How do I have multiple users working on a single workspace (Beginner)

[Anonymous]

I have installed "talend open studio for data integration" on my RHEL 7 VM, me and my teammate want to work on developing jobs in the same workspace, but my teammates encounter the below error if I have already been using the workspace.

How do I have multiple users working on the same environment? Or do I need to set up version control system (SVN/git) in this scenario to let different users have their own workspace and commit their changes so that all workspace have the same version?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, you cannot share a workspace. It must be one workspace to one user.

You can use SVN however you must abide by certain rules when doing this. Only add the project folders within your workspace folder to SVN. DO NOT work on the same job at the same time with someone else. Merging of code is not going to work.

Thanks for the reply.

If I have added the project folders to SVN and start developing my job, I have to manually commit the changes in my project folder every time I finished edit the job?

Yes, that is correct....if you want your colleagues to see those changes.

I should point out that this is handled automatically and far more elegantly in the Enterprise Edition of Talend
