Component Source Control

Has anyone out there come up with a Source Control solution for UCM component development?
I am looking for check out/in and version control of resources so that we can better control the development effort.
We have inadvertantly propmoted several changes to components recently because of multiple developers working on the same resource.
Cheers

We've used CVS in the past to control components. Not the best, but doable. You can create build files to generate a component zip/tag easily enough.

  • APEX Version/Source control

    Hi,
    I would like to know how other people are managing this. We have developed our own way which works 99% of the time however there are some flaws.
    We require that more than one user be working on an application at a time and that these different pages can be released to production at different times.
    We have some pretty large applications, some business critical.
    1) We export the full application into our CVS application
    2) We export each page individually and assign module numbers as we do with apps forms etc
    3) Initially the full application is released to prod
    4) Any subsequent page changes are done to the page export and that page only is released. The revision is increased on that page module.
    5) If any changes to shared components are made then the full application is released.
    All updates are stored in packages which we manage as per our normal apps packages without any problems. Our problems are with apex applications.
    Let's say user A has exported page 1 of an application and is working on a large change.
    User B is also working on a very small change which involves adding a new item to a list.
    User B wishes to release his change but cannot do so at page level because of the shared component - he must release either full app or do a separate export for that component.
    He cannot release the full app because user A is still using it.
    The only thing he can do is do an export of the components and then import that. This is then not version controlled. It is not acceptable for us to have to export and manage every single component individually (I know you can do them as one whole but then if two users are modifying shared components then the issue arises again!)
    There is always a mis-match between the application full export and the pages. If we ever had to recover an app, our strategy is to install the full app and then the individual pages. This isn't ideal however so long as we keep things up to date then we have to accept it.
    Does anyone have any better procedures than this?? With APEX becoming more and more popular then I believe it needs to become a little more formal in this area. Or perhaps I am just missing something?
    I've read the thread Source/version control with APEX? but it doesn't really relate to the issue above.

    Hello Chris,
    I'm not sure how you organized your project, but a typical APEX project for me has different components:
    - PL/SQL where all business logic is in
    - External JavaScript files to do some client side things
    - External CSS files to handle the look and feel
    - APEX application(s)
    So for all of the above you want source control. We use Subversion. For the first three (plsql, javascript, css) I guess it's trivial how do this as they are just files.
    For APEX you can export your application every night (and even split it into different components if you want). So that gives you one or more files as well which can be loaded in Subversion.
    If you want to do team development in APEX; we use following features:
    - Locking of Page
    - Build Options
    - Entering Comments
    If it's a very big project you might want to split your APEX application in multiple ones which can work together (same Authentication scheme, same Theme etc. by Publish and Subscribe option).
    APEX itself is also build in APEX, and they use different applications as well, but you don't see it in APEX itself, you just see it by the changing APP number in the url.
    I'm not sure how familiar you are with all of the above, but this is roughly the way we do it.
    Hope that helps and give you a clearer view.
    Regards,
    Dimitri

  • Add local model to source control

    Hi,
    System: CE 7.11. SP3, Web-based VC
    I want to add a local VC model to source control. I configured the VC using this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/48/a880bf516b35b9e10000000a42189d/content.htm].
    In the SLD I created a product and a software component. I created a track with the necessary components for a Composite Application.  In the browser based VC I open the local model and click on the button Add model to Source Control.
    The following error appears:
    Could not retrieve list of Software Components. There may be a problem with the DTR configuration. Check with your system administrator
    How can I check that the DTR configuration is correct?
    Best regards,

  • No source control provider name listed

    We use Borland StarTeam for source code control, and in the past I have
    simply checked-in LabVIEW code directly from StarTeam.  Recently,
    I saw where LabVIEW 8 is supposed to support StarTeam, so I tried to
    configure LabVIEW to use it.  However, when I try to select a
    Source Control Provider Name, there are no options that show up (just
    "<None>").  After checking the help file, it says that
    LabView looks through the windows registry to find SCC providers; I
    checked my registry and Borland StarTeam shows up.  I don't
    understand why I can't select a provider under the Source Control
    Options page.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Verify that there is an entry for StarTeam in the following registry location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
    If not, that means that you need to install StarTeam's Microsoft SCC Integration component.  Check their downloads page (http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_starteam.html) for more information.

    Hi,
    Could I ask for a bit more information about your environment so that I can either track down the problem or provide a workaround:
    o Which specific version of Repository are you using?
    o Which version of Windows?
    o Does the workarea you're connecting to have a check-in branch set? (if you use Edit workarea... in the RON, check the Checkin branch page, and let me know if it's set to <None>).
    I'll also have a look back at the 3.2 code when I'm back in the office tomorrow to see if I can find out what's causing the exception.
    About the indication of status: this is one area where JDeveloper 3.2.3 is quite limited. The underlying addin API we use to integrate source control into 3.2 didn't have the flexibility we needed to display a state indicator in the navigator (in 9i, it's a whole lot more flexible, and we have very nice "overlay" icons that tell you what state a file is in). The only way to tell if a file is checked in or out in 3.2 is by looking at the Source Control menu for the file to see which items are enabled / disabled.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • Visual Studio 2013 slows down + crashes when using Source Control features.

    I have spent two full days trying to resolve this issue but no luck so here we go,
    I have created a project using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server plug-in in the past. Later on I switched to
    Microsoft Git Provider.
    Now when I connect to that project in the Team Explorer and double click on the solution to work on it locally it somehow changes the plug in to Microsoft Git Provider automatically and of course I can't
    Commit/Commit and Push since I receive following error in the Team Explorer,
    An error occurred. Detailed message: Failed to open directory 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Application Data/'
    Manually changing the plug-in to the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
    results in a broken Team Explorer as below,
    With Settings leading to an empty pane, and also a warning in the Team Explorer's Changes page telling me the message below if I click on Pending Changes...
    Microsoft Git Provider is not the current Source Control plug-in. Change Plug-in
    And manually selecting the solution from Solution Explorer, right click and
    Add Solution to Source Control, leads to never ending hour glass and (Not responding) visual studio.
    New Projects
    Creating a new project is straight forward, unless I "Add to Source Control" is checked. If so, again never ending process if Microsoft TFS plug-in is selected in the tools and eventually me Ending the Visual Studio task. And a VERY long process
    (40+ mins) if I have chosen Microsoft Git but that finishes successfully rather.
    New TFS project from Team Explorer
    If I create a new project in my Online Web Studio
    Click on Open with Visual Studio Link => Opens and connects to a my newly created TFS in team explorer.
    Clicking new in Team Explorer under Solutions to create a new solution and bind it to this Repo
    leads to straight crash of Visual Studio and restarting attempt of VS.
    So I really can't use Source Control from visual studio other than cloning GitHub's existing repo's on Visual Studio and Committing my current Microsoft Git managed projects.
    I have attempted
    Repairing Visual Studio (no luck in results)
    Devenv.exe /setup (no luck)
    Trying to scrap the SCC info on my solution then at least it won't get picked up by source control then I can Check it in as a new project. (no luck and the solution picks the Microsoft Git upon opening it by clicking on the .sln file.) I have followed
    these steps in this stack overflow answer.
    And lots of mucking around like removing my workspaces almost Thousand times and putting them back, binding and etc.
    I am really stuck on this and it's holding me back from staring a new project (which is problematic using Adding to Source Control) and unfortunately is dependent on the old project (which is developed under Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Plug-in which
    is throwing tantrums)
    Would like to hear you pro-s input on this
    Using 
    Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (recently switched from Pro to Express to Community)
    Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Hi Mehradzie,
    Based on the description, seems you're working with Git team project in Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service). I'd like to know whether you mean Visual Studio Git command tool as the plug-in, and if you're trying to create solutions/projects
    with Visual Studio and add them to the created Git team project.
    From the screenshot, you're not connect to the Git team project by using Team Explorer. To work with Git team project locally, you can follow the instructions as below:
    Connect to Git team project by using Team Explorer, after that you might install Git tools if you connect to the team project for the first time
    Clone the remote Git repository to a local git repository and set the path to local git repository
    Create a solution and select Git source control, also saved to the local path of the local git repository
    Select your branch, and then click "Changes" and Commit the changes
    Click "unsynced commits" and push the commit to remote git repository
    You can also refer to the links below for more information about getting started with Git in Visual Studio Online.

  • Can i use subfolders with source control for developer ?

    We'd like to use the repository as source control for our developer files.
    We planned to use the following structure in the repository:
    - Application Container
    - Folder
    - Files
    We uploaded the files in the repository.
    Now if we open the file through the ron the file will open in form builder, which is pretty good.
    The following thing I'de like to do is a checkout of the file ... ok ...i'm going to file - administration - checkout - the message occurs: no versionable object exists ! ... ? :-(.
    So I go to file - administration - source control options .. i'd like to say forms that it has to look for the file in a subfolder of the application system .. ok.
    After changing this i try again - the same message.
    If I return to source control options the container entry has been changed to the application folder.
    Are Subfolders not supported by the source control for developer ?
    Does anybody have the same effects ?
    Background informations ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Brian
    Sorry, for the delay. I worked for some day for another customer.
    Yes, i did.
    I'm working like this:
    - upload file with check in Folder which is under an application Folder (app - fmb )
    - then i check out the fmb in the repository
    - doubleclick in repository, which opens the form in form builder
    - change the file
    - File - Administration - check-in - connect to repository - choosing the workarea - and defining the folder (app - fmb ).
    - The file will be check-in, but directly under the folder app.

  • Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

    We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH.  Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally.  Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control.  The files are still set to read only.  I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files.  It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end.  While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
    This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1.  RH8 works no problem.  So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem.  Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area.  I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
    It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control.  If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control.  That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
    We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view.  No useful answers to that topic after a week.
    Got any ideas???
    I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
    Thanks,
    dv

    Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control.  It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out.  Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl.  Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control.  Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere.  This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

  • Multi-authoring with source control with RH10 and RH11

    Situation:
    Writer A is running RH10. Writer A opens Project A, from Visual Studio Source Control, which is connected to a Team Foundation Server.
    A new employee, Writer B, has been given RH11.
    Writer A can't install RH11 until after mid-June because of tight schedules (can't afford any upgrade problems).
    Writer B is supposed to work on the same Help project. (We know that RoboHelp does not support checking out the same file at the same time.)
    If Writer B configures her version of RH11 to work with TFS and Source Control, can she open Project A and work on it (from Source Control) without causing problems for Writer A?
    Thanks.
    Carol Levine

    If Writer B is not using Source Control or it is competely separate from Writer A, possibly but I still would not be comfortable.
    I think I would rather upgrade Writer A and I note your reservations. It's your call but it's like being between the devil and the deep blue sea. Neither is ideal.
    So far it looks like Rh11 upgrades have been OK.

  • How can I add a Website Project in a solution that should be excluded from source control?

    Using VS 2013 update 4
    I currently have a solution with a couple of Class Library Projects and Web Application Projects and all of these are bound to a source control (VS Online). Now I added an Existing Website Project in the same solution by choosing a Local IIS instance. However,
    I don't want this Website Project to be in source control.
    I have tried File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control ... and then clicked on the website project and then clicked Unbind. By doing this, it seems that the project was unbound. However, as soon as I close the solution it asks me
    to save the .sln file and seems that it restored the Scc*** info in the file.
    I also tried editing the .sln file and set the SccProjectEnlistmentChoice* = 0 (of the website project, under GlobalSection) and then set the ProjectSection of the WebsiteProject to 
    SccProjectName = ""
    SccAuxPath = ""
    SccLocalPath = ""
    SccProvider = ""
    instead of "SAK". This actually worked for me but everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio alerts an error saying "Unspecified error". This is the closest I got into solving this.
    Is there a proper way of doing this? I think the proper way should be the "Unbind" method but it seems that it's not working as expected.
    Let me know of other solutions.
    Cheers!

  • How do I use Perforce Source Control on a substituted drive

    Hello all,
    I am wrestling my way through using perforce as an integrated source control package in Labview.
    The path has many potholes but seems possible.
    My latest challenge:
    Substituted Paths.
    In a professional source control environment there are many users with many views/workspaces and it is good proactice for each one to have a unique name [user][machine][branchname][myprojectstructure]
    Labview is notorious for requiring fixed, absolute paths due to the way .vi's remember their callers, my previous practice using IBM/Rational clearcase was to substitue ("subst B: ." ) the project root [myprojectstructure] to another drive, say B: for example.  This makes Labview is happy as the paths are now fixed, the developer is happy as they don't have to check out a miriad of files.
    This practice is widespread in the embedded software development world and isn't exactly innovative.
    Perforce
    Clearcase integrated into Labview works seamlessly, you just point the path to the substituted drive and all is well.
    Perforce, not so much.
    The setup options within labview whilst being intuitive and easy to use, don't appear allow this method.
    Does anyone know how to do the equivalent in Perforce?
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks John,
    I will see if this works
    I hadn't thought about substituting the drive first and then populating the workspace.
    I can see that this implimentation requires discipline,
    There is a significant danger of refreshing the wrong workspace and trashing modified files.

  • Can teamcenter community be used for source control?

    I have this new tool called teamcenter community and I'm trying to see how well it will work with source control for labview. I haven't learned how to use it fully yet, but when I try to open a vi get the error message:
    The document could not be opened for editing. A windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
    I'm using 8.5. Is this a feature that was added to a more recent environment.
    Is this feature a possiblity? So far I've been able to use it to manage file, but haven't had success with folders.

    Steve:
    Unfortunately, teamcenter isn't supported in LabVIEW (past or present). A full list of supported clients is located in this KB. While it may be possible to use other clients, there hasn't been any testing done with them, so they may very well not work with LabVIEW.

  • How to use a 3rd party source control tool with RoboHelp?

    Hello,
    I would like to set our RoboHelp users up with source control.  They are using RoboHelp HTML 8.0.
    Our software developers are using the AccuRev scm system; I'd like the doc team to use AccuRev, too.
    Can someone direct me to RoboHelp documentation that explains how to set up and use a 3rd party scm system with RoboHelp?
    Thank you,
    Marilyn

    It appears that RoboHelp 7 only sees the first SCC provider listed in the Windows Registry and ignores the rest. I was able to get RoboHelp to display the File | Version Control menu for SourceGear Vault by setting the following two Registry keys and removing keys for other SCC providers (SourceSafe, Surround SCM, and others I am evaluating).
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider
         ProviderRegKey = \Software\SourceGear\Vault Client
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
         SourceGear Vault VS2003 Compatible Client = SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client
    If I create a new RoboHelp project, save it, then select File | Version Control | Add to Version Control, RoboHelp does the following:
         - pops up the Select Version Control Provider dialog and displays SourceGear Vault Classic Client.
         - I select that, check "Make this my default selection" checkbox, and click OK.
         - RoboHelp crashes.
    I'm using SourceGear Vault 5.02 under Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. A search of the SourceGear Vault knowledge base reveals that they do not support RoboHelp because of its incorrect behavior and instability. It's so sad that RoboHelp can't work properly with industry standard SCC providers. Vault is by far the best SourceSafe replacement out there, and very affordable.

  • Steps to export B2B Project and Source Control.

    Hi,
    I need steps to export a B2B project for source controlling it and deploying the code to higher environments.
    Right now the coding is done in DEV , We want to push it to TEST.
    Thanks for all the help.
    Regards,
    Sid.

    Documents which we have created newly will also be exported, provided it is part of the agreement.

    First time all "export-import". Every change - incremental export and import
