Labview cvs integration - documented?

Hi.
Is there any documentiton on using CVS with Labview? The try-and-fail approach hasn't proven usable in this case so some tutorial and/or full documentation would be appriciated.

If you look at Jim Kring's reply in this thread # , he posts a link to Turtois CVS. They provide general documentation.
I've used CVS many years ago. Many things have probably changed since then.
You may also want to look at this thread.
Which LV package do you have? To use source control from within LV, you will need the Professional or Developer Suite versions, which support it. In that case, have a look at this thread.
However, if you follow the instructions from the CVS guide (downloaded from source control website), you can configure it for binary file storage and it should work, with a bit of tuning and patience.
Here's a list of source control sw supported by LV8.x:
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
Microsoft Team System
Perforce
Rational ClearCase
PCVS (Serena) Version Manager
MKS Source Integrity
PushOK CVS
PushOK SVN
Seapine Surround SCM
Borland StarTeam
Telelogic Synergy
ionForge Evolution

CVS Integration in JWS8

I'm running JSW8 and trying to get it integrated with CVS.
I've set up CVS and tested it in command mode to confirm it's working.
I then started JWS8 and created a Versioning Manager, pointing it at my CVS repository. I then clicked "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Init Local Repository" and the command ran successfully.
I then created an "index.html" file in the Web Pages folder.
I'm now trying to check in this file, but cannot see a way to do it. According to the documentation, when I'm in File view and I right click on the "index.html" file, the popup menu should include a "CVS" -> "Add" option. However, no "CVS" option appears in the popup menu.
If I go to the "Versioning" -> "CVS" menu, there is a "check out" option, but no "check in" option.
Has anyone been able to get CVS integrated with JWS8?
If so, is there a simple step (or steps) that I've missed?

Thanks for the advice. I've now got CVS integrated with JWS8.
Coming from the Eclipse and Websphere world, I have to say that setting up CVS in JWS8 is a bit more difficult and not as intuative...
Here's how it's done:
1. Create a project. Choose your project folder. (ex. "c:\myProject")
2. Create a new, empty folder to be used as the repository. (ex. "C:\myProject_rep")
3. In your CVS server, create a new entry, and point it to the repository folder (ex. "/cvs_myProject" --> "c:\myProject_rep")
4. Choose "Versioning" -> "Versioning Manager" and create a new CVS versioning manager, using the CVS path (ex. "/cvs_myProject").
5. If your CVS server does not initialize the repository by default, click on the "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Init Local Repository" and initialize the repository.
6. Choose "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Import", and do a CVS 'import' to bring the project folder into CVS. (ex. import "c:\myProject" into "/cvs_myProject")
* If you check the "Perform Checkout After Import" box, all your files will be checked out.
* If you leave this box blank, you'll need to manually check your files. This can be done by right-clicking the file name, and from the popup menu, choose "CVS" -> "Add" to add the file to CVS version control the first time, then doing a "CVS" -> "Commit".
7. You can now perform CVS functions on any file in the project by right-clicking on it, and choosing "CVS" from the popup menu.

11g: CVS integration crashes CVSNT

Hi!
When I turn on CVS integration and switch it to external CVS, then whenever I open the History tab of a file and select a CVS revision I get a crash dump dialog from CVS.
Same happens when I browse the repository and double-click a file in the repository navigator.
CVS Version (External)     (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (client/server)
Versioning Support     oracle.jdeveloper.vcs     11.1.1.0.31.51.56     Loaded
Versioning Support for CVS     oracle.jdeveloper.cvs     11.1.1.0.31.51.56     Loaded
I cannot switch to the internal CVS since we're using SSPI.
Is that problem known and is there a workaround?
Sascha

Hi!
Arthur Barrett from March Hare replied in the CVSNT mailing list.
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2008-October/031366.html
I did what he requested. I downloaded a copy of Zen RC9 and it crashed in the same way. I created client comm traces as requested and sent them to March Hare.
Let me point out again, that we all have vanilla copies of Scorpio on our machines. I only installed Zen RC8 and RC9 to see if the problem still exists with these versions.
I downloaded the PDB files for Scorpio and received the (now correct?) stack trace:
Function     Arg 1     Arg 2     Arg 3   Source

kernel32!BaseProcessStart+23     0048f058     00000000     78746341    That was also sent to March Hare. Later, I will send the crash dump file of Zen RC9 to March Hare. The file is too large to do it now.
I couldn't download the PDB files for Zen (because there are none) but I assume that the crash trace will look the same.
I also unzipped a vanilla copy of JDev10.1.3.4 and CVSNT works well with that version (as reported by tilemahos). No problems opening a file from the CVS Navigator.
That strongly suggests that there is something wrong in JDev11, don't you think?

JDeveloper assumptions and CVS integration

It looks to me when I'm in Jdeveloper using CVS and I say 'Commit Project folders' or 'Update Project Folders' that Jdeveloper is selecting only the folders that are below the folder the .jpr is in not the folders that are actually in the project. Frankly, we do not want to store the .jprs in cvs overtop of the source tree. We have a single source tree and use cvs to split it up for particular projects see certain sections the whole thing is not under JDevelopers .jpr. How can I make JDeveloper CVS integration recognize that there are other folders that are peers to the folder the jpr is in? It looks to me like I have to now select all files in the System Navigator and do the update or commit or do it outside JDev.
ANy ideas?

Wouldn't this be a question to ask on a ADE forum (if there is one)?
Or you give more info about what you are talking about. Google tells me that ADE is 'Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE)' but I guess this is not what you meant.

CVS Integration with JDeveloper 10.1.2

I have upgraded to JDeveloper 10.1.2 from the previous version and CVS integration appears to be partially broken.
All my source files are checked in and I can confirm this with WinCVS which allows me to 'cvs edit' my source for update. In JDeveloper however the 'Edit' option is grayed out and I cannot edit the file as it is read only. All the source icons have a * symbol against them.
CVS integration worked OK in the previous version and the only environment change is the upgrade to JDeveloper 10.1.2
I wondered if anyone else had experienced any similar problems.
Thanks,
Kim

We have also experienced this problem. The pattern seems to stem from a Module Checkout (We use the connections tab to a remote pserver repository).
Expanding a project will mark all files with the * (modified) symbol. Even though we only just checked out the module.
If we try and Update (or Update with deletion) the item remains on the uncommitted files list, however the background cvs command worked without error (at this point there is no way of removing files from the uncommitted file list).
Additionally if we use ANT and create a new task like follows;
<target name="CVS fake update MyProject quiet">
<cvs command="-n update -R"
cvsRoot="${cvsroot}"
package="MyProject"
/>
</target>
Then this reports all workfiles up to date with the repository (i.e. only a problem in what JDeveloper thinks is uncommited).
What I have noticed....
When the Module Checkout works I noticed the file named JDev under the CVS working folder looks as follows;
#Fri Apr 01 06:33:52 GMT 2005
universal_time_calibration=0
When it fails the content looks like this;
#Fri Apr 15 06:33:52 GMT 2005
universal_time_calibration=-3600000
(I suspect at some point it is getting this offset from my Windows settings - Australia GMT + 10hrs).
By fail I mean
Hope this information is of use to someone at Oracle.

11g R2 OES - OAM Integration Documentation Link

Hi,
Can some one post the link for OES and OAM 11g R2 integration Documentation?
Thanks in Advance,
Sandy.

11gR1 was using OES already for its policies so in this regard, nothing much has changed for R2 with respect to how they integrate. However, there is a big difference in that in R1, OAM had an embedded OES based on OES10g wheras OAM in R2 is using OES11g. This means you get more control of OES via the apm and other interfaces.

URGENT: Cvs Integration

Hi,
I am currently struggling with the CVS integration within JDeveloper 9.0.3. Maybe anyone can help ;-)
My configuration:
JDeveloper is installed on a W2k worstation, the cvs server resists on a linux server. We currently use the cvs client "Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 57j) (client/server)" provided by cvsnt.org, those folder path is listed in the environment variable PATH.
We must use SSH for the connect to the CVS server on the linux machine. Therefore, we configured an external locator which is ssh2.
We successfully established a connection via WinCVS and SSH to our CVS server.
We have been working on integration of JDeveloper with CVS since a few days - with little success. When JDeveloper starts we receive the typical CVS message pane, and the source control entry within the context menu is also available - by this means JDeveloper could successfully access the CVS client. When we try to create a CVS connection we run into some issues. We set the external locator to ssh2.exe with the remote server program cvs.
We also set the configuration parameters properly for our connection, so that our CVSROOT variable seems to be ok (real names replaced by placeholders):
:ext:<<username>>@<<ourCVSServer>>:/usr/local/cvs.
But when we try to make a test connection then the following issue occurs:
1. The external shell pops up where we enter the password
2. one or two seconds delay
3. Error message in wizard: Connection test failed: unable to connect.
I don't have any clue how to solve this.
My questions:
- Did anyone get connected to a CVS on linux machine via SSH within JDeveloper?
- if yes, how did you do this?
- what am I doing wrong?
I appreciate every hint or installation step procedure.
Regards,
Stefan

Features I would like to see in LabView to enhance documentation and transparency

Problem1: How to make the operator aware of what a logical structure is currently doing/waiting for.
Suggested solution: Introduce a "Header" in all the structures, including a structure NAME and a structure INFO and TEXT (all of which may be entered in ASCII, or fed a value from inside).
Nested structures may feed values "outwards", overriding the previous text in this field.
Thus, accessing the header of the structure "NAME" and retrieving its "INFO" you may actually get the "NAME" of the last activated sub-structure, and so forth.
Benefits:
a) In the code, the header will serve to enforce further documenting the purpose of the structure. On the top of a case structure (for example) you will always see it's NAME (i.e. "Machine Supervision") and for each case you feed a separate INFO (i.e. "Overcurrent has Tripped") and a TEXT (i.e. "Check this or that and press GO to continue")
b) As each case is entered (or "continually"?) the header is made globally available to a "Header info vi" or directly to a front panel object. Thus, on the front panel the operator may easily track the actions of the program. (i.e. This program is currently doing "Machine Supervision". It is currently in state "Overcurrent has tripped". The programmer now advices you to "Check this or that and press GO to continue")
Problem2: What really happened when things went wrong? There are many ways to solve this general problem, however...
Suggested solution: I would like a special "Event Printer" front panel object. That is, a fifo register where info may be entered (from the "Header" above perhaps) and where the last few events may readily be displayed for the operator, much like a solid state event printer.
Benefits: Allows the operator a nice means to track the operation of the program. (and the programmer an easy way of accomplishing it). Example printout:
|09.00 > "Initialization" |
|09.03 > "Machine Supervision" |
|11.42 > > "Overcurrent has tripped"|
(I can think of many options here, such as a selectable fifo depth, how much should be visible, scrollable or not, printing up/down or left/right, etc. This way you can make anything from a simple "current action" field, up to a scrollable historical event database from now, back to when the program was started.
If you have a really elegant way of doing the same with current vi's, I would be interrested to learn how.
Best regards / Ake Hansson

All this is functionality you can create coding your own VIs. It's nice that LabVIEW comes with in-built functions fro a lot of basic tasks..it even has a wealth of functions for very specific tasks...but you got to draw the line somewhere (and let third-party developers do the rest...).
Creating a functional global/que e.g. to hold the last status update from different processes and then read that status and display it on an indicator (or on the window status bar (using e.g. G Toolkit)) is straigtforward.
You can create a version of each structure with string constants or controls in the upper corner(s), fed into the functional global/que...save it in a VI that you put in the user.lib directory and then set the Merge VI option in the palette...you now have a
structure template with the header field and status que.

Integration documentation for sap sd with fico and mm

hi Sappers,
I need Documentation for SAP SD with FICO and MM Module
its very urgent.
mail id : [email protected]

Some basic information :
FI-MM: The integration between FI-MM happens in T-code: OBYC
1. When PO is created :
No Entry -
2. When GR is posted
 Inventory Account dr (Transaction Key BSX in OBYC)
 To GRIR account (T.Key WRX in T-code OBYC)
3. When Invoice is posted
 GRIR account Dr.
 Vendor account Cr.
4. Payment made to Vendor
 Vendor A/c Dr
 To Bank Clearing A/c Cr.
Points to know : Movement Types, Assignment of Movement types to T-keys (T-code OMJJ), Value string (I also need some information on this) , OMWN and OMWB transactions.
There is a close integration b/w FI & MM, actually document flows from MM to FI in the following areas such as,
 1. Movement Types:
Used to enable the system to find the predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of financial accounting system are to be posted & to update the stock fields in the matrl master data.(Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, etc)
 2. Valuation Class:
Assignment of material to grp of gl account, used to determine the gl accounts that are updated as a result of goods movement.
3. Transaction/Event key:
Used to control the storage or filing of documents & assignment of documents.Used to differeniate b/w various transactions such as goods movement tht occur in inventory.
 4. Material Type:
Each material should assign mtrl type in mtrl master record used to update whether changes made in qty are updated in material master record & change in value also updated in stock account.
 FI-SD Integration:
The integration is done in T-code VKOA
 1. Sales Order Created
 -No Entry-
2. PGI done (Goods issue)
 Cost of Goods Sold Dr (Configured in OBYC GBB T-Key)
 To Inventory Account
 3. Billing document released to Accounting
 Customer Account Dr.
 To Sales Revenue Account (ERL T-key in Pricing procedure)
Note : The GL account is assigned to this ERL in VKOA
 4. Payment Received
 Bank Clearing A/c Dr
 Customer A/c Cr.
Points to Know : Good to understand the pricing procedure and how the different transaction keys are used like ERL, ERS etc

JDev CVS integration Compare error

I have successfully integrated JDev 10g 9.0.5.0.0.1375 with a CVS server. When I attempt to compare two different versions in the history of an XML file using the "Compare...." option, the following class cast exception is thrown and the compare fails.
Comparing 2 versions of any other type of file eg .java, .jsp works without errors.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

LabVIEW Project SDLC Documentation

Hi,
My Organization is using LabVIEW newly. We don't have any templates available for LabVIEW SDLC documentation . What does the High Level Design (HLD) document / Low Level Design (LLD) / Software Interface document of LabVIEW consist of?
Can any one provide me the relevent links/ material ?
Thanks in Advance !!!

Hi ITA,
I do not know much about SDLC but it looks to just be a fairly high-level model for software development. I cannot seem to find any documentation for this model with regard to LabVIEW, but maybe this information will address some of the issue and be useful to you.

Getting LabVIEW-Perforce integration to work with a complex Perforce Workspace

Hi
I am having trouble getting my Perforce system to work with LabVIEW 8.6 Professional. Briefly, Perforce has a special system for splitting a workspace over two logical drives. In my case these are a Novell shared drive which holds versions which I have "published" as a code branch for colleagues, and my local drive which holds the development line. To do this requires Perforce workspace settings of:
Workspace-> VMware-NI
root -> null
AltRoots ->
c:/
r:/
View->
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/LV851/release/..." "//VMWare-NI/r:/NI/LabVIEW851/user.lib/B.J. Treves Brown/..."
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/LV860/release/..." "//VMWare-NI/r:/NI/LabVIEW860/user.lib/B.J. Treves Brown/..."
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/main/..." //VMWare-NI/c:/Users/mcnssbt/Documents/LabVIEW/Lib-Devel/...
<etc>
This works correctly with the Perforce tools, but not from the LabVIEW project using either Perforce Command Line or Perforce SCM.
If I cut the workspace down to
root -> c:/
AltRoots->
View ->
"//depot/LabVIEW/BJTB Library/main/..." //VMWare-NI/c:/Users/mcnssbt/Documents/LabVIEW/Lib-Devel/...
Then LabVIEW integration works correctly, identifying which files are checked out, etc.
Any ideas (apart from maintaining two workspace definitions)?
Thanks
Bernard Treves Brown

Hi Bernard
I received information from R&D regarding this issue, and it seems like
the problem is not with the integration between Perforce and LabVIEW, but rather
the way in which the utilization of the "AltRoots" feature. This feature
is intended to use the same Perforce client specifications on multiple
platforms with different directory naming conventions. It was
not meant to be used with two drives on the same platform, which can lead to the
following issues. Please see the link below for a definition
of the AltRoots command.

LabVIEW 7 Print Documentation Errors

I am trying to print some documentation from my application - all I am selecting the entire hierarcahy (65 VI's) and excluding vi.lib VI's. I am then selecting to print the VI Icon and Description->Descrption only to a plain text file. I have descriptions/header information within each VI but within the text output not all VIs have this information printed. The dropping off doesn't occur at the end by in the middle. I have tried several times and the output varies each time.
Has anyone else had this probelm?

Strongly Agree! Trying to print documentation and having the same issue. Random missing documentation when I generate it to a HTML file. Using 8.0.1
Hope it is fixed in 8.20 because this is driving me crazy ...... Keep hitting generate until it looks correct.
