Two repositories in sync, checkoutallcomps

What is a practical method of keeping two repositories in sync?
We have two development repositories that we keep in sync for
foundational/framework components:
main development repository
prototyping repository (new and unusual applications/services)
The prototyping repository is kept synchronized with changes in
the main development repository by exporting a workspace with
IDs from the main repository and importing it into the
prototyping repository. In order to import the workspace we need
to check out all components in all plans/projects that are in the
workspace export file.
The problem we are having is that generated components in
Express-generated projects---these are the "<...>Base<...>"
classes---are not checked out by the fscript command
"checkoutallcomps". It appears that the only way to check out
all components in an Express-generated project is to check them
out individually with the fscript command "checkoutcomp".
fscript also does not appear to have any language constructs for
iterating over all components in a project.
Any ideas on the checkoutallcomps problem, or generally on
keeping two repositories in sync?

Ahh...Well this question about sync-ing Macs has been tossed around so much, the answer is down to you and which program you like the most.
I personally would suggest DropBox or Sugar Sync for your needs, as Chronosync can sometimes be a bit temperamental (in my personal experience). With both DropBox and SugarSync you pay for how much data space you need to store the data and a good option in it is that you and select what you want sync-ed from one Mac and where you want it placed in the other Mac. You can have it Bidirectional (both ways) or just one direction. And also you then have another Online Backup of your data so you know its safe. With both Sugar Sync and DropBox you get encryption so no one can (theoretically) get your data while it is being transferred.
I have tried both Sugar Sync and DropBox for a short period of time and they both are great for situations like yours.
Now for what you want sync-ing is again down to what you need, but as you want your documents and Lightroom lib. then you basically need to sync your Documents, Pictures folder and Music folder (if you want it). I am guessing you have Lightroom and Photoshop installed on both Macs (if so, there is no need to sync then Apps folder).
I personally no longer use a Sync method as I have set my Mac Pro up as a server so when out I can VNC and AFP back into it using a DynamicDNS host name. If you want to know about this option ask and I will explain in detail.
Hope this Helps.

  • How to merge two repositories using(MUD)

    hi all,
    how to merge two repositories using mude, for example i have sh rpd and paint rpd how to merge two repositories using Multi user development(mud), please don't give venkat forums link and oracle's training doc links.
    Is this possible? if it is possible please help me .
    Thanks
    Naresh

    Hi Naresh,
    What you could do is:
    1. do a ontime command line merge of both repository using the nqudmlexec tool
    2. In the mergerd repository created two project (sh and paint) and assign one bussiness model to each project.
    3. Make this the master repository for your MUD.
    4. Check the projects in and out.

  • Two separate iPhones syncing and backing up to one centralized iTunes library?

    Hi all,
    My wife and I have two iPhone 5s' and am wondering if we can sync and back these two separte iPhones to one iTunes library? The library is located on a NAS drive on a share just labeled Music.
    Ideally I would like to keep the two backups and syncs separately but have the ability to load playlists and albums from the centralized iTunes and iPhoto library.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ed

    This article covers what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    As long as the phones have different names you can set different sync settings for them in iTunes. However, if they have the same Apple ID for iCloud any iCloud content (mail, calendar, contacts, notes, reminders) will be duplicated. The way to deal with this is to have different iCloud accounts on each device, but use the same Apple ID for the iTunes & App Stores. This way you can share music and apps.

I can't disconnect at this time. Please help.I thought about using control. alt delete and stopping it. It says I will lose any unsaved data. The music appears to be in my library, so I should be safe, right? However even if that works and I can disconnect my ipod, why isn't it syncing? I have a 2nd one to sync as well. I am frustrated. Thank you!

    Thanks you for replying planb77! My husband got home and told me to just disconnect the ipod. It had been at least 12 hours by then, The music was in my library but not on my ipod, He had me shut down, unplug my computer, take a rest from it and restart. I reset my ipod following instructions on the itunes site. I tried syncing again and was successful syncing both ipods. I really think it was great of you to take the time to help someone else.

  • Keeping two machines 100% synced

    Here is my setup:
    1.  MacBook Pro with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (using a caddy in place of SuperDrive)
    2.  Mac Pro desktop with 128 Gb SSD boot drive and 1 Tb secondary drive (have additional drives in remaining 2 slots, but they aren't relevant to this)
    I use the MBP in the field when shooting video and photos to dump files, do quick views and minor edits, even some minor word processing if I am on a client site and need to generate a form, and email/web searches, etc.  At home, I will sometimes use the MBP for full editing in a secondary office.
    I use the MP for pretty much the same thing apart from the portable aspect.
    Here's my question/desire/wish:
    Is there a method or application whereby I can keep these two machines 100% synced once the MBP rejoins my home network?
    Example 1:  I store the video/photo files on the 1 Tb secondary drive of the MBP.  When the MBP arrives home, it should immediately start syncing those files over to the MP's 1 Tb secondary drive in the same folder structure.
    Example 2:  I install a new application on the MP.  That application (or files which the installer puts into place on the MP) get automatically installed or copied to their respective locations on the MBP.
    Example 3:  I begin editing a Premiere project on the MBP.  I save it, get up and walk to the other office and sit down at the MP and open the same project and pick up where I left off on the MBP.  And vice versa.
    Essentially what I am looking for is a "roaming profile" set up but with the redundancy of having two locations for everything, kept in total sync with each other, and reflecting changes as I make them, near simultaneously.
    Ideally, and to make matters even more complicated, I would like this same set up to work with an additional machine, my wife's iMac.  She shoots alongside me in the field and we could both dump our files into the MBP, do whatever initial work needs to be done, and then pick up at home, she on her iMac looking at her photos, and me on the MP editing video.
    I'm suspecting a possible solution involves a series of Automator scripts and folder actions, but I was hoping to find a more elegant, one-click idea.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Flame for requesting an entirely unreasonable feature?

    Synchronizing data between devices is a complex issue, and there's no really ideal solution. This comment is an oversimplification.
    Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
    Several other kinds of data can be synced via iCloud, such as calendars, iWork documents, photos, Safari tabs and bookmarks, and keychains. Some third-party applications can also sync with iCloud, but not many. iCloud is easy to use, for the most part. The drawbacks of using it are, first, that it doesn't sync everything; and second, that some of your private information will be in the hands of strangers. Read the iCloud feature list and privacy notice carefully before deciding whether or how to use it. There should be no privacy concerns with iCloud keychain, because the data is encrypted end-to-end and is not accessible to anyone at Apple—but you have to take Apple's word for that.
    A more comprehensive solution, and one that doesn't raise any privacy issues, is to set up an OS X Server on your network and create mobile accounts on your other Macs. You will then be able to synchronize all files in the home folder automatically at logout, or at any other time manually. The main drawback here is that OS X Server would be hard for most non-technical users to set up and maintain. Another is that the synchronization only works with Macs, not mobile devices.
    Third-party software such as Unison can also be used to synchronize files over a network. Unison is free, but it's not easy to set up in a way that doesn't lead to conflicts when files are modified on different devices between synchronizations. To synchronize more than two Macs in this way, you'll want to use one as the master, and sync between it and the others.

  • Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes and no.
    There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
    If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

  • When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

    when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

    The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
    Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
    the change to that one album
    play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
    Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
    housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
    Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
    So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

  • Can two Motorola E815s sync up to one family address book?

    Hey all, thanks for looking. Apologies if this is an obvious RTFM issue, but I can't find talk of it anywhere. There must be many couples with two cell phones who could/would share the same address book via bluetooth.
    Will our iBook G4 with Bluetooth sync the Mac address book onto two different wireless phones? That would be so cool. We use only one account on the Mac, therefore one address book (I think).
    We see the Motorola E815 has iSync, which kicks butt, and we're thinking of buying two of them. Thanks again for looking.
    If it can't be done, how could we decide who gets to Sync, and who must type it all in manually?

    David, nice to hear from you again, hope you are well.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    I believe you have duplicates because you have two sets of contacts. "iCloud" and "On My Mac". Once you have created all your contacts in the iCloud account, you should delete them from On My Mac.
    You can move contacts simply by dragging and dropping from one account to the other, you don't need to export them all to the desktop (although doind so will serve as a good back up if all goes wrong). You should note that this copies them though rather than simply move them, so you'll need to delete the old set when you are done.
    As for preserving groups from the On My Mac Account, you can't but you can simplify recreating them by copying contacts (drag and drop) from an on my mac group to an empty group in iCloud.
    Not sure about the contacts that you are struggling to move.
    Many aspects of iCloud are difficult to understand, have a mull through what I've said so far and come back if everything still doesn't fall into place.

  • How can I keep two macs in sync?

    I'm not referring to just syncing the files as I know there are services like dropbox available or file sharing. I would like to keep the mac at my office and the one at home automatically in sync. For example, if I make a change to a document at the mac in the office, the mac at home will sync the change as well. It's like working on the same computer but on two macs. How do I do that? Do I need a special program for this? Its so frustrating when I'm back home and all of sudden I need to drive back to the office to access a document. Thank you so much!

    POP accounts can be set up to leave mail on the server. Thus this mail could be accessed from several different computers.
    I used Eudora a while ago, and set up 2 accounts, one left email on the server, and one did not. I would normally check mail from the one that left it on the server (accounts like this on several macs). When I was ready to download the mail, then I would check it from the other account that existed on only one of the macs.
    So in Mail, you could set up for POP and leave mail on the server. Then when ready to download (and not be able to see mail from various macs) you could switch to another user account, where Mail would be set up to not leave mail on the server.
    However, iMap makes this whole process easier.
    Normally, iMap mail can stay on the server forever. But I do like to get my mail and store it on my Mac after an arbitrary period of time. So I have set up a smart rule in Mail.
    It is GET MAIL:
    if Date received is less than 10 days old
    perform the following actions: stop evaluating rules
    So every day the mail is received, and of course it is less than 10 days old, so the rules stop evaluating.
    When I am ready to download the messages I select all in the mailbox, and use command-option-L to apply the rules. Any messages less than 10 days old stay on the server, Older messages then follow the other rules which are listted after GET MAIL. Usually these just filter mail into specific dumb mailboxes on my Mac. And/Or they could color the mail, or whatever else I choose to do with the mail.

  • What's the best way to keep two hard dives synced?

    I've been looking at the best way to protect my data and I've learned a few things. My first thought was RAID but a bit more research showed RAID is not a fix-all. It has it's own problems and even if I use a RAID1 or RAID10 array (depending on the number of drives) a failure in one drive can actually set off another drive, killing multiple drives and still destroying my data. There are a few other issues I've seen, such as the way you need to manage a RAID system that don't overly appeal to me.
    So what I'm thinking now is two separate hard drives that are synced in some manner. Both of these drives are going to be sitting on the back of my iMac at all times so there's no real worry about their needing to be connected to back up. The question is how best to do it?
    So far my options are:
    Chronosync: Software wise, I know this can sync across drives and as such has been something that interests me. However, I'm not sure how powerful it is and I'm still curious about how I would have to use it.
    SuperDuper: Same thing as Chronosync, really, just a different piece of software.
    Rsync: To be honest, this is the one that interests me the most. I need to look into it a bit more I'm starting to think this might be a great choice for me. With some caveats.
    Basically, here are the things I'm going to use it for:
    Two 3–4 TB HDDs or RAID0 arrays.
    Storing of general project archives, images, documents, movies, music, that kind of thing.
    Possibly for system backup with Time Machine.
    Now, how I'd prefer it to work is:
    I keep both hard drives plugged in via FireWire cables.
    Ideally, whenever I edit, add or delete a file on one hard drive the change is immediately made to the other.
    Once the syncing is set up I never touch it again, don't have to.
    The only time I ever have to come back to it is if I'm swapping out one or both of the drives for larger ones.
    All of this is controlled by some sort of GUI
    I'm willing to accept terminal commands if I have to... But I'd really prefer not to. Also, if the syncing has to be done every hour or once a day or some other similar schedule I'm willing to accept that as well, though it's not preferred.
    So that's what I'm looking at doing. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

    True, it's not technically backup in the traditional sense. What I'm looking for is data protection and redundancy, which is a factor of backups. So in that sense it kind of is, but I see your point.
    Anyway, the reason I'm avoiding RAID is because:
    1. It can be a pain to manage.
    2. It's horribly inflexible.
    3. It's protection is limited.
    4. It brings it's own set of hazards.
    5. RAID arrays can be very expensive once they start getting complex.
    I will likely end up going RAID partially in the end simply because I have a 2 TB external and it's filling fast. I can grab a 3 TB now but I've heard reliability issues so instead I'm thinking two 4TB (2x2TB) RAID0 arrays that I sync.
    This gives me the benefit of RAID in a simple form, which bypasses the larger array complexities, while leaving me still fully protected and highly flexible. It also doesn't have the inherent risks of RAID because if one of the arrays goes down it will in no way effect the other.
    Honestly, I'm not worried about file changes. At all. I'm the only one who's touching the files (well, not true, but everyone else only has read-access). I also tend to not delete things (which is why I have a 2 TB drive that's filling fast). Expansion is my main concern and RAID expansion can be a nightmare unless you go for some of the more expensive systems that are easier to manage. With ease of management comes a hefty price.

  • How do I easily duplicate mailboxes tree on two systems and sync rules to function the exact same way on both systems? iMAC and MACBook Pro

    I have two Mac devices that I want both mail trees to be identical without having to manually configure each device....can I sync the mailboxes somehow with one machine being the master sync device via iCloud?
