Configure Version Control

To configure version control

  1. Ensure that a supported version control client is installed on the computer where Toad is installed. See About Version Control for more information about tested version control clients and supported versions.

  2. Right-click one or more objects in the Object Explorer and select Version Control | Version Control Wizard.

    Note: Version control is configured for individual databases separately. You cannot configure version control on server level.

  3. Review the following for additional information:

    4. Version Control System Page

    Description

    Type

    Select the version control system name:

    • Apache Subversion™

      Note: The version number beside Subversion is an internal file definition used by Toad to check if an update for this file is available. It is not the actual version number for the version control provider.

    • Team Foundation Server

      Note: If you select TFS, you must specify the workspace name for the provider in the Team Foundation Server Properties window that displays.

    • File system based

    Properties

    (Subversion only) Click this button (beside the Type field) and complete the binary path. Enter the path where the Subversion client that contains svn.exe is installed. For example, if you installed the CollabNet Subversion Client, you would enter:

    C:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion Client

    Note: Do not include svn.exe in the path.

    Server

    Select one of the following:

    • Subversion—Specify the existing working folder for the version control repository or specify the server string (for example: svn://MyServer).

    • TFS—Specify the server where your version control provider is installed and the port number (default is 8080) to use in the following format:

      • http://MyServer:Port for TSF 2008

      • http://MyServer:Port/TFS for TFS 2010, 2012

    • File System Based—Specify a directory at your local machine.

    User name/ Password

    Enter your Subversion command-line user name and password and click Login.

    Note: For TFS only, if you leave the user name and password fields blank, Toad uses your default Windows credentials.

    Default Version Control Settings Page

    Description

    Version control folder

    Select the folder on the version control server where you want to check objects and scripts in.

    If you already have objects or scripts under version control, select the folder on the server where these objects or scripts are located.

    Note: Version control automatically checks out objects or scripts in this folder and any subfolders to the location you specify in the Working folder field.

    Working folder

    		 Select the root repository folder on the client computer to use as the default working folder for checking objects and SQL scripts out. If you already have objects or SQL scripts under version control, select the existing working folder for these.
  4. Manage object and scripts using Version Control. See Manage Objects under Version Control for more information.
