Using SoftBench Configuration Manager

Managing the Archive System

 

Creating a Mapping between an Archive Directory

 

and Local Directory

 

SoftBench CM uses mappings to establish relationships between your

 

local files and directories and the corresponding SoftBench CM server

 

archive files and directories (see Figure 3-4). Before you can modify files

 

in an archive directory, you need to create a mapping between that

 

directory and a directory on your local system. The directory display area

 

lists the mappings that exists between the current archive directory and

 

your local system.

Figure 3-4

SoftBench CM File Mapping

To create a mapping:

1.Choose "Actions: Create New Mapping…".

SoftBench CM displays the "SoftCM Create Mapping" dialog box. The current archive directory automatically appears in the "Archive Directory" input area.

2.Enter the path of the local directory in the "Mapped to Local Directory" input area.

3.Select OK.

The SoftBench CM window lists the local directory to which the archive directory is mapped and displays the contents of the current archive directory. Once a mapping exists, you can create copies of archive files and directories on your local file system, modify the local files, or create new files and directories.
