Connecting to CVS

We are attempting to connect JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 on laptops to CVSNT on a Windows 2000 server.
The CVSNT software is installed on the server. Accounts and a repository have been created. Connecting to it has been tested from the server using the cvs sserver and pserver utilities. All successful.
We have attempted to connect to it using the relevant port from Jdeveloper, using the preinstalled CVS client. The wizard runs us through the process but upon testing the connection we get the message 'Connection test failed: Unable to connect'.
Installing CVSNT on the client, running as a service does work and a connection can be made. This suggests we understand what the wizard is asking, but local version control does not meet our requirement.
We were thinking it must be a port issue that is stopping communication although no such error messages were being reported. The ports were duly opened but still no joy.
Has someone else had the same problem and got round it? Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your help in this matter.
I have done more investigating.
Using CVSNet commands on the client (outside of Jdeveloper), it is possible to connect to the server and complete a listing of the repository directory on the server (very encouraging).
Running netstat on the server indicates port 2401 is open and listening.
Attempting to create a CVS Connection in Jdeveloper brings back the error message: -
''Connection test failed: unable to connect'.
This seems to confirm that the ports are OK and that I am being tripped up by JDeveloper.
Do you or anybody else have further ideas. They would be very welcome?
Thanks in advance.

  • Can't connect any CVS server

    I can't connect any CVS server. every server i tried to download from , for example, when I compile from aur or abs I get "Connection timed out.
    even in arch CVS:
    $ sudo abs
    Password:
    Cannot connect to cvs.archlinux.org: Connection timed out

    I'm sure that I'm connected to the web.
    How can I check the CVS port? I don't use firewall.

  • Reading status of camera's connected to CVS

    i have 3 cameras connected to 1 CVS.I want to read the status of the cameras whether they are healthy or not and also the CVS status to display in PC at remote location. So, how i can access(read) this data from the CVS into the labview software to generate fault message or output as alarm. please suggest us the solution.

    When using LabVIEW RT all VIs are targeted to the CVS and executed by the RT Engine. The RT Development System (your remote PC) displays the front panel of the VI while the RT Engine executes the block diagram code. Therefore, to determine if the cameras connected to your CVS are "healthy", check for acquisition errors from the cameras (such as a timeout error) in the VI running on the CVS, and then illuminate an LED or display a message on the front panel of the remote PC if an error occurs.
    You could also use something called a watchdog timer to monitor software on the CVS and to take action if the software is not responding. The watchdog timer is described in more detail on page 4-10 of the Compact Vision System User Manual and in the tutorials below:
    NI 1450 Series Compact Vision System User Manual
    Developer Zone Tutorial: Software Watch-Dog Timers
    Developer Zone Tutorial: Using a Hardware or Software Watchdog in a Real-Time Application

  • CVS Versioning unable to connect in SQL Developer 2.1

    I just upgraded to SQL developer 2.1 from 1.5. I did the check for updates and the CVS Versioning that gets installed is version 11.1.1.2.36.49.42 For some reason this version will not let me connect through ssh to CVS. I double checked the connection and the test of it fails. The CVS versioning in SQL developer 1.5 worked fine (11.1.1.0.22.49.42). is there any way to use SQL developer 2.1 with CVS Versioning 11.1.1.0.22.49.42??

    I am having this same issue, with slightly different versions and on two different computers. I have SQL Developer 1.5 on WinXP running cvs version 11.1.1.0.22.49.44. Connections to CVS via ssh work fine. I installed SQL Developer 2.1 on a new machine with Win 7. I had to check for updates becuase CVS versioning was missing from this release. The update gave me cvs version 11.1.1.2.36.55.30. I set up a CVS connection and the test failed. I tried exporting the connections - didn't work. I also tried pasting in the cvs_connect.xml file from the old computer to the new one - that also did not work.
    Is there any resolution for this issue? Or a work around?

  • Jdeveloper 10.1.3 CVS connection problems

    Hi,
    I'm the first one to admit my company has a 'special' way of connecting to CVS.
    However, Eclipse managed it fine by asking about generating keys or something (this was a while ago).
    Can't seem to get a connection working in JDeveloper. Would be grateful if someone could outline how it works for me.
    Here's my cvs connection string from Eclipse:
    :extssh:[email protected]:/Software-repository/IAC/Working
    Thanks
    Rakesh

    okay, so just how did you get it working? because i can't!
    Testing connection...
    Unknown method (`extssh') in CVSROOT.
    Bad CVSROOT: `:extssh:[email protected]:/net/cvsroot'.
    CVSROOT variable for the operation is invalid (:extssh:[email protected]:/net/cvsroot).
    Connection test failed: unable to connect.
    what's your secret?

  • New CVS connection option  grayed out

    Fresh install of Jdev 10.1.2 (Windows). CVS server running with pserver connection. CVS set as source control in jDev (Extensions -> General -> Versin Control).
    On Connection tab, if I Rt. Click on CVS Server, I can see the "New CVS connection" opion, but it's grayed out.
    Any ideas?

    My guess is that you don't have a cvs client in your path. So if you typed cvs on the command line it would return the 'not recognized...' message. JDeveloper didn't get a built in cvs client until 10.1.3.
    If you make sure that cvs, preferably a CVSNT version, is in the path then the option will become enabled.

  • Help needed in setting up CVS / wincvs

    Please help me in configuring CVS / wincvs. Iam tryinf to install CVS and WINCVS both on my win2000 machine.
    I have done until here:
    1) downloaded cvs.tar.gz file and opened up the file at:
    C:\CVS\MyCvs\cvs-1.12.1
    2) downloaded "wincvs", opened the file at:
    C:\CVS\My-Win-Cvs\WinCvs120
    and then installed it here:
    C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.2
    3) Created a folders called master for "repository" purpose and in here:
    C:\src\master
    4) Created a folder called for each of the projects for the purpose as "work" area.
    C:\CVS-Projects\Project1
    I will create Project2, Project3..... as i keep adding Projects. But for the time being ...i have only ONE project as Project1.
    5) Then opened up the WINCVS browser window and went to Admin > Preferences:
    a) Tab General looks something like:

  • How to use CVS with JDeveloper

    Hi all!
    I'm starting a new project and I would like to know how to use CVS with JDeveloper. This is my first project where I will have two more people working with me and I don't know what the better approach is. Should I use CVS that come with JDeveloper (option Internal to Oracle JDeveloper 10g) or should I configure an external repository? In both cases, I don't know what I have to do to have CVS working properly with JDeveloper. Actually I tried to create a new CVS connection in CVS navigator (using the access method Password Server), but when I test I receive the message: Could not open connection to CVS server: general socket failure, sure I must doing something wrong.
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for you help John!
    I installed cvsnt and when I try to create a new CVS connection inside JDeveloper I receive the message: authorization failed: server adminf29786.dixamico.com.br rejected access to /Diversos/DownLoad/CVS/usr/local/cvsroot for user JMartins
    I using pserver method and JMartins is my user in windows
    There is something that I'm curious about, when I was installing CVSNT I didn't configure any user and password, is there any default user/password?
    Thanks!

  • Working with CVS and Java Studio Creator 2

    Hello,
    I'm a new user of java studio creator and I would like to make a project using ths CVS.
    First, I've installed a CVS server on a computer.
    Then I've created a new project (an example included with JSC)
    Then I've customized the version manager in JSC 2 to connect to the remote CVS server.
    No problem, if I try to connect to CVS in the version manager, it work ("You are connected").
    On the other hand, when I want to check out my project on the CVS (the first check out), I've got this error :
    cvs server: connect to 82.252.252.173(82.252.252.173):2402 failed: Une tentative de connexion a �chou� car le parti connect� n'a pas r�pondu convenablement au-del� d'une certaine dur�e ou une connexion �tablie a �chou� car l'h�te de connexion n'a pas r�pondu.
    cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't connect to lock server
    Have you got an idea on the configuration error I've done (no solution found in the articles nor faq)?
    Thanks in advance
    Nicolas

    Hello,
    You can see checked out files when you use the Versioning Manager. Just expand the tree to see individual files and folders. It's always a good idea to do an update before you start editing a file in Studio Creator. The Merge Conflict Resolver is a a very useful tool when more than one developer is working on a file.
    You can find a lot more about version control in the IDE's help files.
    And by the way, your English is fine.

  • Workshop 8.1 useless with CVS

    Hi all,
    Workshop never works with CVS for me.
    The CVS server is installed in Win 2000 machine. And it works fine when I do
    CVS operations from other clients like
    Inspite of asking BEA for many times, I could not solve the problem of
    connecting to CVS NT Server.
    SP2 also does not fixes the problem of connecting.
    The error that I am getting is like this
    cvs update: unknown method in CVSroot:
    :ntserver:bkarthi@ets4218:F\\Aretail\\RepositoryCVS when I do any CVS
    operation.
    I know that the problem is in the CVSROOT.
    Any body please tell me how can i connect to CVS NT Server means
    provide me the correct CVSROOT for NT server which works with Workshop 8.1.
    Also opened a case with BEA, a month ago but still no solution.
    Thanks,
    Karthi.

    Hi all,
    I came to know that the problem is the version of the CVSNT and cvs.exe that is available to Workshop through the environmental variable.
    It is mandatory that we have to add cvs.exe to OS PATH. So that the workshop will launch this process.
    This will solve the problem of create process.
    But with problems that I faced, I understand that workshop is specific to particular version of "cvs.exe"
    Now, I am able to access the CVS server from workshop but not with "ntserver" protocol. I am using "sspi" protocol.
    I tried with "pserver" too, it works fine.
    So I need to know which version of "cvs.exe", the developers are suppose to use.
    Points to remember while configuring workshop with CVS.
    1. correct "cvs.exe" should be in the PATH variable
    2. Don't use "ntserver" protocol.
    3. Use "pserver" or "sspi" ( I tested both. Works fine )
    4. "pserver" protocol requires that the user should be logged in before doing a cvs operation.
    5. To be functional , cvs module should be imported and check out before opening workshop. There is no built in method to import and check out from Workshop.
    6. If want to customize workshop with cvs commands, CVSROOT variable should be defined before you launch the Workshop.
    Thanks,
    Karthi.

  • Eclipse not showing the directory structure from CVS repository.

    On my eclipse, when I click on the CVS repository perspective. I don�t see names of the module under �HEAD�. I mean I don�t see the directories. I can�t see what modules are there.
    This functionality was always working and all of sudden it stopped working.
    I think I am connected to CVS, as I am able to update and compare the projects.
    To solve this issue I discarded the cvs location and created it once more. Have also restarted the eclipse. But doesn�t help.
    Can anyone let me know how to get this tree structure back?

    I am sure someone could, but you'd need to ask them. Posting this question in this forum or even this site seems highly suboptimal. What does the java compiler have to do with your problem? An eclipse forum would seem more appropriate, and maybe a cvs forum but you'd need to use the cvs command line tools to determine whether it was eclipse or cvs.
    Anyway, as a first step I think you should start with [How to ask questions the smart way|http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]

  • NW DS - deleting project from CVS

    Hallo,
    I got a question. It's possible to remove shared project from CVS repository? How can I do that? And what about deleting specific files? Thanks for any help.
    Best regards,
    J. Motl

    Hi Josef,
    I only administer cvsnt, so I can explain it for Linux only very roughly... Deleting projects under a repository as well es single files should be done by just deleting the dir tree / the file.
    For deleting a repository first you have to "delete" it via CVS Service Control Panel (so delete the connection between CVS and a certain dir as repository so far) and aftwerwards delete the dir tree on the file system.
    For CVS stores the version info within the file ("*.ext,v"), deleting this deletes also the version info.
    Hope it helps
