Creating a Local Repository

A local repository stores the configuration files on a local drive or shared network drive. To create a local repository, follow the steps below:

1. From the Style Studio 'File' menu, select 'Configure'. This opens the 'Style Studio Configuration' dialog box.

2. Select the Repository tab.

3. On the Repository tab, press the 'New' button. This opens the 'New Repository' dialog box.

4. In the 'Name' field, enter the label under which the repository should be listed.

5. Select the 'Local' option from the 'Type' listing, and press 'OK'.

 

A green check-mark indicates the working repository.

This adds a new local repository to the listing in the Repository tab, and automatically sets this new repository to be the working repository. (See Selecting the Working Repository for information on manually setting the working repository.)

 

The specified directory cannot be used for any other repository.

6. In the 'Configuration Directory' field, enter the full path to the desired repository directory (a local or network drive location). If the specified directory is empty, a new set of configuration files is created in that location. (See Creating a Clean Local Repository.)

7. (Optional) Select 'Disable Locking' to disable Style Studio's automatic locking mechanism. The locking mechanism prevents multiple developers from simultaneously editing the same assets (e.g., data models, queries, etc.), which might lead to edit conflicts. In general, leave the locking mechanism enabled.

8. Press 'OK' to close the dialog box.

This new 'Local' repository can be used either as the working repository or as a remote repository.
