External Version Control usage with SAP

Hi,
I am trying to get info on configuring an external version control tool to use with SAP. I am aware of Version Management that is provided by SAP as part of Workbench Organizer and DTR for NetWeaver Developer Studio (for Java programs). However, my requirement is, to configure an external versioning system which can maintain the different versions of the source outside SAP system(not within the SAP repository). This is necessary to recover the system even in case of SAP system crashes also.
Please let me know if we can integrate any Version Control Software like Perforce or CVS to use with SAP. I like to store ABAP programs, ABAP Data Dictionary objects etc. in it. Please point me to a useful document or resource which explains this in detail (if one is available).
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Thanks for your feedback Nico and Carsten. The feedback on snapshots is very relevant and the sort of feedback that I was looking for.
I will continue looking at external version control, but at the same time look at snapshots. For example, when doing a checkin operation to checkin to external version control, my script may be able to automatically create a signature snapshot of the object at the same time. Please let me know if, for some reason, that won't be feasible.
Thanks,
Gavin

Hello, I want to use version controlling software with Labwindows.

Hello All.
I want to use version controlling tool with Labwindows/CVI. Actually version controlling tools work for text files and by using the tool i can do version controlling of my .c and .h files in Labwindows/CVI project. But is there a way to do version controlling of .uir files also. Version control tool can detect the changes made in .uir file but is there any tool that can be used to compare and merge .uir files too just like text files operation for version controlling.
Regards

Hello Moshi,
Personally I never understood how the integrated version control system of
CVI works, but SVN (and TortoiseSVN) works fine with CVI projects.
UIR files are treated as binary, as they should be, and that's about all.
You could put the .tui file under version control instead, but I don't think
it's worth the bother.

SOAP Response Version Mismatch error with SAP web service

My company just recently upgraded to SAP CRM 7.
The old way of creating web services in SAP worked fine, but now, there is something a bit off with SAP. When I call the web service the send returns a Fault Event with the error : SOAP Response Version Mismatch
I had a simple web service created with only 1 text input and 1 text output to make sure that it wasn't the parameters or return type. I got the same error.
Searching on the forum or the web hasn't provided with any good answer to the issue.
Any thoughts on this?

External product catalog integration with SAP CRM

Hi Forum,
I want to integrate a third party Java based product catalog with SAP CRM.
Currently, ISA is being used as the front-end.The CRM has a product catalog which is being used.
In place of this I want to add an external product catalog.
This is for a B2C shopping website. The user will browse through the external catalog and the selected products should be added to the shopping basket of ISA.
I'm aware that the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) is used for this purpose in B2B using SRM server.
Is there a similar interface for B2C applications?
Aditya Karajgi

Hi Pratik,
I dont think you understood my question.
What I want to implement is something like Open Catalog Interface (OCI) which is used in B2B implementations.
The catalog will be created by an open source content management system.
Product categories will be created and maintained using this system.
Users will browse the catalog and select products.
These selected products will be added to the shopping basket in Webshop.
We dont want to get into the complexities of using JCo or IDocs for this.
There should be some interface which is similar to OCI for B2C applications.
Thanks and waiting for ur response.
Aditya

Version Control integration with SVN

We want to implement Version Control integration for Siebel Tools with Subversion (SVN).
After an informal chat with a consultant from Oracle, we got the reply like: Test, and see if it works.
Now for my question, does anyone know a project where they used SVN as the version control tool in a Siebel project?

Building version control features with CF

Hi,
I have a client with a wiki that I built in ColdFusion, and they'd like to be able to do collaborative document editing where changes to documents are tracked. I've seen this type of thing in Word, where changes get highlighted and you can see old and new text. I don't think it needs to be that fancy in terms of how changes are shown, since they're just using CKEditor to enter content, but they would need to be able to see what was changed, when and by whom (currently logged in user). I would make the documents in their final form downloadable as PDFs.
Anyone know of any version tracking type applications built in CF? Looking for code i.e. a CFC that I can re-use. Also curious how this sort of thing gets saved in a database, currently I just update the existing document record, but with version tracking each time an edit is done do I have to re-save the entire document as a new record? That could eventually eat up a lot of space in the database, but the alternative is just saving the changes to the document and that seems overly complicated--I'm not even sure how it would be accomplished.
Thanks,
Chris

For 10.1.2 the process is explained here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/gettingstartedwithcvs.pdf
In 10.1.3 it is more automatic - JDeveloper automatically recognize files which are candidate for adding to CVS.

Version Control with JDeveloper application using ClearCase

My team is evaluating J Developer to see if
it matchs our requirement. We want
to know how we will be able to use Clearcase
as version control tool with our Java or JSP application developed using JDeveloper.
We understand that J Developer will help us
to create a zip file for deployment. Do we need to check in/out that zip file, zip/unzip the zip file, look for the file
that we want to change, and then make change to it?
If so how Clear Case knows which files in that zip file has been changed and what changes have been made?
Currently, we use Clearcase to check in/out
every single file, one at a time. We don't know how it will work with a zip file.
Sincerely,
Khanh

Alex,
There are two parts to this answer.
You can hook up any version control system
to JDeveloper using various JDeveloper
extension mechanisms including adding items
to the tools menu or complete wizards.
On OTN, you can find an CustomAddins which provides a way to integrate to any version control system by editing some batch files to point to their "put" and "get" type tools. This is meant as a simple starting point.
Starting with JDeveloper 3.2, you will be able to take advantage of the intergrated source control feature that integrates Oracle Repository's source control features into JDeveloper.
I hope this helps,
-John

Version Control question related to Visual SourceSafe.

I have a RoboHELP HTML (RH) project that is set up for
version control with Visual Source Safe (VSS). Now I need to create
a copy of this project and set up version control for it as well. I
tried copying the RH files and adding the copy to VSS. But when I
open the XPJ file from the copied folder, it still has references
to the version controlled original folder.
There are a lot of files in the copied folder that has
references to the original VSS location. How do I make this copied
project a self-containing version-controlled project with no
references to the original?
Thanks,
K

Hi Rick:
Tried the link to the aricle on RobWizard. It works sort-of,
however, I noticed that two files (eHlpDhtm.js and gg_sdk.pss) not
mentioned in that article have references to the old version
control information. What are these two files used for?
So far, it's working fine for me, but not for my colleagues
who are accessing this copied project. They all have gotten the
latest files from VSS on their machine. But the Getting Files
dialog box seems to be getting files from the old version control
location as well. Now my colleagues do not have modify privileges
to this old location at all. So when they try to edit a topic in
the new copy in the new version control location, RH gives an error
that says they don't have access rights to the old version control
location. Why should this happen since the copy of the project is
supposed to now only be aware of the new version control location.
Also, RH also says that is cannot check out the XPJ file from the
new version control location since exculsive privilege is required.
This is weird since the XPJ file is not checked out at all.
Any thoughts? Would the two files (eHlpDhtm.js and
gg_sdk.pss) mentioned in the first paragraph be cuasing this? Those
two files are the only ones in the copied project that have
information about the old version control location.
Thanks,
K

SCM and Forms Builder version control

Hi,
I would like to start using Oracle 10g SCM repository with Forms builder for version control. The idea would be that the forms developers do not use Repository Object Navigator.
I read from the instructions that Oracle9i Forms Developer requires the .fmb and other associated files to be located on an accessible disk, i.e. outside of the Oracle9i SCM repository. Thus to edit a .fmb file it must first be downloaded to a file system. That means that the developer needs to use RON. Is that really so? What is the reason for that?
When I was testing the version control functionality with Forms Builder I realized that the users cannot easily determine if a file is checked in or our unless they use RON or try to perform the action (i.e. check in or out). Is there any other solution for this?
Thanks,
Tomi

Hi user574160
Subversion is seen as the natural successor of CVS, and so is a natural choice for many development sites out there.
Note you should have a look at the following Re: Configuration Management in Forms 6i regards Subversion locking to ensure the integrity of your binary forms files.
In turn the Subversion Book under section 3 Locking gives a good explanation of protecting binary files.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
CM.

Version control for word processing

Hi, all.
I've never used any kind of version control system (like git or cvs or anything), but know I think that I have a use for one.
Basically, my point is that I write documents mostly in markdown/xhtml (perhaps I'll start using LaTeX one day, but that's another story), so I only use a text editor and not a word processor. So I think that a simple revision control solution would provide me with a feature that many word processors have: the ability to track all changes and revert to any past state of the document.
So what would you suggest? Something simple, lightweight and smart. I'm not gonna use it for coding, or even publish it anywhere, so my requirements are rather humble.

The only problem with using a version control system with a text editor is that you have to either set it up to commit automatically on every save and every few minutes. Word processors especially docs.google.com are very good about saving revisions for you.
So look at the DVCS list here and pick one (mercurial, git, and bazaar are the more popular ones) and think of a good system for auto-committing. The day you realize you forgot to commit a version before a major change you will kick yourself for not having a good system in place.

Jdev support with PVCS Version control system

Hi,
Is there any JDev plugin available for PVCS source control system.
We have to use PVCS version control system for our SOA composites. If there is no plugin available, what is the approach commonly used for these scenarios.
Thanks for your response.

Which JDev version do you use?
AFAIK there is no extension for PVCS available for 11g (check http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/131167.xml).
Anyway if you have an external tool which lets you work with PVCS you can use it outside of jdev without a problem. Depending on the interface you might be able to do some kind of integration into jdev using the 'External Tools...' interface.
