Team Development Using Independent Repositories
If your team cannot use a shared repository as recommended in Sharing a Repository, it is still possible for multiple developers to create assets using independent repositories. However, if developers use independent repositories, you will need to merge the assets that they have individually created.
To merge assets from multiple independent repositories into a single deployment repository, follow the steps below:
1. Instruct each developer to deploy the assets which they have created into an independent JAR file. (See Deploying a Report or Asset to a JAR File.)
2. Move these JAR files to a location which is accessible to the deployment repository.
3. Import the assets from the JAR files into the deployment repository:
a. To do this from within Style Studio, see Importing Assets from a JAR File.
b. To do this from within Enterprise Manager, see Importing Assets in Administration Reference.
The assets are merged into the deployment repository. To synchronize the independent developer repositories with the deployment repository, you can use the same approach in reverse: Export a JAR with the desired assets from the deployment repository, and import the JAR contents into the individual developer repositories.
