Software Configuration Manager Vs Forms&Reports 6i

I develope using Forms&Reports 6i, can I manage my source files (fmb, rdf, pll, text file, ...) with Software Configuration Manager?
Which is the best way to do this?

Fabio,
Most certainly. Not only can you manage the source code but you can also merge .fmb files and run dependency analysis against forms and reports to identify the impact of changes to the schema or application.
There are plenty of examples at http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/demos.html

David

  • Software Configuration Manager

    Our organization would like to use Version Control Tools for managing Developer 6i forms and reports. We would like to know of the folllowing:
    (1.) How can we procure the Software Configuration Manager (SCM) software? Is there a commercial version which we can buy and what is the cost?
    (2.) Does Oracle University offer Trainings in Version Control Tools particularly in SCM?
    Thank you,

  • Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

    Hi,
    we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
    For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
    Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
    - Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
    -- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
    -- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
    -- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change   Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
    - Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
    - Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we   release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a   'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
    When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
    We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
    Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
    My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
    But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
    Hope is the last to die...
    Thank you very much for any feedback,
    Regards,
    Jörg

    Thank you very much for your answers!
    @Pushkar:
    No this is not exactly what I meant;
    What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
    development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
    It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
    I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
    - the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
    - Branching / Merging mechanisms
    - the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
    - view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
    I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
    Thank you for further help,
    Regards,
    Jörg

  • Configuration Management in Forms 6i

    Hi,
    Is there any way we can use Oracle SCM (configuration mangement tool available in forms9i) with oracle forms 6i?? Or can anyone suggest any other similar tool for configuration management in Forms 6i? or is there any way wher tools like subversion be used for managing .FMB files which are inherently binary and lend these tools devoid of features like comparision etc?
    We have an oracle Forms 6i application which uses Oracle 8i server on backend. Currently there is no configuration management tool in use and because a huge development work ahead we are looking for options available. Oracle forms .FMB files being binary in nature cannot be efficiently handled be CM tools like subversion, CVS etc.
    Oracle SCM available with oracle form 9i is something we are looking for but cannot see we would be upgrading our app from 6i to 9i.
    cheers
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    If you use a tool like Subversion (or any other tool which is based on CVS), you will run into problems because the repository will attempt to merge the files. This, as you noted, does not work very well for Oracle Forms binaries.
    If you would like to stick with Subversion (or another concurrent access model), you can compile your Oracle Forms binaries as .FMT files (ascii text files) for use in the repository. This way Subversion can actually perform the merge on the files, although I cannot say how well the merged file compile.
    If you really want to store FMBs, you could either experiment with Subversion by locking each file or use a different source control program that does not support concurrent access (like rcs or pvcs). Then, you can perform any comparisons/diffs outside the source control repository.
    For comparison/diffs, there is an external tool called FormsMate developed by Jockvale Consulting, Ltd. which will allow you to compare two Oracle Forms binaries, producing a report of all the changes. This is very helpful for comparing say version 1.0 of an FMB to version 1.1 of the same file.
    Hope this provides some insight.
    - Steve

  • Is anyone using the Oracle Software Configuration Manager (SCM) feature?

    I would like to provide version control over my forms development process (check in, check out, etc). I see that there is a built in Oracle Software Configuration Management tool. Has anyone used it?
    Any pros?
    Any cons?

    Hi Daniel, it looks like Bruce has succinctly and accurately described configuration of the ImportManager step above (8/13).
    One thing I could add is that the Key Field for Manager ID field should be set to the LDAP attribute that contains the 'pointer' to a given person's manager.
    For example, given John Smith's sample LDAP record with the following attributes and values:
    givenName = John
    sn = Smith
    uid = jsmith01
    mgrUid = mmartin51

  • Anything in SAP that suits software configuration Management profile..

    Hi guys.....i am working as Software Configuration management engineer i want to know if there is anything in SAP (plz remenber my knowledge in SAP is zero!!!!!) that can add value to my domain.

    Thank you very much for your answers!
    @Pushkar:
    No this is not exactly what I meant;
    What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
    development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
    It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
    I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
    - the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
    - Branching / Merging mechanisms
    - the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
    - view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
    I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
    Thank you for further help,
    Regards,

  • Re: Container Based Software Configuration Management

    I've read the overview of Container Based Software Configuration Management and
    have to admit that it is a nice concept. In fact, our SCM product SiberSafe Expert
    2.0 (www.siberlogic.www) almost literally follows the guidelines mentioned in
    the overview except that we call it Component Management.
    SiberSafe recognizes the fact that most of software projects consist of software
    components that have been inherited from and are being reused in other projects.
    SiberSafe was built on the premise that it is critical to be able to version components
    consisting of multiple files and folders so that a new project can be created
    out of particular versions of multiple exising
    components.
    SiberSafe also recognizes the fact that various versions of various components
    may be distributed not only across multiple projects, but also across multiple
    lines of development (we call them "development streams"). This is why SiberSafe
    makes the propagation of new versions of components from their "home" streams
    into other streams where they are used and reused
    as simple as a mouse button click.
    When a few projects have a few development lines (streams) each and there are
    tens or even hundreds of software components reused across these projects and
    streams, it becomes pretty difficult to keep track of what went where and when.
    What is the version of a specific java bean that our project currently uses? Is
    there a newer version for that bean available? What verson of that bean do other
    projects use? In order to provide users with
    clear answers to this kind of questions SiberSafe automatically generates a visual
    development flowchart that graphically shows relationships and interactions among
    various components, component versions, projects and lines of development.
    In fact, SiberSafe can easily generate such a flowchart even for a single file,
    showing the full "travel" history of that file across projects and streams.

    All,
    There has been some uptake and some great feedback on rConfig since I made this announcement two weeks ago. rConfig is offically released as Version1 today. Please login to www.rconfig.com and download a copy.
    You know, it takes less than 1 hour to install rConfig on Linux and more than 2 hours to get some of it's well known commercial counterparts up and running. There is even a complete, easy-to-follow Linux build document designed especially for the rConfig installation on www.rconfig.com. You'll be backing up Cisco configuration and show outputs in no time with rConfig. And even learning a bit of Linux along the way.
    And remember, it's free & open source.
    Regards

  • Support for Software Configuration Management(SCM) Tools

    Hi!,
    I am using JDevloper for my project.
    I want to maintain the versions of all files in the project.Also,if all are using one Workspace on network and someone updates a file then message box got dispalyed asking for reloading buffers again.
    So to avoid this and maintain versions I want to use Software Configuration Management (SCM)Tools.So does JDeveloper supports for SCM tools?If yes kindly tell me how to use it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The upcoming release of JDeveloper (3.2) has support for SCM. In this release, support has been integrated with Oracle's own SCM product, Oracle Repository. In future releases, other SCM products (e.g. CVS) will be supported.
    When JDeveloper 3.2 is released (should be available at the end of Nov / start of Dec), the installation guide will have full details on how to install the Oracle Repository and use the SCM integration in JDeveloper.
    In 3.1 or earlier, a custom addin exists for JDeveloper that can be used to support SCM systems (see JDeveloper documentation on OTN). However, this is not as tightly integrated as the new SCM support coming in 3.2.

  • Siebel Software configuration management tool?

    Folks,
    Looking for any automated scheduling tool for Siebel Software configuration management. Any suggestions?
    In detail, I want to move all objects including DB tables, alter column, index, LOVs, MVGs, Workflow, SIF, SRF all via a automated tool that can be scheduled; accept all dependencies and install automatically from DEV to QA/QC, Volume Test to production with no manual intervention.
    Did anyone do this? Is it possible? What tool did you use?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your input. Now that I understand ADM's capabilities; I have one more question -- is there a tool that is built on top of ADM that can also schedule the moves -- i.e., say if I have to move all the objects say at 11:00PM; is there a scheduling tool that I can use? A higher level tool all GUI based so that this can be done easily -- with someone who has no knowledge of cron or others like? Actually in the past I was responsible for Oracle ERP and we used Kanata which has these capabilities and I am looking for a similar tool.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Software Configuration Management and Delivery

    A client of ours wants to use Designer6i for software configuration management. We set it up, got it working, and have demonstrated such to the client. Oracle's documentation states the one missing piece in 6i is software delivery. Designer9i is supposed to have this piece. I have been searching the documentation and can't seem to find any information describing how it works in 9i. I have read that Oracle believes it's there, but have not found any good examples of how it does this. Has anyone else tried this or found documentation they can pass along? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much for your answers!

  • From Forms Product Management - New Forms/Reports install option

    Oracle Product Management are pleased to announce the release of Forms/Reports Services only download and install option of Oracle Application Server 10g.
    This provides an option to the EE to install those components related only to running Forms and Reports.
    To download please go to http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/ and please feel free to post any comments.
    Regards
    Grant Ronald
    Forms Product Management

    I did create a posting on OTN almost a year ago asking if/when 9iAS light version (forms/reports/graphs only) will be available at a reduced cost.
    Oracle now announced (and also proved my claims that it was not a technical but marketing decision not to make forms/reports part of iAS a separate product) the separate download/install option for forms/reports services.
    My original posting attracked more than 100 folks (including Shay, Frank and Grant) but was not fruitful to convince Oracle to make forms/reports services a separate product targeted for the small companies, who might not need/use the rest of the 9iAS framework. I believe, seeing one side of the coin and enforcing your opinion by ignoring the cry of many others (including many ODTUG members) is not a wise solution for your existing small business and niche market (using Oracle db and tools for very specific purposes such as simulations, etc on intranets - and operating under strict security protocols not to open up to internet) customers.
    Grant and Shay repeatedly wrote on this forum and presented via whitepapers, etc. that forms/reports services are not fading away and it is a complementary solution to JDeveloper and emphasized that JDeveloper is not the replacement of forms/reports services. This news was very good for existing forms/reports developers.
    Given that forms/reports services is now separately available, why not making Forms/Reports Designer and Forms/Reports services (only) part of iAS a separate product? as Oracle did the very same with JDeveloper?

  • Software configuration management

    Dear Gurus,
    One of our customer wants to map Software code management into SAP or atleast link(interface) the configuration management tool with SAP. Have any of you worked in similar situation. Please throw some light on this area. Does SAP PLM have any relevant feature suitable for this?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Jirong,
    I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
    I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
    https://blogs.oracle.com/ebs_customization_management/
    In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
    You can find me in linkedin.

  • Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) and Software Configuration Manager (SCM)

    Hi
    Has anyone been able to install OCM(Oracle Configuration Manager, v 10.2.7) and
    successful upload new Software Configurations to Metalink 3?
    We have managed to download the OCM software (version 10.2.7), version 10.3.0 does not seam to be available
    although it is the default suggestion from the download manger for the
    "Oracle Configuration Manager Family" products.
    We have also been able to install the OCM software in out Windows 2003/Siebel 8.0 development
    environment. The connection to Metalink/Oracle configuration server even trough a proxy is
    looking fine. We even get confirm/success message for the upload.
    The only problem is, we don't event one day after doing the upload, see the new
    configuration in Metalink 3.
    Has anyone else been able to get this to work?
    Axel

    We got the configuration upload to work today and it did show up rather fast on Metalink 3. What we ended up having to do, was to install the software twice on the server once in the c:\sba80\gtwysrvr and once in the c:\sba80\siebsrvr directory.
    If you are behind a proxy remember to use the -p parameter when calling setupCCR.
