Sharing a Repository

To save assets into a repository other than the working reposi­tory, see Deploying a Report in Report Design.

If a team of developers is collaborating on creating reports or other assets (queries, models, scripts, etc.) for a particular project, it is best for all developers share the same working repository. This means that each developer should configure and select the same working repository in their own installation of Style Studio. See Configuring and Selecting a Repository for information on how to do this.

By sharing the same working repository, multiple developers can edit the same set of configuration files (datasource.xml, query.xml, stylereport.srl), which simplifies deployment and eliminated synchronization problems.

See Configuring and Selecting a Repository for information on selecting a repository type.

Any type of repository (local, database, or server) can be shared among developers. However, one type of repository may be better suited to distributed team development than another. The following sections explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different repository types for team development.
