Sharing a Repository
To save assets into a repository other than the working repository, see Deploying a Report, Data Source, or Other Asset.
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 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 eliminates synchronization problems.
See Configuring 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 than another to distributed team development in a particular context. The following sections explain the advantages and disadvantages of the different repository types for team development.
