Setup Source Control

NEED HELP ASAP. I have an SOP file created in RoboInfo. It
was used only on a local pc but I now need to share access between
authors. My roboinfo folder on the C drive has several folders and
files in it. Some with the same name. How do I create a backup of
the project that I am using? I need to make sure I put the right
project file in sourcecontrol on the server. thanks

Read this: Source Code Control Provider Does Not Appear In LabVIEW Options. (A simple search would have yielded this.)

Visual Studio 2013 slows down + crashes when using Source Control features.

I have spent two full days trying to resolve this issue but no luck so here we go,
I have created a project using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server plug-in in the past. Later on I switched to
Microsoft Git Provider.
Now when I connect to that project in the Team Explorer and double click on the solution to work on it locally it somehow changes the plug in to Microsoft Git Provider automatically and of course I can't
Commit/Commit and Push since I receive following error in the Team Explorer,
An error occurred. Detailed message: Failed to open directory 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Application Data/'
Manually changing the plug-in to the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
results in a broken Team Explorer as below,
With Settings leading to an empty pane, and also a warning in the Team Explorer's Changes page telling me the message below if I click on Pending Changes...
Microsoft Git Provider is not the current Source Control plug-in. Change Plug-in
And manually selecting the solution from Solution Explorer, right click and
Add Solution to Source Control, leads to never ending hour glass and (Not responding) visual studio.
New Projects
Creating a new project is straight forward, unless I "Add to Source Control" is checked. If so, again never ending process if Microsoft TFS plug-in is selected in the tools and eventually me Ending the Visual Studio task. And a VERY long process
(40+ mins) if I have chosen Microsoft Git but that finishes successfully rather.
New TFS project from Team Explorer
If I create a new project in my Online Web Studio
Click on Open with Visual Studio Link => Opens and connects to a my newly created TFS in team explorer.
Clicking new in Team Explorer under Solutions to create a new solution and bind it to this Repo
leads to straight crash of Visual Studio and restarting attempt of VS.
So I really can't use Source Control from visual studio other than cloning GitHub's existing repo's on Visual Studio and Committing my current Microsoft Git managed projects.
I have attempted
Repairing Visual Studio (no luck in results)
Devenv.exe /setup (no luck)
Trying to scrap the SCC info on my solution then at least it won't get picked up by source control then I can Check it in as a new project. (no luck and the solution picks the Microsoft Git upon opening it by clicking on the .sln file.) I have followed
these steps in this stack overflow answer.
And lots of mucking around like removing my workspaces almost Thousand times and putting them back, binding and etc.
I am really stuck on this and it's holding me back from staring a new project (which is problematic using Adding to Source Control) and unfortunately is dependent on the old project (which is developed under Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Plug-in which
is throwing tantrums)
Would like to hear you pro-s input on this
Using
Visual Studio 2013 Community edition (recently switched from Pro to Express to Community)
Windows 7 (64-bit)
Git tools
Git windows installation

Hi Mehradzie,
Based on the description, seems you're working with Git team project in Visual Studio Online(formerly Team Foundation Service). I'd like to know whether you mean Visual Studio Git command tool as the plug-in, and if you're trying to create solutions/projects
with Visual Studio and add them to the created Git team project.
From the screenshot, you're not connect to the Git team project by using Team Explorer. To work with Git team project locally, you can follow the instructions as below:
Connect to Git team project by using Team Explorer, after that you might install Git tools if you connect to the team project for the first time
Clone the remote Git repository to a local git repository and set the path to local git repository
Create a solution and select Git source control, also saved to the local path of the local git repository
Select your branch, and then click "Changes" and Commit the changes
Click "unsynced commits" and push the commit to remote git repository
You can also refer to the links below for more information about getting started with Git in Visual Studio Online.

How do I use Perforce Source Control on a substituted drive

Hello all,
I am wrestling my way through using perforce as an integrated source control package in Labview.
The path has many potholes but seems possible.
My latest challenge:
Substituted Paths.
In a professional source control environment there are many users with many views/workspaces and it is good proactice for each one to have a unique name [user][machine][branchname][myprojectstructure]
Labview is notorious for requiring fixed, absolute paths due to the way .vi's remember their callers, my previous practice using IBM/Rational clearcase was to substitue ("subst B: ." ) the project root [myprojectstructure] to another drive, say B: for example. This makes Labview is happy as the paths are now fixed, the developer is happy as they don't have to check out a miriad of files.
This practice is widespread in the embedded software development world and isn't exactly innovative.
Perforce
Clearcase integrated into Labview works seamlessly, you just point the path to the substituted drive and all is well.
Perforce, not so much.
The setup options within labview whilst being intuitive and easy to use, don't appear allow this method.
Does anyone know how to do the equivalent in Perforce?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks John,
I will see if this works
I hadn't thought about substituting the drive first and then populating the workspace.
I can see that this implimentation requires discipline,
There is a significant danger of refreshing the wrong workspace and trashing modified files.

Looking for Source Control suggestions

I'm a non-professional "at home" programmer and want to set up and experiment with Source Control. The available options seem to be CVS, Subversion and Perforce, although I gather that CVS is 'old technology' replaced by Subversion.
My requirements (desires)
A) Run on 10.4.11
B) integrate with XCode, but can be accessed without it when desired
C) have a GUI interface (can use command line, but prefer GUI)
D) can store non-text documents (like Word Processing and Spreadsheets - not necessarily graphics)
What are advantages/disadvantages of Subversion vs Perforce?
What are the best GUIs for Subversion?
Any suggestions / advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

There are actually quite a few more than that. Plus, Perforce is commercial software. I believe it can be used for free under some circumstances, such as yours.
It sounds like you have bought into the Subversion propaganda There is nothing wrong with CVS. It is super easy to setup and use. It is more a competitor to Subversion than being replaced by it. In fact, I would now call Subversion 'old technology' replaced by Git.
My requirements (desires)
A) Run on 10.4.11
They all do.
B) integrate with XCode, but can be accessed without it when desired
Most do.
C) have a GUI interface (can use command line, but prefer GUI)
Most do. There may be 3rd parties that have build GUIs in some cases.
D) can store non-text documents (like Word Processing and Spreadsheets - not necessarily graphics)
They all do.
I can't answer any other questions as I've never really used Subversion or Perforce. I tried to install the Subversion server but gave up because it was way too complicated. I like CVS - sweet and simple.

Siebel Tools Business Services for Source Control verification

One of the challenges with integrating Siebel Tools with a Source Control repository is that it is far too easy for an user to check in code to the Siebel Repository without that code getting checked in correctly to the Source Control repository (i.e. Subversion).
They can turn off the source control, have it setup incorrectly, or have some permissions issues which they don't know about. Since Siebel does all check-ins as an after though you can have the two code repositories (Siebel Tools and Subversion) out of sync.
Was wondering if anyone out there has used any of the out of the box Business Services (that start with Siebel Tools..) to build an automated process that would compare the objects in Siebel (via SIF-XML) to the files that got stored in the Source Control repository.
Or how have you mitigated this risk?

There are 2 things required to meet your need:
1) be able to generate a config.jar file from the resources in the source control in a command line tool.
2) deploy this jar file into alsb
WRT 1) this is something we want to address by adding an ALSB ant task, but it's not available today. You best bet is also to put the config jar in the source control.
WRT 2) this is already there. You can use the MBean APIs or WLST scripts to deploy the JAR.

Project Builder Source Control With CVS

Flashbuilder 4 and source control?

In my work environment, we work with multiple source code branches of the same code base.
For example, we often have a private branches for ongoing development, and a trunk branch where everything is integrated. During the course of any one day, we need to switch between working on one branch or the other.
With other toolsets, this is easy - project files are checked into source control, and then checked out of whatever branch and built with no modifications.
Is there a way to do this with Flashbuilder4? The prevailing wisdom here right now is that each time I want to work with a new source code branch, I have to import files from the checked out source directory, set some project settings, and rebuild.
Is there a better way?

I'm with Tom here. I don't understand your project setup in your workspace and in your repository.
Since you said you're new to Flash Builder, are you aware of Subclipse? It's a plug-in for Eclipse that integrates SVN. Here are the instructions to download and install http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/03/installing_subclipse_in_flash_builder_4.html.

Running Xcode without install(from source control)

I am managing a build lab and have several products/branches to provide service to and I would like my build machines not to be specialized to any one product/branch.
The scenario I would like to have is that souce and all tools needed to build it are checked into source control and just sync and build with some prep/env setup before hand via script.
This is very doable with Visual Studio and many other tools. Is it possible with Xcode? Has anyone gotten a scenario like this to work?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.

Does this snippet from the readme shed light...
Installation
The Xcode and iOS SDK installer provides several options for configuring the installation from the “Customize...” button:
•          Essentials: contains all required components of Xcode, installed by default in / Developer or another directory of your choice, including external volumes.
Xcode Toolset: installs the core Xcode IDE, the Mac OS X SDKs, and many other developer tools. This is a required package and cannot be un-selected.
iOS SDK: contains the iOS frameworks, tools, and iOS Simulator. If you do not agree to the iOS license agreement, this package will be unavailable. If un- selected, Xcode will install with only the Mac OS X SDKs.
•          System Tools: installs system-level tools for performance analysis, and for system monitoring from within the Instruments application.
•          UNIX Development: command-line tools such as compilers, linkers, and build tools. The components are always placed in /usr with only one version installed at a time.
•          Documentation: checked by default, Xcode will download developer documentation in the background for offline reading, and automatically download documentation updates as well. If unchecked, the documentation will be read from the web instead of the local disk. The download setting can be changed after install via Preferences.
Throughout this document <Xcode> refers to the path in which the Developer Tools Essentials components are installed, which defaults to /Developer. You can have multiple
versions of the Xcode toolset installed. You can move or rename the <Xcode> directory, but must not alter its internal structure.
NOTE: Only one version of the System Tools and the UNIX Development components can be installed on a computer at a time. The last installed set of these components replaces any previously installed set.

Windows Explorer integration for Source Control Explorer

Hi together,
we've setupped an Online TFS to organize our Powershell Scripts in our Team. After that we've installed the Source Control Explorer for checking items in and out. From within the Source Control Explorer this works flawless.
Some time ago i've worked with TortoiseSVN for Source Control and there were a Windows Explorer Integration which was super easy to use for making new local repositorys, checkin and checkout, is there something similar for TFS? Because we only write Powershell
Scripts, we don't need Visual Studio and it would be easier to work directly in the Windows Explorer.
Thanks for any tips and tricks!
Rolf

Hi Rolf,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using VSO Account?
What’s the version of your VS? if you’re using VS 2013, you can install the
TFS 2013 Power Tools on your client. If you installed the TFS 2013 Power Tools on your VS 2013 client, after you mapped and got the source file to local workspace folder using Source Control Explorer, you can right-click on the local workspace folder and
select Team Foundation Server menu to perform check in/out.

Help needed on weblogic portal source control under CVS

Hi,
Is that good or bad to put all the portaldomain under CVS control? eg.
my portal domain directory structure under development environment is
like the following:
c:\myportaldomain --|
|--beaApps
|---portalApp
| |---------myportalApplication
|
|---portalApp-project
I think the stuff I need to put under CVS are "myportalApplication"
and "portalApp-project" directories.
However, I want to organize the CVS directory structure like the
following:
c:\myportalmodule --|
|--src
|--docs
|--"myportalApplication"
|--"portalApp-project"
So this means: after I checkout from CVS, I need to copy the two
directories "myportalApplication" and "portalApp-project" from
c:\myportalmodule into corresponding sub-directories under
c:\myportaldomain, before I can do any development and testing. also,
if I make some changes on c:\myportaldomain, and I want to checkin, I
need to copy those files back to c:\myportalmodule. I tried to use
directory softlink, but it windows NT just offer shortcut, which
doesn't work.
Can somebody give some education how to integerate the weblogic portal
with CVS source control systems?
Thanks very much

Hi Rene,
Thanks for the very helpful info.
I think maybe I have a idea how to set up the dev environment now,
basically I will organize the CVS repository and weblogic directories
in the same way.
c:\myportalmodule--|
|---myportaldomain
| |---beaApps
| |---portalApp
| | |---------myportalApplication
| |
| |---portalApp-project
|--src
|--docs
|--build.xml
So before everybody can checkout any code from CVS, he need to
configure a new domain named "myportaldomain" in c:\myportalmodule
directory. Since the CVS and his domain have the same directory
structure, so when he do the fully checkout, the files will actually
be put into the right place, and he can checkin his files easily.
one annoying thing is that, since there are other files (such as
startPortal.bat,etc )generated by domain configuration wizard in
c:\myportalmodule\myportaldomain, which are not in CVS repository. so
everytime, we do a checkout, CVS will issue the warnings saying those
files are in CVS repository. Please advise is there any potential
problems or issues with this setup? Thanks for your help!!!!!
"René Zanner" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:<[email protected]>...
Hi,
we did a similar thing, but we put the whole beaApps directory in the CVS, because
we had more applications and also modified some things inside the tools application
of BEA...
With CVS you can do a 'partial' checkout of your module, that means you do not
need to copy the folders back and forth, but you can check in and update directly
in you domain directory.
The command for a partial checkout is:
cvs co -d <name of destination folder> <module name>/<path to your folder>
Once checked out here, you can work with the files like in the complete checkout.

How to store Mapviewer objects (styles,themes,maps) in source control ?

I'm wondering what's the best way for storing mapviewer data in source control ?
So far MapBuilder provides the import/export metadata feature but it doesn't do cached map objects. Ideally we need an automated way to backup/restore these objects into a new database instance from source control for a daily build type setup.
The MapBuilder text format looks promising, in that it supports diffs. Other options include dmp files but then we wouldn't be able to compare versions.
Has anyone faced this problem ?
What do the Oracle Mapviewer devs recommend ?
Thanks.

SSIS package to load Source Control Explorer details into a table

Hi Guys,
We are maintaining our code in Source control explorer,TFS.
We have created a table in our database which will have columns like names, latest, last_checkin.
I like to read from TFS those values and load it into database.
We need to create reports based on the locations and send it to our client.
Any ideas or path i have to take in order to achieve this, will be very grateful.
Cheers!!!!!

Why would you use SSIS to read from TFS?
And then create a report?
Wrong design to my taste.
You need a lot of .Net code as you need TFS APIs used this way.
var server = RegisteredTfsConnections.GetProjectCollection(new Uri("http://hostname:8080/"));
var projects = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(server);
var versionControl = (VersionControlServer)projects.GetService(typeof(VersionControlServer));
var newestDate = DateTime.MinValue;
Item newestItem = null;
var items = versionControl.GetItems("$/theproject/trunk/setup/*.msi");
foreach (var item in items.Items)
if (item.ItemType != ItemType.File)
continue;
if (item.CheckinDate > newestDate)
newestItem = item;
newestDate = item.CheckinDate;
newestItem.DownloadFile("C:\\temp\\" + Path.GetFileName(newestItem.ServerItem));
this still can be done in a Script Task, but defeats the purpose of using ETL.

Bc4j: source control

Hi,
I'd like to know how you manage bc4j under source control.
A bc4j project consists of a lot of files:
Project.jpr
Project.jpx
package.xml
package.xcfg
AppModule.xml
AppModule.java
AppModuleImpl.java
and some files per entity, view, assoc, viewlink
When you do an operation on the source control system (check-in, check-out), do you perform that operation on all of these files?
Do check-out all the files, or do you check-out only the files you need?
We are using PVCS for source control - so I my special interest is on how to use PVCS in conjunction with BC4J.
Thanks a lot for your comments
Guenther

Guenther,
To use PVCS as you SCM System with JDeveloper, you have 2 options:
1. Not intergerate your IDE with PVCS.
When you need to work on an object:
a) Open PVCS Version Manager(VM)
b) Check out the object (set your workfile location in VM to your JDeveloper work area). Some objects consist of more than one file. For example, a view object consist of .xml and .java file. So, obviously, you have to check out both. Also, if you need to add an object to the application module, you'll need to check out the application module files. This is an opprotunity to become familiar with the different files that makes your JDeveloper workspace.
c) Open JDeveloper and work on your file. It was necessary for me to keep JDeveloper 3.2 closed while I check out the file from VM. Otherwise I got errors when I tried to open the object. JDeveloper 9i seems to do much better.
d) Check in the object from VM
2. You other option is to integerate PVCS with JDeveloper, you currently have two options here:
a) Write your own Add-in if you have a lot of extra time and looking for some excitement. Oracle is not planning on helping us with this at all. I read a thread about someone writting one but no one has made this available yet.
b) If you are using PVCS 6.8, you can download the PVCS WebDAV Server. It took me less than 30 minutes to install and setup. It allows you to integrate JDeveloper 9i with PVCS. I have only been use it for a week now. It's workable. It is a little different. Instead of check-in/check-out, you LOCK the file and you work on it. The strange thing is that you can work on the file without locking it. This causes the creation of a new revision in PVCS everytime you save. Also, currently, I am the only one using WebDAV. So, I am still not aware of all the issues arising from working with a large group.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Source control issues with Azure Pack Web Sites

Struggling to get my Azure Pack Web Sites POC off the ground. Infrastructure is built and I'm ready to deploy a .NET app. I can successfully deploy an app from the gallery and tested and it works so we're good there.
However I'm having an issue with source control and getting an app deployed. We have a local instance of Github enterprise here we use for all code repositories. Can I use this? In my tenant site I have created a new web site and added
an external repository for source control. I put in the HTTP link to my local github enterprise repo and it tries for a minute and returns the following error:
Command 'git.exe fetch external ...' aborted due to no output and CPU activity for 60 seconds. You may increase SCM_COMMAND_IDLE_TIMEOUT setting to solve the issue.
git.exe fetch external --progress
There's nowhere I can specify credentials or SSH keys so azure pack can communicate with my repo (i'm assume this is the issue). I can't put company custom code out on codeplex or public github so that's out. Am I trying to do something that
isn't possible in Azure Pack?

I guess I'm confused. When I go into my web site and click the Setup deployment from source control, under the External repository option it says both Git and Mercurial repositories are supported. This is a different button than the GitHub option
for source code. So what's the point of that option is you can't actually use a git repo?
