Open an existing project and click on Configuration, Source Control tab.
Source Configuration
Source configuration is is selecting the SCM Type and repositories for the project.

The Attributes are optional data that you can use to give different values to executions based on which branch you built from.

Subversion Source Configurations
For Subversion one or more project sources can be configured with the details as described in the table below. FlexDeploy provides flexibility by supporting groovy script to define these values. Click on the expression button to include variables as part of the value. Additional sources can be added by Clicking on the Add Source button.
...
First approach works well if you have a single Subversion repository. If you have multiple Subversion repositories in your environment, then you can utilize second approach to configure project based on some criteria. You can accomplish this by placing an "if" statement within Groovy script for the defaults. With this approach all attributes in Subversion configurations will be empty initially, and when user selects SVN Instance, configuration values will be defaulted appropriately.
| Tip |
|---|
In example below, if If Project Name is Project1 and Branch Names are trunk and fixpack1, here is what will be actual values of various configurations.
This structure does not need to match with your Subversion repository. You just need to define Groovy scripts to match your repository structure. |
...
Field Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
SVN Instance | Yes | An SCM Instance representing a Subversion repository. See Instances section of this guide to create SCM Type Instance. Refer to the SCM Instances page for more information. |
Trunk Path Script | Yes | Path for the trunk within selected repository. |
Branch Path Script | No | Path for the branches within selected repository. Use the BranchName variable to identify branch name used at runtime. |
Tag Path Script | No | Path for the tag within the selected repository. Use the ProjectVersion variable to specify identifier of current build. |
Checkout Folder Script | No | Optional sub-folder to use for export/checkout operations during build workflow execution. |
Git SCM Configurations

In example below, if If Project Name is Project1 and Branch Names are master and fixpack1, here is what will be actual values of various configurations.
This structure does not need to match your Git repository. You just need to define Groovy scripts to match your repository structure. In many cases you might be sharing Git repository with other folders, so you may have to configure Sparse Checkout Folders for efficient build process. |
Field Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
Git Instance | Yes | An SCM Instance representing a Git repository. See the Instances section to create SCM Type Instance. Refer to the SCM Instances page for more information. |
Branch Name Script | Yes | Path for the branches within selected repository. Use BranchName variable to identify branch name used at runtime. |
Tag Name Script | Yes | Path for the tag within the selected repository. Use ProjectVersion variable to specify identifier of current build. |
Sparse Checkout Folders Script | No | This is very useful when you have many folders in your Git repository, but your project only needs few folders for build. Multiple folders can be separated by commas. Continuous integration support will make sure to check for changes only in these folders as well if configured. e.g. “HRDemoApp” -only pull HRDemoApp from Git repository. e.g. “HRDemoApp,ConfigPlans” -only pull folders HRDemoApp and ConfigPlans (and their contents) from Git repository. |
Checkout Folder Script | No | Optional sub-folder to use for clone operation during build workflow execution. |

Module Names Script | Yes | Module Names or Module subdirectories to be selected from repository. Module subdirectories should traverse starting at the Module Name. Multiple Modules may be selected by separating the names/paths with commas. |
Branch Name Script | Yes | Path for the branches within selected repository. Use BranchName variable to identify branch name used at runtime. |
Tag Script | Yes | Tag script to be used when creating tags for the project in the repository. Use ProjectVersion variable to specify identifier of current build. |
Checkout Folder Script | No | Optional sub-folder to use for clone operation during build workflow execution. |
