Source Code Management

Hi
I am busy designing a new Java environment for our company. We are migrating from Forms to JEE. I would like to know what would be the best practice (if one exists) wrt source code management. Currently I am going with the following,
1. All original source code saved on development application server (Linux).
2. Use SVN to manage source from development application server.
I am not totally convinced that this is the correct method of managing source code.
What are my options?
Should the source be placed on a seperate file server independant of my application server?
Kind regards.
Leon.

Development servers is used to be quite unstable sometimes so I would prefer to store the SVN repository on some kind of file server, where a file backup procedure is already implemented. If you're using some kind of cruise control or automatic testing you could checkout the source code to the development server to run it from here or to build distributions.
I'm familiar with both CVS and SVN and think that SVN is serving us best. We're just using a file based repository, on a network drive, protected by the normal file system permissions mechanism. I'm almost always using Tortoise SVN as client but the SVN client in JDeveloper is just fine, but I think the Tortoise SVN plugin in the explorer is just better.

Source code managements problems

Hi all.
I work for a coperation that mandates the use of a particular source code management software, MKS. They are moving to another solution soon, so it doesn't make sense to write an extension for it.
My objective is to use MKS to manage source changes as a standalone tool, while using JDeveloper to modify and debug application code.
I also have a requirement to put all runtime code into MKS as well, so that a complete runtime build can be performed from within any project sandbox and deployed (No 3rd party installations required). This would include jdeveloper jar files and compiled objects from other MKS / Jdeveloper projects.
So far, I've discovered that the JDeveloper project libraries are referenced by full pathname, including drive letter. This means that each develeper sandbox directory must have the same root path and drive letter or each projects libraries must be maintained seperately. Neither I think is very pretty. Is there a way to use relative pathnames?
I'm also wondering how many other problems I may encounter as I proceed. What is the intended model for supporting concurrent development using standalone source code management?
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Keith.

Yes.
The issue comes into play when developer A may be developing on c:\jdev and developer B may be developing on d:\dev\3m\jdev. I would rather not have to mandate directory structure standards for the parent directories.

Managing Flex source code: alternatives to NWDI?

Experts, can you please share with me your experiences with source code management tools for your Adobe Flex applications? Our development team has handed off a very nice application to the maintenance group, but unfortunately no forethought into version control and team editing.
NWDI is fine if we just want to zip up a project and store it in a central repository, but we really want a good tool that we can manage individuals tasks, merge changes and work concurrently in a save environment.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We are using SubVersion Repository for version management of Flex projects. Its really good and easy to use.
You can install Subversion repository.
And then You can download plugin for Subversion for Flex Builder, install and start using it.
Alternatively, you can use Perforce also. From few people who are using NWDI, we got to know its better to use Perforce than NWDI. AS NWDI uses component based projects.
Hope this helps!

JDev Source Code Versioning Support

Does JDeveloper2.0 provide support for source code versioning?
This would be useful at the project level. If there isn't built
in support, are there any NT-based source code management
applications that can be tied into JDev2.0? Thanks.

HI,
Can I use the Generic version control system with CVS on a unix
system. When I tried, I was getting some odd problems. JDeveloper
was hanging without responding.
TIA

Souce Code Management

Hello -
We user Oracle Tools and technologies for development. Oracle Forms, Reports, SQL Files (DB Objects), Discoverer, Portal, JDeveloper etc.
We use very old version (10 years ago) of MKS source Code management tool and have not upgraded to latest versions.
Wondering what is out there in Oracle world for reasonable cost. I do have a huge list from the next
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revision_control_software but wondering what should we go with.
Any suggestions?

We use cvs (concurrent version system) easy to handle and works well. Integration to Eclipse available...

Manage table function's source code in OWB metadata

Hi all,
please I would like to know if it possible to code a table function in OWB's metadata.
I'll try to better explain myself; I know how to use a tf in a mapping but I also would like to manage the table function's source code in OWB metadata repository.
It appears you cant code a table function as procedures/functions: there's no ref_cursor as input , no pipelined option and so on.
I'm workin on 10.2.0.4 OWB repos.
Any information will be appreciated, thanks.
best regards, David

... you are right. You cannot write the code of a table function inside owb. You must write the table function external and create it in the database. In owb you only can call the table function.

Database source code control or version management

Hi all,
I work in a data warehouse development project, where database schema changes form majority of development work. As a development DBA I look after ensuring that all the database schema changes are version controlled properly.
We currently use CVS as a source code control system. We can use CVS well enough where stored procedures, functions and packages are involved. But when it comes to table definitions, we are finding use of CVS bothersome.
Hence I would like to know, which tool are you using for version control of schema changes. Any links to best practices on DB version control would be much appreciated.

I think Oracle have introduced something in 11g for version control. Also you can use third party Software like ERWIN. You can also explore Oracle Data Modelling software which is Beta currently.

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

How to read the Java source code (in Netbeans)

I use OS X10.5.5, NetBeans 6.1 and JSE 6 on a 64 bit mac.
When I downloaded NB6.1 it had JSE 5 as it's default (and only) java platform. I ran Software Update to get Java 6 from Apple, used the Java Prefrences utitlity to set JSE6 as default. In NB I added the JDK6 platform, registered the JDK6 javadocs and noticed that I also have the option of registering the Java source code.
I have three questions:
1) How do I make JDK6 the default in NetBeans. The JDK5 keeps being default after I did the steps above and I don't see anywhere to change that.
2) How do I read the Java 6 source code? I can see sun provides [source code| http://download.java.net/jdk6/] for their supported platforms. I dont see Apple doing the same for its JDK port. What would I need to do to get to read the java SE6 sources? or is it actually hiding somewhere in the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home hierarchy?
3) Where does the JVM look for the binary code to run when I make a call to, say java.util.ArrayList or any other library. In my naivety I would have assumed it would be a .class file somewhere in the java Home folder, but I don't see anything like it.
thanks in advance,
chris

This is taken from the help included with netbeans. In response to question 1.
By default, the IDE uses the version of the Java SE platform (JDK) with which the IDE runs as the default Java platform
for compilation, execution, and debugging. You can view your IDE's JDK version by choosing Help > About and clicking the
Detail tab. The JDK version is listed in the Java field.
You can run the IDE with a different JDK version by starting the IDE with the --jdkhome jdk-home-dir switch on the command line
or in your IDE-HOME/etc/netbeans.conf file. For more information, see IDE Startup Parameters.
In the IDE, you can register multiple Java platforms and attach Javadoc and source code to each platform. For example, if you
want to work with the new features introduced in JDK 5.0, you would either run the IDE on JDK 5.0 or register JDK 5.0 as a
platform and attach the source code and Javadoc to the platform.
In , you can switch the target JDK in the Project Properties dialog box. In , you have to set the target JDK in the Ant script itself,
then specify the source/binary format in the Project Properties dialog box.
To register a new Java platform:
Choose Tools > Java Platforms from the main window.
Click New Platform and select the directory that contains the Java platform. Java platform directories are marked with a
in the file chooser.
Use the Sources and Javadoc tabs to attach Javadoc documentation and source code for debugging to the platform.
Click Close.
To set the default Java platform for a standard project:
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Project Properties dialog box, select the Libraries node in the left pane.
Choose the desired Java platform in the Java Platform combo box.
Switching the target JDK for a standard project does the following:
Offers the new target JDK's classes for code completion.
If available, displays the target JDK's source code and Javadoc documentation.
Uses the target JDK's executables (javac and java) to compile and execute your application.
Compiles your source code against the target JDK's libraries.
If you want to register additional Java platforms with the IDE, you can do so by clicking the Manage Platforms button.
Then click the Add Platform button and navigate to the desired platform.
To set the target Java platform for a free-form project:
In your Ant script, set the target JDK as desired in the javac, java, and javadoc tasks.
Right-click the project's root node in the Projects window and choose Properties.
In the Sources panel, set the level of JDK you want your application to be run on in the Source/Binary Format combo box.
When you access Javadoc or source code for JDK classes, the IDE searches the Java platforms registered in the
Java Platform Manager for a platform with a matching version number. If no matching platform is found, the IDE's default platform is used instead.

Real-Time Application doesn't run; source code works fine

The short version is I'm programming a cRIO and apparently the RT code isn't running after being deployed and I can't figure out why. This is further complicated that I'm doing all this remotely and I don't have direct access to the unit since I'm 500 miles away. I'm working through a couple of other guys who know some LabVIEW, but neither works at the site so they have to explicitely travel out there every time I have a bright idea.
I was out there a few weeks ago. During this time I created a simple cRIO code, since I'm new to cRIO, that allowed the user to move a control and change a graph. It worked fine, but I should note it did not have an FPGA component. After that I worked on the real code, which reads some sensors, displays the results on a UI and logs the results. This did have FPGA. I used it in the LabVIEW environment and it worked fine, but I ran out of time before I could complete a release version and deploy the RT as a compiled application. I sent them the release version later, my contact deployed it but got network stream errors when running the UI.
After hours of looking at network problems and sending over debug versions, I tried creating a log on the RT level so I could see what was going on. The log doesn't even open, even if it's the first command in the code. I pored through the forums and found http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/cRIO-Troubleshooting-creation-and-deployment-of-startup/td-p/1956475... which took me in a new direction.
I had my contact use the RT debug console and when he pulls up the RT front panel, it shows a broken run arrow. He clicks it and nothing happens -- no running, no bug list. If he pulls up the bug list manually, it's empty. Again the RT works fine if you run it through LabVIEW and not as a compiled real-time application. He also noticed that the Open FPGA VI was grayed out on the block diagram. No other icons are.
So the problem appears to be that the compiled RT application is getting some kind of error but not telling me what it is, and it seems to be related to opening the FPGA. I've recompiled the FPGA and RT. I've had him recompile the RT himself, but not the FPGA because it would take hours. He's downloading everything correctly to the cRIO. The RT is set to run automatically. He's rebooting the cRIO every time he deploys the RT. They have LabVIEW on a computer there but it doesn't have the right drivers to run the code from the LV environment. I'm resisting having them install the dirvers because downloading big files is complicated there due to security restrictions and a lousy network connection at a remote site. Besides that doesn't solve the problem of the RT executable not running the same as the source code, which according to the thread above appears to be a thing.
The latest thing I'm trying is that I sent him instructions for how to build a source distribution from the project I sent and try deploying that to the cRIO. Even if that works I'm not sure that's an acceptable solution because I assume running the VI rather than the EXE is slower, and they need speed on this project.
I simply have no idea where to go from here. I probably need to get direct acess to the cRIO and I might be able to convince them to ship it to me so I can figure this out, but I'm not sure where I'd even start other than the standard voodoo debugging of "try stuff at random until something works". I'm open to suggestions if anyone has managed to solve this before.
Code snippet of the first part of the project is attached, though I'm not sure how much good it will do. I'm really stumped and the client is getting frustrated with how much of the budget is going to fix this.
Solved!

Have you checked the cRIO error log? Usually I'd access it through the LabVIEW project (right-click on the target, don't remember the exact menu options and I don't have the RT toolkit installed on this machine to check), but it must be stored somewhere on the cRIO as well, although I don't know if it's in a human-readable format.
Which cRIO are you using? What exactly do you mean by "debug console"? (This may be related to the cRIO - the newer ones have video out, although I don't know if that's what you're referring to.) With a broken run arrow, you won't get an error list unless you're running in the development environment.
Have you confirmed that the software installed on the cRIO matches the version you're using for development, including patch level? Get someone to connect to the cRIO with Measurement and Automation Explorer, and get a list of the software installed on the cRIO.
Sounds like the ability to connect with a remote debugger would be helpful here, if you can get the right drivers installed on the machine with LabVIEW that's connected to the cRIO. Make sure all driver versions match what you're using. Any chance you could then do a remote desktop connection from your work site to the remote LabVIEW machine?

Selecting multiple images to edit the source code

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to select multiple
images in a table and change there source code. The reason why I
ask is that I recently decided to organize my assets folder by
adding subfolders. Naturally, this makes my images appear as broken
links. It's a pretty big site that I'm working on and I would like
to know if there is a faster way than just selecting them one by
one.

If you would have created the folders within DW itself (file
management), and moved images from one
folder to the other, the links would have been adjusted
automatically. Carrying out changes like
this outside of DW will create broken links as you have
found.
Did you backup the original site, if so, and have a lot of
broken links, it maybe worthwhile, going
back to the original and use the file management to
rename/create new folders and move your assets
that way.

SMP 2.0 gm Source Code

Hello,
I would like to request the Strobe Media Playback 2.0 source code.
I saw a demo page for SMP 2.0 gm and I need its source to embed some plugins.
I found the source code of OSMF and the source code of SMP. I found the 2.0 version of OSMF but for SMP there are just up to 1.6.
Even in the SVN repository there is no Tag for the 2.0 version.
Do you know where I can find it?
Thanks in advance

Ok I got it. I managed to find the versions of the OSMF source codes and I did some tests.
That SMP 2.0 is actually SMP 1.6 with OSMF 2.0
Best.

Problem with registering Parser - Recompiled source code, don't see any changes

I had created a parser. I had register this parser with Ifs Manager. I had execute this following statement to see if been registered carefully:
On user ifssys/ifssys
sql)select name,stringvalue,bundle from odmv_property where name= 'p01';
I see my parser....
select name from odmv_propertybundle where id=1139;
ParserLookupByFileExtension
All it's ok. I upload a file with a 'p01' extension with option 'parser' on my Internet Explorer. All work fine.. My parser work. But I need to do some changes in my code. I update my code, recompile my code. My class file have been updated. After my parser (.class) file have been updated I upload a new file with parse option. I don't see any change I do in my code. Why??? How I can update my parser to view change. I have only recompile my code an place my new class files on the same directory. I have try again (change on code, recompile, test) and I don't see any changes.
But I have test by change my classname. My classname before is Test1 and I have rename my classe by Test2. I have compiled this code and a file Test2.class have been generate. I have update my register parser with Ifs Manager to use the new classname Test2. I have chack with sql statement to see if my parser have been updated. I have been updated correctly. I have upload a new file with parse option and I see my change on my code..
Do you have some explanations about that??
How I can update my source code of a parser already registered to the parser take the change I do.

Ok, but they have another manner to resolve this problem. If I upload a file with parser option on Windows Nt explorer (Using SmbServer or WcpServer). How I can update the class file into the JVM? I need the restart this those server or just one? If just one which server I need to restart?

Project setup - what's best for source code versioning?

We're about to start developing a new portal and are wondering what would be the best directory structure. It's important to decide at the beginning because we're using CVS version management for our source code (we are currently using it for our ADF development).
Are there any issues related to directory/package structure? With ADF, we had problems when we wanted jsps from one application to call those in another application. To get around that, we had to put all of our applications within the same jdeveloper "project".
I'm keen to hear any suggestions - especially if you work in a multi-application environment with concurrent development etc.
thanks,
M

Since I don't have a Canon, I don't know the specifics of how to ingest media for that camera. But FCE does have the ability to log & transfer AVCHD, as I have done this with a Sony HandiCam and my Lumix GH-1.
The codec that FCE transcoded to, was AIC, Apple Intermediate Codec. FCE is 'fine' if you are not using 24p frame rates, as there are no 24p sequence options. (You can use 24p in a 25p timeline... but broadcast engineers will gnash their teeth on such botchery.)
This may or may not be an issue.
On the 'problem' of 'wyrd things happen when I whip pan my camera'... well, yeah... There are some industry standards about how fast objects should move across the field of view to avoid artifacts.
The "whip pan", namely quickly pivoting the camera, will produce strange imaging. While the technology and image formation is different, so the artifacts are different, but even for 'film film' there are limits.
One rule thumb I've run across is an object should take at least 5 seconds from one side of the screen to the other. Faster will result in artifacts, strobing, or in the case of digital cameras, 'rolling shutter' issues.
The motto of the day is... "Know thy camera"...
There may be filters to minimize or save the day if needed, but it is just better to shoot correctly in the first place...

View Source code

Gurus,
I have a Schema APPLOWN that owns the application objects (tables,pl/sql objects,etc.). Like wise I have seperate schemas for BATCH,WEB,LOAD & DEV
The APPLDEV is the developer schema where the developer can use it for querying tables.
Now, How do I enable the developer to see the PL/SQL objects source code that are owned by APPOWN? What kind of grant am I missing for APPLDEV user?
Please help.

grant execute on APPOWN.procedure_name to APPOWN;Even allowing for the typo this is not necessarily the correct approach. this allows the APPDEV accounts to run the code which is different from merely seeing the source code. Bear in mind also that being granted EXECUTE on a package allows us to see the source of the package spec but not the body (this is wht pacakages are so good for security).
So the question becaomes, if the account is not allowed to execute the code why should it be allowed to see the source? For developers the answer is presumably "to understand what the code does".
The correct approach is
(1) Decent documentation. Notice that I managed to keep a straight face when I typed that
(2) having all the code in a source control repository. This is good practice anyway but does have the advantage that people can eyeball the code without changing the database privileges (which is desirable).
In the absence of those two good things the third option is for SYS to create a view like
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW appown_source AS
SELECT * FROM DBA_SOURCE
WHERE owner = 'APPOWN'
GRANT SELECT ON appown_source TO appdev
/Cheers, APC
