Moving a workspace in CCS

Justin Oliver

Hello,

Is there a way to zip my workspace and send it to someone?  When I zip it up and reopen it, CCS doesn't show any of the projects I had loaded in it (I have to reload them like it is a new workspace).

Thanks,

Justin

    Hi Justin,

    You can zip up and share/move a project by following these steps.  This is taken from some CCSv4 training material.  Please give it a try and let me know, also if you are using a different CCS version. The steps below do assume your path/linking are not to complicated as mentioned.

    Cheers,
    Lisa

     

     

    •Use the CCS Export Project to create an archive (zip) file that contains the project folder and all project linked source files
    –Note that this technique will fail if Linked Path variables are used!
    •Exporting your project: These instructions cover how to archive your project on the source computer
    –File -> Export
    –Expand "General" and select "Archive File". Click "Next"
    –The dialog that appears allows you to select which projects you wish to export to the archive. When you select a project it will show you on the right hand side all of the items it is going to export. Check the box beside the project to indicate that you want to archive it.
    –Specify a name for your archive and select either zip or tar, then click "Finish"
    –You now have a zip file on your computer containing the project. Not only did it copy in the files that are physically located in your project directory but it also copied in your linked/referenced resources
     
    •Importing the project on another machine: These instructions cover how to import the project from the archive. What happens is that it will import the project into your workspace
    –Project -> Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project
    –Change the radio button selection at the top to "Select archive file"
    –Browse to and select your archive file
    –It will list all of the projects found in the archive. The are all selected by default. Select the ones you want and click "Finish"
    –The project is now in your workspace
    •For linked/referenced resources it will copy those files from the archive in place then at the same path where they were located on the original computer:

    Hello,

    I am not sure if you understood my question.  I know how to export the projects, but the problem is I would have to import them.  I am asking if there is a way to export my entire workspace so that I do not have to import my projects?

    Thanks,

    Justin

    Hi Justin,

    I do not believe you can zip an entire workspace.   The reason being it contains local setup information on your display, settings etc.   Therefore someone can import a project and keep some of their settings.

    Sorry to have to dissappoint but I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa
