ANN: New Technical Paper - Software Configuration Manager and Oracle Forms

Check out the new technical paper
"Oracle9i SCM and Oracle9i Forms Integration" at:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/htdocs/9iscmforms.html
This paper shows you how to use Oracle9i SCM to manage team development and version control of Oracle Forms projects.
You can also diff and merge FMBs.
More info on Oracle9i SCM - part of Oracle9i Developer Suite at: http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/content.html

We got the configuration upload to work today and it did show up rather fast on Metalink 3. What we ended up having to do, was to install the software twice on the server once in the c:\sba80\gtwysrvr and once in the c:\sba80\siebsrvr directory.
If you are behind a proxy remember to use the -p parameter when calling setupCCR.

  • Software Configuration Management and Delivery

    A client of ours wants to use Designer6i for software configuration management. We set it up, got it working, and have demonstrated such to the client. Oracle's documentation states the one missing piece in 6i is software delivery. Designer9i is supposed to have this piece. I have been searching the documentation and can't seem to find any information describing how it works in 9i. I have read that Oracle believes it's there, but have not found any good examples of how it does this. Has anyone else tried this or found documentation they can pass along? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much for your answers!
    @Pushkar:
    No this is not exactly what I meant;
    What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
    development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
    It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
    I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
    - the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
    - Branching / Merging mechanisms
    - the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
    - view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
    I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
    Thank you for further help,

  • Software Configuration Management of Oracle eBS

    Hi All
    I am setting up a standard configuration management, build & deployment automation and change & release management process for all types of applications including Oracle eBS, Informatica, Siebel, Cognos, Java etc. As you know, SCM for Java and .Net types of applications are very matured, but not for other types of applications such as Oracle eBS.
    Can you give me some hint on how to manage Oracle eBS applications from SCM's perspective? For example,
    1. How to version control eBS artifacts?
    2. How to build eBS artifacts and then deploy to a new environment?
    3. How to manage changes?
    We have a standard SCM tool called RTC from IBM, which has version control, build and change control functions.
    Thanks
    Jirong

    Hello Jirong,
    I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
    I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
    https://blogs.oracle.com/ebs_customization_management/
    In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
    You can find me in linkedin.
    Best Regards

  • Re: Container Based Software Configuration Management

    I've read the overview of Container Based Software Configuration Management and
    have to admit that it is a nice concept. In fact, our SCM product SiberSafe Expert
    2.0 (www.siberlogic.www) almost literally follows the guidelines mentioned in
    the overview except that we call it Component Management.
    SiberSafe recognizes the fact that most of software projects consist of software
    components that have been inherited from and are being reused in other projects.
    SiberSafe was built on the premise that it is critical to be able to version components
    consisting of multiple files and folders so that a new project can be created
    out of particular versions of multiple exising
    components.
    SiberSafe also recognizes the fact that various versions of various components
    may be distributed not only across multiple projects, but also across multiple
    lines of development (we call them "development streams"). This is why SiberSafe
    makes the propagation of new versions of components from their "home" streams
    into other streams where they are used and reused
    as simple as a mouse button click.
    When a few projects have a few development lines (streams) each and there are
    tens or even hundreds of software components reused across these projects and
    streams, it becomes pretty difficult to keep track of what went where and when.
    What is the version of a specific java bean that our project currently uses? Is
    there a newer version for that bean available? What verson of that bean do other
    projects use? In order to provide users with
    clear answers to this kind of questions SiberSafe automatically generates a visual
    development flowchart that graphically shows relationships and interactions among
    various components, component versions, projects and lines of development.
    In fact, SiberSafe can easily generate such a flowchart even for a single file,
    showing the full "travel" history of that file across projects and streams.

    All,
    There has been some uptake and some great feedback on rConfig since I made this announcement two weeks ago. rConfig is offically released as Version1 today. Please login to www.rconfig.com and download a copy.
    You know, it takes less than 1 hour to install rConfig on Linux and more than 2 hours to get some of it's well known commercial counterparts up and running. There is even a complete, easy-to-follow Linux build document designed especially for the rConfig installation on www.rconfig.com. You'll be backing up Cisco configuration and show outputs in no time with rConfig. And even learning a bit of Linux along the way.
    And remember, it's free & open source.
    Regards

  • Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

    Hi,
    we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
    For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
    Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
    - Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
    -- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
    -- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
    -- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change   Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
    - Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
    - Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we   release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a   'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
    When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
    We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
    Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
    My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
    But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
    Hope is the last to die...
    Thank you very much for any feedback,
    Regards,
    Jörg

  • Support for Software Configuration Management(SCM) Tools

    Hi!,
    I am using JDevloper for my project.
    I want to maintain the versions of all files in the project.Also,if all are using one Workspace on network and someone updates a file then message box got dispalyed asking for reloading buffers again.
    So to avoid this and maintain versions I want to use Software Configuration Management (SCM)Tools.So does JDeveloper supports for SCM tools?If yes kindly tell me how to use it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The upcoming release of JDeveloper (3.2) has support for SCM. In this release, support has been integrated with Oracle's own SCM product, Oracle Repository. In future releases, other SCM products (e.g. CVS) will be supported.
    When JDeveloper 3.2 is released (should be available at the end of Nov / start of Dec), the installation guide will have full details on how to install the Oracle Repository and use the SCM integration in JDeveloper.
    In 3.1 or earlier, a custom addin exists for JDeveloper that can be used to support SCM systems (see JDeveloper documentation on OTN). However, this is not as tightly integrated as the new SCM support coming in 3.2.

  • Siebel Software configuration management tool?

    Folks,
    Looking for any automated scheduling tool for Siebel Software configuration management. Any suggestions?
    In detail, I want to move all objects including DB tables, alter column, index, LOVs, MVGs, Workflow, SIF, SRF all via a automated tool that can be scheduled; accept all dependencies and install automatically from DEV to QA/QC, Volume Test to production with no manual intervention.
    Did anyone do this? Is it possible? What tool did you use?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your input. Now that I understand ADM's capabilities; I have one more question -- is there a tool that is built on top of ADM that can also schedule the moves -- i.e., say if I have to move all the objects say at 11:00PM; is there a scheduling tool that I can use? A higher level tool all GUI based so that this can be done easily -- with someone who has no knowledge of cron or others like? Actually in the past I was responsible for Oracle ERP and we used Kanata which has these capabilities and I am looking for a similar tool.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Is anyone using the Oracle Software Configuration Manager (SCM) feature?

    I would like to provide version control over my forms development process (check in, check out, etc). I see that there is a built in Oracle Software Configuration Management tool. Has anyone used it?
    Any pros?
    Any cons?

    Hi Daniel, it looks like Bruce has succinctly and accurately described configuration of the ImportManager step above (8/13).
    One thing I could add is that the Key Field for Manager ID field should be set to the LDAP attribute that contains the 'pointer' to a given person's manager.
    For example, given John Smith's sample LDAP record with the following attributes and values:
    givenName = John
    sn = Smith
    uid = jsmith01
    mgrUid = mmartin51
    In this exam

  • Software Configuration Manager Vs Forms&Reports 6i

    I develope using Forms&Reports 6i, can I manage my source files (fmb, rdf, pll, text file, ...) with Software Configuration Manager?
    Which is the best way to do this?

    Fabio,
    Most certainly. Not only can you manage the source code but you can also merge .fmb files and run dependency analysis against forms and reports to identify the impact of changes to the schema or application.
    There are plenty of examples at http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/demos.html

    Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

    If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.
