/P this directory is C:\PROJECTS.

Simply speaking, StarTeam takes care of the synchronization between your local C:\PROJECTS folder and the global database. If you change a file in your local working folder, and would like other people to access it, you must CHECK-IN the file to the database. If you find a file you want in the database, you should use the CHECK-OUT function. This function retrieves the file from the database and stores it in your local working folder.

1.2 GETTING STARTED

Make sure you have StarTeam correctly installed and configured. Refer to the StarTeam installation instructions in this guide for more information. If you have installed StarTeam correctly the screen should look like this:
