Multiple Versions of Desktop merged?

I wanted to install Documents to Go from my installation CD (not installed originally). When attempting to do this I had to go through the regular installation process....and ultimately here is my situation: I seem to have multiple Desktop versions sort of merged. The version that opens says 6.2 and the data on my palm is fine. But when the desktop application opens it shows a strange version of the calendar with multiple colors. I can then choose the other calendar button from the applications on the left side. One is called "Date", the other is called "Calendar". "Date" has my original information. Then there is "Address" and "Contacts" - They seem to have the same data, but "Contacts" freezes and has strange colors. There is "Memo" and "Memos". "Memo" has the current data.
I don't know what to do to get rid of all the extras.

Ok, here are the instructions for the "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop on Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
Delete the Palm OS desktop folder in My documents.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Distributing multiple versions of an app within a single Windows Store app

The company I work for creates Point Of Sale (POS) software using Software As A Service (SAAS), so we host our clients' databases. We do not force all of our clients to all be on the same version of our software; i.e. some clients are on version 3,
others v4, others v5, etc. As you would expect, the database schema for each of these versions is different, so each of these clients also use a different version of our client-side app.
We are looking at making a Windows Store app that acts as a light-weight POS app that clients can use to sell their products. The problem is, we will require having multiple versions of our Windows Store app in production; the version of the app that
the client uses must correspond to their database version. We were initially hoping to have our Windows Store app detect which version of the app the client should be using, and then automatically update itself to the correct version, but
were told on this post that it violates the Windows Store certification criteria, so that's not an option.
It has been suggested that we put multiple apps into the Store; one for each version of our software. We really don't want to do this though, as when we upgrade a client's database from one version to the next it would require that they uninstall their current
app and install the newer versions app, causing them to lose all of their custom settings. We would like the updates to remain as transparent to the end users as possible; the store clerk shouldn't need to worry about which version their database is on so
they know which app to download from the Store.
As a possible workaround, is it ok for us to package all 3 versions of our app into a single Windows Store app, and then just have the app check at runtime which version it should run? I assume that this is alright, since we will not be downloading
any other code or installing any software/apps, as was the case with our original solution that violates the certification criteria. Essentially we would just have 3 different classes and determine at run-time which classes code we should run.
I know that this solution isn't ideal, as it means our app will be 3 times larger than it needs to be, and that an update to any one of the 3 versions of our software will require an update to the Store app (so potentially users may download a new version
of the Store app, even though it doesn't have any changes for the particular code version (i.e. class) that they will use), but it's one of the best alternatives we have come up with. I just want to check that this solution doesn't also violate any certification
criteria before we go down this road.
If this is not allowed then our only other alternative might be to go with sideloading (as
I discuss on this thread) and avoid using the Windows Store all together, but we would prefer to use the Store if possible as it eliminates a lot of overhead that we would have to deal with if we use sideloading.
Any insights or suggestions that you can give are appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Mr_bigworlds, thanks for the reply. The moderator on this post actually told me that this
would be a better forum for my inquiries. I agree that there may be another forum better suited for this question (there are so many that I don't know about), but since this relates to Windows Store certification criteria, I don't think the Windows Desktop
Development forums are the place for it.

Handling source files for multiple versions

Ok, I've looked around on the web and multiple discussions and have yet to find an answer. We currently have two authors working on the same help project that we have handled relatively successfully under RoboSource. Our development environment has changed so that we need to be able to support multiple versions of the help at once ie- release branch vs development branch that we want documented but it is not yet slated to be in the release.
I've looked at the help for RoboSource and there is an idea of branching but not much help on how this is done or if it really maintains two sets of the files, etc. I've also seen some postings on the forum for this that have gone unanswered. Makes me suspect that perhaps RoboSource doesn't really support multiple versions of help source files. I would be happy to admit that I'm wrong here.
Another option to solve our challenge is by committing our source files to the development source system, SVN. I've noticed some threads discussing this. I'm unsure from reading these posts if RoboHelp alerts you when you are about to modify a file, such fpj or hhk, that is being used by someone else like RoboSource does. Since we still have two authors playing in the same help project it would be most efficient if it would notify us before letting us write over one another's work.
Can anyone shed some light on:
1) does RoboSource really support multiple versions of the help source files and how it is done?
2) does RoboHelp notice when a file is locked in SVN and notify the other author to keep hands off until it is committed again?
3) is there somewhere better for me to research this?
Thanks you for any assistance you can provide,
Nita

We're using RSC 3.1 with RH 8 and with RH X5, and we've found that this is actually a two-step process:
Branching is the method for copying a snapshot of a folder (to establish two branches of the same source).
Reconciling (AKA forward/back patching) is the method for synchronizing edits between branches (or not, as the case may be).
For example, a "V12.3" branch of the "main" source has been prepared for one customer's specific needs. All edits to "main" will be forward patched to "V12.3," but edits to specific areas of "V12.3" will not be back patched to "main."
Tim, my boss, prepared the tutorials below, as much for himself as for us, and I have only stripped the screenshots to protect our intellectual property. Note also that we reference two publish locations, one for internal reviewing, and one for Release Engineering to include in our nightly product builds. Your environment might only have a single publish destination. Note also that the output files are never added to RSC.
Pay special attention to your folder naming process before you start, by anticipating any potential future branching needs. Folder renaming after the fact can be problematic in RH and RSC.
Good luck,
Leon
===================================
Branching Projects in RoboSource 3.1
Since the Help for RoboSource and Robohelp lack a proper explanation for branching and updating configuration files to support proper branching, this document has been created to assist in creating future branches.
Creating New Local Directories
Individuals must create new local path directories on their systems. We use the following conventions:
Ex. C:\902_imsmerge\projects (source folder)
Ex. C:\902_imsgenerate\mergedProjects (output folder)
Create New Server Directories
New server directories need to be created in two locations for holding the output files.
One is for the Robohelp output that gets put in the nightly .war file and checked into Perforce.
The other is in the wwwroot of our IIS server for our doc web site.
They are defined as follows:
\\docsql01\Documentation\RoboHelp\9.0.3\imsgenerate
\\docsql01\Inetpub\wwwroot\help_sys\9.0.3
Create new directories with the correct branch number.
Using RoboSource View Manager to Create a Branch
You use the View Manager to create a new branch. In RoboSource 3.1, a branch is just a different type of view.
Assume the version_903 branch has already been created. To create a new branch, click the Create button and name the new branch (version_910), leaving a blank root folder.
Click on Set Root to define the root folder for the new branch.
Select the root for the branch and click OK.
Select the view (branch) and click Properties. In the Properties window, select Branch as the Type, then click Close.
In the View Manager, check the check box to enable the view.
Setting the Local Path for the New Branch
Select the new branch and right-click.
Type in or browse to the correct local path, check the Apply Recursively box, click Apply. Close the Properties window.
Editing .xpj Files
The .xpj files in the new branch need to be edited to point to the new branch. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF NOT DONE ROBOHELP WILL CHECK IN CHANGES TO BOTH THE BRANCH AND THE ROOT.
One line in each project’s .xpj needs to change. See below.
This value must match the branch the project lives in. In our above new branch example this would be changes to %version_910.
In a merged project, you can change all these at once with the FAR tool.
Edit the .ssl and .sss files
These files need to be edited to redefine the generating and publishing paths. Note that this can also be accomplished with the FAR tool, or by having each writer do it through the GUI.
ssl Files
The .ssl files contain the data for the generate path. Although there might be seven .ssl files for each project, you only need to edit the ones for your Primary Layout and one or two others that you might also use.
Make sure the generate path is defined correctly.
sss Files
The .sss file defines the publishing paths. This edit can also be done through the GUI if necessary.
====================================
Forward and Back Patching in RoboSource
This document describes the procedure of forward or back patching files (.htm or .gif) between branches in the RoboSource system. The RoboSource product uses a feature called Reconcile Changes to accomplish patching between branches.
Example Scenario
Throughout this document we will use a real life example from the refwindows project.
We have edited the version 9.0.3 security_master_folder.htm file in RoboHelp.
Now, we need to backpatch it to version 9.0.2.
Selecting Folders or Files to Reconcile
You can select either:
A single file for reconciliation
The source folder, or
The destination folder
If you have just one file to reconcile, you will probably want to use the single file method. If you have several files to reconcile, you will need to use the folder method.
Working from the Source Folder
Select the source folder (folder that contains the updated file) in source control. In our case, %version_903/refwindows.
Select Reconcile Changes … from the Action menu. This opens the Reconcile window.
Select the appropriate option in the Reconcile window.
In our example we select the first option to reconcile from %version_903 because that is where our updated file is. Make sure the correct project is selected in the drop-down list. ($/version_902/refwindows).
Other Options
Reconcile changes made in another branch *into %verison_903/refwindows. This is the option you would use if you have an updated file in another branch that you want to put in 903.
Reconcile changes made locally (in c:\903_imsmerge\projects\refwindows) and %version_903/refwindows. We would most likely never use this option.
Reconcile changes made in another database *into* this database. Do not use.
None of the above, let me select what to Reconcile. This one sounds like it would be a good option, but it gets even more complicated.
Wildcard Filter. Use this to display only certain file types. For example, *.htm;*.gif;*.jpg would filter on those file types.
Click OK to open the Difference Reconciliator window.
Notice that this window shows all files in the project that have differences such as the .ssl and .xpj files.
IMPORTANT: NEVER reconcile these files, they are supposed to be different.
You can prevent these files from displaying by using the Wildcard Filter discussed above.
Select the appropriate file (security_master_folder.htm). This window will allow you to replace the file in the version_902 project unfortunately, it will also allow you to replace the updated file with the older one. Be Careful Here.
You can also View Differences from this window by clicking the View Differences link.
Click the Replace button in the $/version_902 pane.
You will get a confirmation dialog. Before clicking OK, take the time to read the question. This is your opportunity to catch potential mistakes!
You will then get the Reconcile Checkout dialog.
Be sure Perform the action directly on the Server is checked, click OK.
You see that the Difference Reconciliator window now indicates No changes to merge from %version_903/rewindows/security_master_folder.htm in the $version_902 pane.
Close the window.
Check the Destination Folder
In the source control window go to the destination branch and check the project. You can see in this shot that the security_master_folder.htm file now shows the date it was replaced, and that the server version is now different from your local version.
Working from the Destination Folder
If you had chosen the destination folder and select Reconcile Changes, the same window would have opened but with different options.
Here you would have selected the second option to reconcile into $/version_902.
You can do it either way, just pay careful attention to the options. The rest of the process is the same.

Multiple chrome windows on a multiple monitor, multi-desktop setup?

Dear all,
I'm having this huge headache because I have a dual monitor setup (imac 27" + second 24" monitor) and I have configured 6 different desktops in it (mountain lion here) where each desktop dual monitor scene has a chrome window (with several tabs each) on each monitor. I do this because i work 90% on SaaS's and as such I need this multi-desktop setup with chrome spread all over it.
Problem: Everytime i reboot the system, all those crhome windows get back to desktop 1 (on both monitors) and I have to painstakingly put each chrome window one by one back into each desktop again. Its really a PITA.
Solution: Anyone can tell me a workaround for this or if I am missing some OSX or chorme trick or tweak that will make the system "remember" where each chrome windows was in each desktop + monitor?
Thanks in advance!

Peggy,
We have been running 3 separate Forte environments on one server (dev,
test, prod) for over a year now. The environments have been at
different Forte release levels at various times. Darrell is right on
target with the UNIX links and separate fortedef.sh files for each
environment. The links will help reduce disk space. Follow his
instructions and you should be good to go. We have each Forte
environment point to its own database instance also. You can set the
environment variables in each fortedef.sh file to do this. If you keep
multiple versions of Forte on a windows client machine, you will have to
switch the Forte.ini file before starting Forte.
As for security and auditing, I not sure what you are looking for here.
Our application has security and auditing but that it.
Keep in mind, that each Forte environment will be competiting for system
resources on the same server. When we have 3 environments running, we
notice a performance hit. Try to use as few resources as you can. For
example, our test and production environments do not require a
repository server, since we test deployed. So do not start these
processes.
Good luck.

Multiple versions on one computer?

Hi!
I am a new Macbook user that I bought to start developing Mac software.
I would like to use multiple versions of Mac OS X on my macbook if possible.
Can this be done so that I would have 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 of Mac OS X installed and select the version on boot.
Thank you!

Just to build on what TP has mentioned... the reason for this is that older versions of OS X are never updated for newer hardware. As all Macs ship with the most current OS on them, there is never a need to update previous versions of the OS. There have been a number of significant hardware updates since 10.3 (I don't believe any version of 10.3 was ever released for the Intel Macs). If you had an older MacBook that came with 10.4, you could get away with installing both 10.4 (using the version it shipped with) and 10.5. If you have a more current MacBook, 10.5 is pretty much your only choice.

[Forum FAQ] Schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

As we known that there is no UI for user to configure Image backup in Windows 8.1, this is a guide for your to schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup.
Step 1: Create a task to schedule an image backup with following command:
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN WeeklyFullBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 13:00 /TR “wbAdmin Start Backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet”
Step 2: Schedule a robocopy to backup the saved image with BAT file:
Please create a new folder (in this example, the new folder is e:\test2) to save your multiple copies of image backup:
Write following batch file to copy backup and rename with backup date:
*****************BAT********************
@echo off
robocopy e:\test1\ e:\test2\ test.wim
ren e:\test2\test.wim test_%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.wim
NOTE: e:\test2 is my location to save multiple copies of image backup; e:\test1 is the location I create the system image backup.
This BAT can also help to rename the copy of image backup with date and time like below:
3. Set up a basic task in Task schedule:
Note: please make sure the time you configured follows the time you set for image backup in Step 1.
Action -> Create basic task (Name you task) -> Trigger (Set how often this task should be run) -> Action (Start a program) -> Under Program/script, point to your bat file you create in Step 2.b -> Finish
At the end, you can know more about SCHTASKS and Robocopy via following links:

when we run the query we are giving the Verion ( means week) in the selections.. data is coming but.not matching with Apo..data..
we assumed that data is coming more. beacuse it might taking the data of previous year also.
so we included the Calyear and aksed user to selct both, vesrion as well as year.. because their req is for multiple version with historical data.
They want to see the data for multiple versions with historical data... even though data is not matching..
what we had done is again deleting all the data from Cube and dso an datasource , again loading... this time we asked user to run the report and match it the data is matching.. with vesrion
But when we go for historical data with mutiple version. its not matching ,
pleas help me out where to find out this probelm , what could be the cause ,.
how to chek
Awaiting your valuble fedback. its an uregnt issue.
if any thing else required pls let me know

Txs for your valuble reply..
We had checked that .
but when we unload and again loaded data this time it is matching on giving the version...
Where as in case of Multiplr versions . data is coming more.. donno wheather it is mixing up the duplicate data . or what not able to underand.
can you pls tell me steps how to analyse with your patiency...
Where and all we need to chek ....

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks
regards

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

Multiple versions on one box

Hi
Could someone help me with the below questions.
We have multiple MaxDB databases running on one box for EC and BW. There is a requirement to upgrade the BW database software, to do this do I have to upgrade the other databases on the box? Though my OS is Linux, I would also like to know the possibilities in windows environement.
If we can have multiple versions of databases on one box, are there any known problems. If the database version are different, how does the common services or executables work (eg:- I understand that there is only on XSERVER per box) and which folders are updated (is it only "database_dependent_path" or "independent_program_path" as well)?
Please advise
Thanks

Hi,
1. "Do I have to upgrade the other databases on the box?" -- It depends on your software and instance setup. If the multiple instances are installed under different directories. For e.g., the two instances 773 and 763 are installed under different directories on my PC:
> dbmcli db_enum
773     C:\sapdb\773\db                         7.7.03.16       fast    running
763     C:\sapdb\763\db                         7.6.03.06       fast    offline
> dbmcli inst_enum
7.7.03.16    C:\sapdb\773\db
7.6.03.06    C:\sapdb\763\db
If the EC and BW instances are installed under different directories, you can upgrade them independently of each other. This behavior is similar on all OS.
2. There are no known problems running multiple versions of databases on one box. When you update one instance, the database_dependent_path is updated. If the independent_program_path contains programs of an older version or build, it is updated as well.
Hope this helps,
Ashwath

Multiple versions of PSE on same computer.

Can multiple versions of PSE be installed and used on one computer, e.g. PSE5, PSE8, PSE11, and PSE 13. Will there be conflict or other kinds of problems? Are the different versions in any way connected or are they each entirely stand alone with "touching" each other? Or, another way of putting this is, do I have to uninstall prior versions of PSE before installing a newer version on the same computer? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

rgthoman a écrit:
Is this true of the organizer as well as the editor? If files are stored in the organizer of one version, are they readily accessible for editing in another version?
That has nothing to do with several versions. Files are NOT stored in the organizer. They are somewhere on your drive(s). If you have a single Elements version and several catalogs pointing to the same files on your drive(s), each catalog will be able to access the same files... until you move, rename or delete them from another catalog.

Multiple version of Java on one machine

Is it possible to have multiple versions of Java co-exist on the same XP Pro machine?
Here is our scenario: we have apps that use Java 1.5, but we have one critical app that doesn't support that version yet. It has to use the 1.4 version. Is there a way to allow both versions to exist and be usable for their respective apps? If so, how?
Thank you.

I can't, however it's never a good idea to have
multiple versions of Java on one machine. Try and
standardise if possible. If OP used JAVA_HOME as you
often suggest, then he would be knackered wouldn't
he? JAVA_HOME can only point to one JDK. Your
advice is conflicting kaj.Nope. JAVA_HOME should always be defined in the start script/file for a java application, so it's not set per system. It's very common that companies have applications that requires different JDK/JRE versions, and it's usually very expensive to upgrade all applications (if it's possible at all). You can of course also alter the PATH variable if you want to in the script.

Multiple versions of labview on 1 computer

Hello,
I have just purchased LV 8.2 and am about to install it on my computer. The old version of LV I currently have on my computer is 7.1. Can I run both versions on the same computer or is it beneficial to take off LV 7.1 first before installing the new 8.2. Any opinions?

Azazal,
You can certainly run both versions on the same computer. I have 6.1, 7.1, 8.0, and 8.20 installed on this machine and I regularly have more than one version open at the same time.
However, Paulo is very correct by saying that toolkits typically only install for one version of LabVIEW and that you need to be careful not to open your VIs in the wrong version of LabVIEW. If you were to open and save a LabVIEW 7.1 VI in 8.20 you would be unable to open it again in 7.1.

Multiple versions of an application on one Forms Server

Is it possible to have multiple versions of an application available via one Forms Server?
We have a DEV, TEST and PROD version of an application and we would like to have the versions seperate on one Forms Server.
Would this be possible using any other Oracle tools (Portal)?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, all you have to do is create a batch file which sets the env variables you want and also starts up the forms listener on a different port. This way you can have a forms listener on e.g.
Port 9000 With Forms60_Path - c:\temp
Port 9001 With Forms60_Path - c:\Production
Port 9002 With Forms60_Path - c:\test
That way you will pick up different files as well.

Solaris 11 IPS: How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:

Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?

dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
If I publish one package after another like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.
