SHARED WORKSPACE IN CICSEXPLORER

We need the possibility to share the CICS EXPLORER workspace across different users. It means that we can have different people that read/write resources on workspace at the same time. So a sort of lock should be implemented.

    Closing this RFE as the customer solved his problem as suggested by sharing the project rather than the workspace.

    Hi,
    i think that the article you reported can be useful also for other users.
    Meanwhile I solved my problem with creation of 2 shared folders. In the first one I have saved the file that contains the connection to the CICS regions.
    In the second I have saved the projects of Business Events.
    Then I imported the Events projects in the workspace without selecting the option "copy project into workspace".
    I notice that when a user makes change on the project this change is reported to other users.

    Best regards.

    For events which are held in workspace projects, rather than sharing the workspace, the preferred solution is to share the projects themselves.  This is achieved by using a source code management tool, such as CVS, or SVN, or Rational Team Concert.  We don't provide specific help on how to do this, although there are good articles on the web for how to share project and have a "check-in" and "check-out" approach to the projects, similar to how source code is authored and shared between developers - the one here http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2FgettingStarted%2Fqs-60_team.htm talks you through how to share projects using a CVS repository.  I have thought that it would make a good article/blog entry to talk specifically about how to use the CICS Explorer and sharing projects between users and focus on events - do you think this would be something useful for us to publish ?
