10. Sharing Projects by Network Facilities
The High-performance Embedded Workshop is capable of sharing workspaces and projects across a network. This
allows users to concurrently work on shared projects and see each other’s changes as they happen. This system can be
used in conjunction with version control. The major difference with using this system is that each user can modify and
update the workspace and project without making all of the other users reload their project and potentially lose all their
changes.

This system is implemented by making one of the machines attached to the network the server machine. All other client
machines then use the service this machine is providing. So if one of the client machines adds a new file, the server
machine is notified. The server then notifies all other clients the action has taken place. This procedure is shown below.

The network system allows users to be given access rights to files. This allows the project administrator to make sure
the only people who can modify the project and source files are allowed to do so. This might allow the administrator to
limit each user to only have write capabilities for their own area of the project, other areas would be read only. This
could limit any potential conflict or damage one user could do to other areas of the project. These limitations can be set
to a number of different levels. This is outlined later in this section.

Notes:
• Sharing projects by network facilities is not possible under the Windows Vista® operating system.
• Certain operations are locked when other clients are carrying them out. This means that if one user is currently
• Certain operations are locked when other clients are carrying them out. This means that if one user is currently
changing the toolchain options all of the other users can only see read only versions of this data.
• The performance of High-performance Embedded Workshop does suffer when using the network facilities. If
working in a small team it might be more suitable to use the single user mode and version control.
