Source Control continued...

Using the Repository hooks, one can trap workspace integrations and create
.cex and .pex files of the changed objects, which can be read into the SCM
tool. Right?
But how do you handle the situation where a class has been renamed? How do
you deal with all those other classes that have attributes that are of this
renamed class type? What if you want the full source code of 6 weeks ago,
before several big changes including class renames? Can you then recreate a
complete .wex file, where all the changes before 6 weeks ago are included,
but all changes since 6 weeks ago are excluded?
Is is perhaps more feasible to create a full .wex file every day, or every
week, and store that in an SCM tool? But then, what's the use of these
repository hooks?

It sounds like you simply store the whole repository file in your SCM. How
else do you store partitioning schemes, which can't be exported as far as I
know.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to take part of this discussion, as we developed a integration to
continuus configuration management suite
from continuus software. This integration goes beyond simple version control
system. It handles the software
issues as any other integration using the SCM-Hook. But it overs a lot more:
As Continuus overs as one of a few providers task based CM we support full
support of task based CM as
simple as it gets. The more we handle different releases of software
products.
The integration takes care of partition informations as well, so that with
your
sources the deployment information
and the application information is stored and can be restored any time.
Guess
you have to go back to a former
release of your product and you have released this software to certain
customers: You would like to restore your
software at that point completely, including partition information. We can
do
this.
But the best thing about this integration is, that you don't care about
retrieving your software out of the CM Tool manually
and place it back in a production repository. The integration cares for this
too. By a click you get a brand new repository
at any release you've integrated before and want to go back to as a manner
of
maintanance or merging.
Fell free to contact me, if you like.
We've choosen Continuus, because we know it a long time. Is very powerful
but
sometimes a little bit sophisticated
too. Nevertheless it overs a lot of things you would like to use, if you go
deep into configuration and change management.

  • "Project is not under source control" Prompt.

    Hello,
    When I create a simple dictionary type, I get a prompt "Project is not under source control", with following message:
    Could not check package name. Do you want to continue ?
    Yes/NO
    This started happening today as I started working on a new DC.
    I am not using NWDI. My workspace contains about 10 projects, all are closed except the one I am working.
    Is it ok if I ignore this message ?
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    Hi,
       You can safely answer "Yes". This message means that the wizard could not ascertain whether the namespace for your package has already been reserved or not.

  • Adding a Weblogic Portal from source control

    I am using Weblogic Portal 10.3.2 and Eclipse 3.5.0. I can successfully create the EAR and portal projects, deploy them, etc. No problem. If I try to copy the projects to another computer or check them into a source control system and check them out on another computer I get the
    "Portal Application Services web application should be associated with a Portal Application Services EAR for proper deployment"
    and
    "A WebLogic Portal web application project should be added as a J2EE module to a WebLogic Portal EAR project for proper deployment" error messages.
    I did a directory comparison between a portal project that does work and one that doesn't; they are identical. The only thing I can think of is the ".metadata" directory is different, but this is huge, 1000s of files, over 100 MB.
    Has anyone seen this? Any idea of what the problem may be?

    Hi
    The reason for this error is most probably the portalEAR project is not associated wtih the portalWeb project. For any portal application, we must have a portalEAR and a portalWeb project and portalWeb project should be associated with that portalEAR project.
    For your existing and original working portal application, check the .project file in textpad located at: ...\user_projects\workspaces\Your_Workspace\yourPortalEAR\.project. The top contents will be like this:
    <name>myPortalEAR</name>
    <comment></comment>
    <projects>
         <project>myPortalWeb</project>
    </projects>Once you checked out and added them to the new machine and new workspace, check the same file. If not, after importing from CVS or source control, open both portalEAR and portalWAR in Workshop IDE. Select your portalEAR, right click mouse -> Select Properties -> From properties window on left side, select J2EE Module Dependencies and on right side check the check box corresponding to the portalWeb module. NOW you may need to do this everytime.
    Usually this is what I do, if I want other team members to get my portalApplication (EAR, WAR and DataSync project) or to check into source control. I DO NOT check-in or Export individual modules. Instead I Export them as single Archive File.
    From Workshop IDE, on left side right click -> Export -> From Export Window, Expand General -> Archive File -> Click on Next. In this window, select all the 3 projects on top left window ie. EAR, WAR and DataSync (if you have one). Then give a valid filename for this ZIP file something like myPortalEARZip.zip etc. Then click on Finish. This will create a big single ZIP file. NOW you can checkin this ZIP file or give to other team members.
    Now other team members will open Workshop IDE. Left side rigjht click mouse, select Import -> From Import Window, Expand General -> Existing Projects Into Workspace -> Click Next -> Select the radio button named Select Archive File and hit Browse and choose the above .zip file. It should list out the exising projects from this zip file. NOW mostly you may have to delete the exising same projects from this Workspace before you Import. Then follow the steps and you should get all the projects into your workspace. Do clean build etc.
    There may be some other simpler approach, but usually I follow the above proceedure. If you want to continue your existing procedure, then manually link portalEAR with portalWeb project.
    Thanks

  • Why does LabVIEW8 popup error message after i use Visual Source Safe as its sourc control?

    i'm trying LabVIEW8.0 trial version now. and i set Visual Source Safe as its sourc control, just setting like following picture.
    but since then, LabVIEW8 always popups error message dialogue even when it starts up.
    it confuses me, for it runs well while i use LabVIEW6.1 before.
    following is some message dailogue.

    hi, smercurio…
    i've tried your way. but it doesn't work. :-(
    but your idea helps me. i've tried some times and it's OK now.  thank you. :-)
    here are my steps. ( is it right? )
    1. start LabVIEW.
    2. Tools >> Options >> Source Control.  select source control provider name as my microsoft VSS.  no error message.
    3. Then set my source control as None. a warning dialogue popup, "You have selected not to use any source control provider". Yes to continue.
    4. exit LabVIEW
    5. edit LabVIEW.INI. delete the part of source control. ( like the attached picture).
    6. Start LabVIEW. and reset the source control as normal.
      Bingo! it's OK. :-)

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

    While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
    'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
    'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
    <SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"

    Explanation:
    DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
    'i' stands for INSERT,
    'u' stands for UPDATE,
    'd' stands for DELETE.

  • Can i use subfolders with source control for developer ?

    We'd like to use the repository as source control for our developer files.
    We planned to use the following structure in the repository:
    - Application Container
    - Folder
    - Files
    We uploaded the files in the repository.
    Now if we open the file through the ron the file will open in form builder, which is pretty good.
    The following thing I'de like to do is a checkout of the file ... ok ...i'm going to file - administration - checkout - the message occurs: no versionable object exists ! ... ? :-(.
    So I go to file - administration - source control options .. i'd like to say forms that it has to look for the file in a subfolder of the application system .. ok.
    After changing this i try again - the same message.
    If I return to source control options the container entry has been changed to the application folder.
    Are Subfolders not supported by the source control for developer ?
    Does anybody have the same effects ?
    Background informations ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

    We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH.  Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally.  Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control.  The files are still set to read only.  I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files.  It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end.  While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
    This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1.  RH8 works no problem.  So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem.  Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area.  I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
    It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control.  If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control.  That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
    We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view.  No useful answers to that topic after a week.
    Got any ideas???
    I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
    Thanks,
    dv

    Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control.  It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out.  Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl.  Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control.  Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere.  This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

  • Multi-authoring with source control with RH10 and RH11

    Situation:
    Writer A is running RH10. Writer A opens Project A, from Visual Studio Source Control, which is connected to a Team Foundation Server.
    A new employee, Writer B, has been given RH11.
    Writer A can't install RH11 until after mid-June because of tight schedules (can't afford any upgrade problems).
    Writer B is supposed to work on the same Help project. (We know that RoboHelp does not support checking out the same file at the same time.)
    If Writer B configures her version of RH11 to work with TFS and Source Control, can she open Project A and work on it (from Source Control) without causing problems for Writer A?
    Thanks.
    Carol Levine

    If Writer B is not using Source Control or it is competely separate from Writer A, possibly but I still would not be comfortable.
    I think I would rather upgrade Writer A and I note your reservations. It's your call but it's like being between the devil and the deep blue sea. Neither is ideal.
    So far it looks like Rh11 upgrades have been OK.

  • How can I add a Website Project in a solution that should be excluded from source control?

    Using VS 2013 update 4
    I currently have a solution with a couple of Class Library Projects and Web Application Projects and all of these are bound to a source control (VS Online). Now I added an Existing Website Project in the same solution by choosing a Local IIS instance. However,
    I don't want this Website Project to be in source control.
    I have tried File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control ... and then clicked on the website project and then clicked Unbind. By doing this, it seems that the project was unbound. However, as soon as I close the solution it asks me
    to save the .sln file and seems that it restored the Scc*** info in the file.
    I also tried editing the .sln file and set the SccProjectEnlistmentChoice* = 0 (of the website project, under GlobalSection) and then set the ProjectSection of the WebsiteProject to 
    SccProjectName = ""
    SccAuxPath = ""
    SccLocalPath = ""
    SccProvider = ""
    instead of "SAK". This actually worked for me but everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio alerts an error saying "Unspecified error". This is the closest I got into solving this.
    Is there a proper way of doing this? I think the proper way should be the "Unbind" method but it seems that it's not working as expected.
    Let me know of other solutions.
    Cheers!

  • 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.

  • Can teamcenter community be used for source control?

    I have this new tool called teamcenter community and I'm trying to see how well it will work with source control for labview. I haven't learned how to use it fully yet, but when I try to open a vi get the error message:
    The document could not be opened for editing. A windows SharePoint Services compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
    I'm using 8.5. Is this a feature that was added to a more recent environment.
    Is this feature a possiblity? So far I've been able to use it to manage file, but haven't had success with folders.

    Steve:
    Unfortunately, teamcenter isn't supported in LabVIEW (past or present). A full list of supported clients is located in this KB. While it may be possible to use other clients, there hasn't been any testing done with them, so they may very well not work with LabVIEW.

  • How to use a 3rd party source control tool with RoboHelp?

    Hello,
    I would like to set our RoboHelp users up with source control.  They are using RoboHelp HTML 8.0.
    Our software developers are using the AccuRev scm system; I'd like the doc team to use AccuRev, too.
    Can someone direct me to RoboHelp documentation that explains how to set up and use a 3rd party scm system with RoboHelp?
    Thank you,
    Marilyn

    It appears that RoboHelp 7 only sees the first SCC provider listed in the Windows Registry and ignores the rest. I was able to get RoboHelp to display the File | Version Control menu for SourceGear Vault by setting the following two Registry keys and removing keys for other SCC providers (SourceSafe, Surround SCM, and others I am evaluating).
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider
         ProviderRegKey = \Software\SourceGear\Vault Client
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders
         SourceGear Vault VS2003 Compatible Client = SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client
    If I create a new RoboHelp project, save it, then select File | Version Control | Add to Version Control, RoboHelp does the following:
         - pops up the Select Version Control Provider dialog and displays SourceGear Vault Classic Client.
         - I select that, check "Make this my default selection" checkbox, and click OK.
         - RoboHelp crashes.
    I'm using SourceGear Vault 5.02 under Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. A search of the SourceGear Vault knowledge base reveals that they do not support RoboHelp because of its incorrect behavior and instability. It's so sad that RoboHelp can't work properly with industry standard SCC providers. Vault is by far the best SourceSafe replacement out there, and very affordable.

  • Steps to export B2B Project and Source Control.

    Hi,
    I need steps to export a B2B project for source controlling it and deploying the code to higher environments.
    Right now the coding is done in DEV , We want to push it to TEST.
    Thanks for all the help.
    Regards,
    Sid.

    Documents which we have created newly will also be exported, provided it is part of the agreement.

    First time all "export-import". Every change - incremental export and import
