eROSE needs a database to perform fast mining. This database is created in this step. Note that the creation of the database takes a while and cannot be interrupted. We recommend that you use eROSE only for small projects until we have implemented an incremental preprocessing.
Select eROSE→ Preprocess project... from the context menu of a project (that is shared with CVS). This opens the preprocessing wizard:
Choose the "Internal Database" and click on "Finish".
Now eROSE analyzes the CVS repository of this project. Click on "Details" for more information about the progress or select "Run in Background".
The preprocessing consists of four steps:
Mirror CVS repository into database.
Group revisions to transactions.
Parse revisions for fine-grained changes (takes most of the time; see screenshot).
Setup Rose tables.
After the preprocessing has been completed you will be informed with a message box.
In case you have selected "Run in Background", check the progress of eROSE in the Progress view. The "OK" means successful completion.
