Sharing a Local Repository
To share a working repository using the 'Local' repository option, mount a network drive and create a directory on this network drive for the repository. Each developer should follow the steps given in Creating a Local Repository and specify this network drive directory as their 'Configuration Directory'.
Note: For the 'Local' repository approach, set the 'locklevel.user' property in the 'sree.properties' file to 'false' (default).
A useful variation on this approach is to set the 'Configuration Directory' to the SREE Home directory of a test server (e.g., server/webapps/sree/WEB-INF/classes). This ensures that modifucations you make to reports, data sources, queries, assets, etc., will be avialable to the server without any special deployment. However, you should be aware that Style Studio will load the server's sree.properties settings with a higher priority than those in the .stylereport file in the user home directory, and Style Studio does not write back to sree.properties.
It is prudent to implement a backup procedure for network drives.
The network drive approach to a shared repository is very straightforward if your organization already uses network drives. However, this solution may not be feasible if a development team is distributed across more than one office, or if members do not have access to a single network drive. In this case, consider using the 'Database' repository option described below.
