LabVIEW with version control

Hi,
      I am using LabVIEW with version control and only want to check out the VI which I need to modify. If I changed a subVI all the VIs directly or indrectly called this VI got recompiled and in order to save them I need to check out all the VIs are affected. If I only check out the file I need to modify and ignore other recompiled VIs the problem is if I use typedef ENUM and I still want the automatically updated VI got saved. Does anybody run into this problem?
    Thanks for help!
    Regards,
    Tom

Yes, it can be a problem since LabVIEW stores the source and compiled code in the same file. There is an option to separate source from compiled code that addresses this problem. I have never used it and don't know if it causes any other problems.

Working with version control

Hi everyone,
What do I have to use to work with version control for Web Dynpro programming ?
Is it DTR ?
Thanks for the help.

Can I have a library of PDF docs with version control? Can it cope with version nos. embedded in the file name?

I manage a set of documents which are edited in Word but "published" as PDFs (using Word 2010's save to PDF capability).
I want to create a library for them on SharePoint (my company has SharePoint Online via its Office 365 subscription).
I'm pretty much a SharePoint novice but even I can see it's easy to upload the documents to a simple library. The things that are giving me a headache are:
Can I tell SharePoint what the version number of the uploaded PDF document is? The version number as understood by the library needs to match the version number written into the document (where it is called a revision number and increments in whole numbers
starting from zero).
How do I handle replacing the uploaded PDF documents with new versions? If they were Word documents I could edit them by opening them from the SharePoint library, checking them out if necessary, and SharePoint would handle version control.
But since the PDFs are generated from editable masters (Word documents) which are NOT on SharePoint I would need to edit the local Word document on my PC then generate a PDF version then upload it to replace the existing PDF document in the
library. Is it easy to upload a new document over the top of an old in a SharePoint library?
Hoping someone can give me some answers.
Regards,
Bruce Officer

hi Bruce,
1. It sounds like what you need is to set the starting version number since your revision number increments in whole numbers, it would match up to SharePoint once the starting version number is set. You can potentially create a new custom field in the
library to manually track the version of the uploaded PDF document, but this might not match up with SharePoint's own version number and could get confusing. Another possibility is to upload dummy versions of the PDF document until the SP version
matches with the revision version and then delete these dummy versions.
2. When you upload the PDF document again into the library, it should prompt you to see if you want to replace the existing. If you proceed with the upload, it should replace and increment the SharePoint version number.
Please Mark Answered if my reply solves your problem. Thanks!

Oracle 10g R2 - Metadata Issue With Version Controlled Resources

We are trying to utilize the Oracle 10g R2 feature that allows user-defined metadata to be attached to XML DB resources. However, we are encountering errors when we try to append/attach metadata to a version-controlled resource (VCR). The following steps were followed:
1. Register a new schema to be used for metadata (XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema).
2. Add a new resource to to the XML DB and make it version controlled (DBMS_XDB.createResource and DBMS_XDB_VERSION.makeVersioned).
3. Checkout the newly created version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB_VERSION.checkout)
4. Add metadata to the version-controlled resource (DBMS_XDB.appendResourceMetadata)
However, after step 4, the errors shown below are encountered:
========================================================
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxStrCopy: INLOB 2], [], [], [],
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XDB", line 890
ORA-06512: at line 2
========================================================
The steps followed for adding metadata to a resource were taken from Chapter 26 of the "Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide 10G Release 2" (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb_repos_meta.htm#sthref2302).
Is is possible to append and maintain metadata to an XML DB version controlled resource (VCR)? If so, what are the correct steps to do this? Note that if this is tried with a resource that is not version controlled, then no errors are encountered.
Thanks,
Steve

It appears that this issue has been solved in the next release of the database

How can I work offline and then re-synch with version control in SharePoint?

I am using RoboHelp 11 with SharePoint 2010 for version control. How can I work off-line and then re-synch my files with SharePoint when reconnected?
If I allow the connection to SharePoint to remain while working remotely through VPN, I am constantly annoyed by notices that "the underlying connection is lost."
Thanks!
Carol

Until/unless a solution is available here's my proposed work-around:
1.Check in all files from my primary project to SharePoint. (I have only one project.)
2. Duplicate the project that is linked to SharePoint. Name it "Off-Line Project" so that I am always aware of the project I'm working on. Don't link Off-Line Project to source control/SharePoint.
3. Before working off-line, import or overlay the latest version of all content (html) files from the SharePoint-linked project into Off-Line Project.
4. Work off-line using only Off-Line Project.
5. Returning to the office, get the latest version of all files from SharePoint. (eventually, I won't be the only person working on the project) import (or maybe just overlay using Windows Explorer?) the files I've worked on from Off-Line Project to the primary project.
Feedback? Suggestions?

Report Builder RDF, XML, REP and Version Control

I'm looking to convert our existing RDF reports to XML format to better support version control and have a few questions.
- Are there any issues with converting these RDF files to XML and developing them going forward?
- When it's time to deploy to the server we'll convert them to RDF or REP. Any issues?
- This question was asked before, [Thread: Oracle Reports Builder - RDF vs XML|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=721959], but that was over 3 years ago. Have the issues been resolved?
- Is anyone currently following the workflow I've outlined with success?

Hi Michael,
Per my understanding that you want to find a solution for version control when you design the report using the Report Builder 3.0, right?
As you know that Report Builder is a tool which can only work on one single file instead of a project , so the current version of Report Builder doesn't have these capabilities. You can submit a feature request about it on the Microsoft UserVoice site
here:
http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/53187-sql-bi-tools-srs-ssis-ssas-
Generally, visual Studio Team System and Visual Source Safe integrate with the Visual Studio/BIDS shell and third-party source control solutions like SVN managed from the file system play well with version control. So I would suggest you to consider use
them instead.
In conclusion, one possible workaround for you is that you can save all .rdl files in third part tool’s(TFS) workspace folder for version control purpose (check in, check out with the Windows Shell Extension), and you can use Report Builder to edit these
report files. Then use Report Builder to deploy the .rdl file to Report Server.

Version control and configuration management

How is version control and configuration management done for iPlanet6 web
and app servers?

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking. Neither iWS or
iAS have built in version control or configuration management. But
pretty much everyone integrates them with version control or SCM in some
way. Ranging from the complex (say integrating iAS and Interwoven) to
the simplistic (using CVS to track HTML documents or source code).

Version Control on BI7?

Hi Guys,
During my current project ,i encounter one problem with version control.
Due to some reason, we only have two environment (dev&prod),without QA system, So there comes the problem.
All the development is performed on dev env,and then transferred to prod system. We cann't control all the developmemt version in BI. So the crisis happens, we didn't know the current version of my prod system. very bad news:(
Can any expert give some advice on how to control the version( infoobjects,process chain,cube,queryetc)?
Does the bi system has the version control componet? Can the objects(created in bi and neet to be transferred) be exported and marked with some version number ?
My purpose is as following:
1:Using some method to control the version on dev and prod system, i need to see clearly what's the difference of some data models between dev and prod system.
2:Can any tools be used to control the version?
3:IF the version conflict,can we change the version backward quickly and effectivly?
Also can any experts explain the best practice of version control used in their own project ?
Thanks Ahead
Jinwei Zhang From Beijing China

unfortunately there is nor version control in BI. So once you have made changes to any objects, the previous changes are overwritten.
also for comparsion, you need to do a side-side comparison between DEv and PROD boxes in your case. no easy method.

Is version control supported?

I might be posting this question in wrong place, but I really want to know how the pl/sql scripts can be equipped with version control function. Is there any plugin connected to Perforce? Thanks!

Don't know Perforce, but maybe you could be able to
use it as an external tool (Tools - External Tools).
I remember at least someone on the forum else doing
the same for CVS.
That was me, have a look in TIps and Tricks here http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:54:1292604941130371::::P54_ID:381
Its a pretty clunky solution and I haven't used it much myself. I have pretty much stuck to keeping a command window (Cygwin) open and using scripts to extract from the database, checkin, and reload into the database.

Version control for databases, schemas, objects

Dear All,
I'm looking for a designer tool with version control abilities. I don't need to have many types of models, if it's able to do ER and version control, plus it has a command line interface then it's fine. (I need to automate everything, so installing schemas with one click or with one command shouldn't be a problem.) The funny thing is that I've already built such environments with SVN and VSS, but now I need a reliable product with such features. (I don't like Designer, so that one is out of scope.) One more thing: it has to be able to store parameters of objects for example: PCTFREE, PCTUSED, TABLESPACE, etc.
I'm looking forwrad to your help.

Released in April 2008, Oracle SQL Developer 1.5 is the "Version Control" release, as it includes integration with open source version control products, CVS and Subversion.Supporting the version control is a File Browser to browse and read files stored in the file system. You can open and edit these files from within SQL Developer.

Raptor and Version Control

Here are some discussion points for use of Raptor with version control.
Assumptions/Terminology.
Roles:
Developer, Tester, Production DBA.
Each developer has their own database or schema to work with.
Database code is PL/SQL and DDL
Client code is everything else including sql scripts.
VC stands for generic version control. I may slip into CVS speak, but ideally this is product neutral.
Scenario 1: New developer on existing project.
1 Check out sources
Obviously need to define a VC repository connection in Raptor
Probably also need to define filesystem directory to check out to. Conceivably raptor could do this under the covers but if the source code is a mixture of database code and client code this isn't possible.
2 Run sources against database to create schema objects
This would probably be a manual job within raptor but a nice feature would be a tool to work out the dependencies and run everything in the right order.
3 Edit-save-compile-edit objects in the database
At this stage the database code is out of sync with the filesystem and the VC. Since the definitive version is in VC the filesystem is irrelevant so it would make sense to save the object back to the filesystem when you click the save/compile button.
If VC isn't active this is obviously a bad idea since the filesystem version is the backup.
4 Create new object in database.
The new object needs to be immediately saved to the filesystem and added to VC(but not committed). The create dialog should ask for a filename as well as object name.
5 Commit changes to VC
What gets committed? All the database code in the schema of the current connection? All the database code which is known to CVS (which should include new ones created at step 4)? What about client code? Is there a need for a project to which objects can be added manually or automatically.
There may be clashes between this developer's changes and anothers.
Need to be able to compare current database with current cvs and merge in changes before commiting. The merged changes need to be immediately applied to the database.
6 Whoops forgot something, edit object on filesystem but don't check in.
7 Next day, try to edit same object in the database.
We now have a 3-way discrepancy between vc, filesystem and database. Raptor needs to allow diff/merge between database and filesystem as well as between database and VC.
Scenario 2: New Project
1 Developer creates some database code
edit-save-compile is entirely within the database at this stage and no VC is involved. At some point the developer has to define a vc repository and directory. Raptor needs to be able to create a new repository or module (cvs import for example) either at this stage or the first time code is saved.
There could be an option to make VC compulsory so that whenever a developer creates an object, the relevant VC actions are taken.
2 This scenario merges into scenario 1.
Scenario 3: Tester begins new testing cycle
Scenario 4: DBA implements new code in production database.
1 User checks out latest code from CVS
2 User runs code against database to create schema objects.
This is very straight forward. I am not even sure that this should involve raptor, it should all be done by scripts in sqlplus. The one raptor involvement could be reconcilation of the objects in the test database with the VC repository.
A few other thoughts.
I haven't thought about multi-schema development, ie making changes to more than one schema at a time. Should a VC repository be associated with a particular connection?
I haven't thought about managing 'create table' vs 'alter table'. A tool which generated an alter table from the different between db and vc or between 2 vc revisions would be useful.
All checkout/export/diff actions should be against labels/tags/branches as well as the tip.
Filenames and formats.
There should be preferences to allow the user to specify file extensions and other naming conventions (eg upper/lower case). I use the following for ddl files
table_name.tbl -- create table
table_name.con -- constraints for table
table_name.idx -- indexes for table
view_name.vue
sequence_name.seq
Table DDL
Currently table ddl as generated from raptor includes storage details. Not all of this is relevant in the development process and could cause spurious differences in version control.
I also like my constrains in a separate file from the table ddl.
PL/SQL Templates
The ability to define basic package and procedure templates with VC keywords etc in place. New | Procedure etc would use these templates

Thanks for the detailed use cases. We can use this message to track Version control feature requests.
We do want to provide this support in future releases.

Assigning Map IDs when using Version Control

Hi
We are using RH11 with version control (two of us have licences to use RH) I am wanting to assign Map IDs in our project. I created the map number, but when I go to assign it to a topic, I get the the following message.
"The files in the list below could not be checked out from version control. Exclusive access to these files is required to execute the selected action"
The file in the list that it is referring to has the extension .ali
Is this saying that because there are two of us with RH that can access the project that I can't do this? Or is it because of the version control I cannot do this? I don't really understand why? I am hoping there is an expert who can enlighten me!
Thanks, Louise

There are two reasons that this behaviour normally occurs:
The file is checked out by the other author. This happens when you both are trying to add new map id's at the same time. If the other author checks in the entire project, you should be fine.
The file is somehow located outside source control. In this scenario your source control link has issues. Try opening the Source Control application to see what is going on.
Can you also try checking out the entire project before adding the map id. Does that help?

Poll - Which Version Control Software Do You Use With LabVIEW?

I wish the forums had a poll feature. I created a poll in the developer community - Which Version Control Software Do You Use With LabVIEW?

Edit: I just saw that there already is a poll for that

Looks suspiciously like someone trying to increase hits on their blog. A coincidence that it was posted the same day as the blog post?
