CM Tool for Forte

Hello all,
We are in the process of evaluating software Configuration
Management tool, named Perforce. We are exploring the possibility of using
it for Forte based projects too. Is anyone out there have currently using
this tool with Forte, or have any experience with the possibility of using
any CM tool with Forte development.
Any input in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charu.

Text based configuration management
Scripts to export/import
Repository creation tools from frozen source set (taken out of CM)
And policies to force users to checkout a full plan (for locking reasons)
when having to change a single class.
There's still the issue where stuff is checked out in CM and as well
in the workshop => inconsistency risk
Cheers,
j-paul

Hi,
Just Curious to know how everybody are maintaining different
versions of the
Forte project.
Forte itself provides us with the Team development and cross platform
development features. All we need is Version Controlling.
I presume we wont be maintaining different versions of each
"Forte Project"
in the Version Control.( A Project in Forte will definitely contain more
than 1 Forte Project). If we do this, we need to maintain a chart
of which
version of Forte Project works with another Forte Project and it is messy.
The other way is to baseline the Development Repository itself in the
Version Control. This works fine. But once the repository starts
growing, I
am not sure of the version control software handling GB sized files.
Any IDEAS?
Thanx
Krishna

  • RE: Test automation tools for Forte applications

    Mark,
    There is a basic automated testing program already
    supplied by Forte in the examples. It is called
    AutoTest.Pex. It records events and can replay them.
    It can be a bit tricky and is a bit basic, but
    may have some of the functionality that you want.
    This is specifically for window / widget testing.
    Hope this helps,

    There is also TestComplete by AutomatedQA but it is of
    limited usage because it is not mx.automation aware and in many
    difficult cases reverts to dumb mouse X,Y recording.
    And there is the upcoming RIATest that will be specifically
    designed for Flex using mx.automation. Here is the site:

  • Reporting tools/components for Forte Applications?

    Hi all,
    We are looking for what is currently in the marketplace to enhance the reporting
    capabilities of Forte. Ideally, we are looking for component libraries that we
    could import into our repository. Do these exist?
    Currently, I have found six reporting tools that are out there. The tools
    are Actuate, Crystal Reports, Report Workshop from Indus Consultancy
    Services, Brio Technologies (SQR) VisualBRIO, Visual CyberQuery from
    Cyberscience Corp., and Beacon from Brahma Software Solutions FORTify
    Components. Are there any others for Forte?
    If anyone is currently using one of these Reporting Tools for Forte or any
    others, could you give me any indications as to the costs, training, type of
    application using the Reporting tool, would you recommend using the product
    again, does it use wrappering or API, or is it a component based tool, and any
    other relevant information on the product?

    Probably will have two databases, one for real-time data and another one for
    archived data. Probably will need reporting functionality and capabilities for
    both real-time data and archived data.

  • RAD tools for JSP apps with GUI editor?

    Hi,
    Could anybody recommend a RAD tool for JSP-based development with an integrated GUI page editor and HTML, JSP and JavaBeans/J2EE Java code generation?
    Should be usable by (trained) business analysts, so tools heavily based on UML are not exactly what I'm looking for.
    I need to develop a small "white label"-style generic web application for a few business processes, then let business users/analysts modify and deploy it.
    Thanks,

  • Dbx for Forte Developer 6 on SunOS 5.10 suddenly stopped working

    I know this is the forum for Sun Studio but it was the closest I could find to answer the question. If there is one for Forte Developer, please point me to that.
    The problem I have is that last week dbx suddenly stopped working for me. I would try to lauch it and it would just hang and be unable to be killed with kill -9.
    I've asked my sys admins to look into the issue but haven't gotten a response yet so I thought I'd try here.
    I have some truss output but I can't post it here because of length issues. If somebody wants it, I can send it to them.
    Thanks,
    Madison

    Forte Developer 6 is part of the Sun Studio family, so you have found the right forum. :-)
    FD6 is End Of Service Life, and no support has been available for it since 2006.
    In addition, it is not supported for use on Solaris 10. If it was working previously, it was only by accident.
    You should get Sun Studio 12, the current release, or wait a few weeks and get Sun Studio 12 udpate 1. It is free for all uses, does not use a runtime license (only a license agreement), supports modern hardware and operating systems, compiles faster, produces code that runs faster, has much better support for C++ (and supports C99), has a greatly improved debugger and has other new development tools.
    You can get the current Sun Studio here:
    [http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/]
    ... and the current patches for it here:

    Subject: RE: Anyone using Select Enterprise for Forte?
    We were Select customers for a year and have switched to Rose. Select was
    both a buggy tool and a buggier company! Their upgrade to V6 completely
    changed the server requirements, pulling the rug out from under our feet.
    Features we were promised were not in the releases we were sent...
    Rose has been a godsend; the product has it's shortcomings but it is a level
    above Select in both functionality & robustness.
    The 3 times I've had to contact Rational tech support, they've been able to
    provide me with a solution. Select's tech support were unable to get their own
    product to work as advertised. ---Raymond
    We have been using Select for over 2 years but have kept a watchful eye on
    Rationals offering.
    They seem to leap frog each other and have various pros and cons. My
    personal bias is currently towards Rational Rose but you'll have to choose
    based upon your own needs.
    If you let me know what you need I can let you know what I think each tool
    offers.

  • Java-based Client for Forte/IIOP

    My project is evaluating tools to build the next version of order
    entry/production management system. The first version is written entirely
    in Forte.
    We are considering 3 options for the client:
    1.Visual J++/ORBIX COMet (WFC widgets)
    2. Visual Cafe / ORBIX for Java (Swing Widgets)
    3. GOFC (Good old Forte Client)
    The back-end will probably remain Forte/Oracle on Solaris.
    If anyone has experience with these tools I would like to hear from you.
    I've tried J++/WFC last week and it seems to be solid. I am curious if
    Swing is ready for prime time.

    Sean,
    My worry is that Swing, while eloquently designed, represents an attempt to
    write a totally new display system which, at least in the case of my
    project, will run on top of Windows. I really like the Java (or a Java-like
    i.e. J++) language, but I feel safer using the native MS widgets. It does
    not seem that anyone on this forum has used Swing extensively and can
    testify to its stability and performance.
    Regards,
    David

  • Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

    I've had a couple of DVD's  turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
    I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
    I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
    I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
    Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
    [ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    [ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
    [ 5758.353016] ISOFS: File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1472).

    [ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
    Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
    - Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
    Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?
    -- Thanks in advance --

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

  • Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.  I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop.  Just an iMac.  Nothing to share the data with.
    Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer.  The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word.  One is a macro enabled word doc.   I am using os x mountain lion.
    After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved.  I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week.  Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with  contacts and documents.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this?  I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Phyllis

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
    Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data?
    I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.
