Version control and configuration management

How is version control and configuration management done for iPlanet6 web
and app servers?

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you are asking. Neither iWS or
iAS have built in version control or configuration management. But
pretty much everyone integrates them with version control or SCM in some
way. Ranging from the complex (say integrating iAS and Interwoven) to
the simplistic (using CVS to track HTML documents or source code).

Version and Configuration Management in Oracle Portal

Hello ...
How is version and configuration management applied to real-life, large Oracle Portal applications, where e. g. both development, test, and production environments are used?
The build-in version management in Oracle Portal is inadequate for such environments.
Any suggestions, opinions, ... on this matter would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Poul

In my opinion, Portal has a lot of work to do in terms of configuration and change management. If you are using Portal as an application platform, as opposed to KM, you are better of developing java portlets, so that you can use the SCM with JDeveloper and stay away from the application components. If you do want to use the components, then application export/import is the only way. You can setup your own procedures for handling the exported files (version etc).
You don't really version KM apps. Content is meant to be posted and otherwise administered by content area admins and users. It is not a "application", that must be change managed. There are versioning features available at the item level, which is adequate (but by no means a complete versioning system. Use iFS if you want that).
I have heard quite a few horror stories about exporting and importing content areas.
A 3-system Portal landscape, in my opinon, is overkill and trying to fit an existing approach to a new tool. A test/dev and a production Portal might be more palatable to the IT budget.

Version control and deployment strategies

Hi,
I was looking for input from the community on general
strategies for using version control and managing deployments to
test/stg/production.
Currently, I am using subversion to track my source code, and
using the standard flex builder build routine to produce my binary
output and test. My output is stored locally on a shared vmware
drive, so that it can be served up with a linux vm running apache
(this is not dissimilar to just local testing)
Now I'm getting ready to deploy to some remote testing server
though, so I'm trying to think of the best way to go about it. I
would like to tag my code in svn with a release tag, as is my
practice in other platforms. Should I also store the bin folder in
svn? Should I check in the resulting binary code independently in a
separate repository/directory and then tag it there? Should I
create a new build target to deploy directly to my testing server?
The issue with the tagging approach seems to be that if I
want to rebuild the code or redeploy it for any reason, I would
have to checkout the tagged code in a separate directory, import it
as a new project, rebuild and then redeploy.
If I checked in the tested binaries into a separate
repository/folder, I could always just do an svn export for
deployment, but I'm not sure if that would cause any weird issues,
and it seems a bit wasteful. I suppose I could build from the tag
and zip up the resulting release and just make it available via
normal download, but it seems that I would likely then have lots of
working directory checkouts as flex builder projects for each tag
or release, just so that I could rebuild from them....doesn't seem
very elegant.
I'm very interested in hearing any feedback on this. How do
you do it?
thanks,
Cliff

flex with ant is still not very very popular
combination,since FB does all for you anyways, but I have to say
ant is lot more flexible, especialy if you combine it with FB, ant
can do pretty much anything, ...
here is link about flex's ant tasks
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=anttasks_1.html
most of the projects I have done in Flex were with ant,
here is general approach:
for internal testing I let flex builder build and deploy
within integrated tomcat,this is also where I do debugging, FB is
pretty good about that.
then I have following targets :
build target - builds optimized version of flex app, only
using library classes that are needed by project, also using that
to feed my Modules building tasks so that they exclude all class
references (like Button, Tabnavigation etc... ) from their compiled
units,
something like this (this is my old fb2 example) i don't have
fb3 example handy right now :
quote:
<mxmlc file="${basedir}/main.mxml"
debug="false"
optimize="true"
output="${dir.web}/main.swf"
show-binding-warnings="false"
show-actionscript-warnings="false"
link-report="${basedir}/docs/my-links.xml"
use-network="true">
<load-config
filename="/configdir/modified/flex-config.xml"/>
<source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
<compiler.library-path dir="." append="true">

tag -target tags release based on parameter of latest tag
plus number increment I configure in properties file.
Utility targets :
classpath target - builds classpath string for compc task.
commit target : commits source code, before building.
resources target - copies all resources files to build
directory,
deploy-local target- deploy to local Integration server
deploy-remote target deploy to remote uat server.
test -target - run test cases over classes and generate
report.
and of course all famous asDoc target :)
good thing is that you can create "ant builder" under project
properties and chain your targets with flexbuilder's build
commands,
you can also easily integrate with build servers ( I use
hudson)
here is example :
http://hudson.amostudio.com/
MR hudson checks out code for you, builds it using ant
targets you tell it to use, and reports to you, its pretty cool and
very handy to always have active build proccess over codebase, of
course in some cases its overkill, but most of the times, MR hudson
is good to have.
unfortunately all my ant files are for external clients I
cant disclose them, but I can write blog about some general (apples
and oranges) example, hhm that's actually good idea :) I can shake
off some stress as well :)
thanks for the idea :)

Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs

Hi,
We are looking at implementing the Oracle Change and Configuration Management packs.
I would be very interested to hear from anybosy who is currently using these packs.
I have done some preliminary tests, and am getting what seems like a very simple error, but i am at a loss as to how to fix it.
Will respond to replies with exact error and scenario.
thanks in advance.
melvyn

Hi Nayab,
We are looking to implement the change and configuration management packs, to automate our change control.
As part of my initial testing i have the following scenario...
I have three database (namely TEST_DB, QA_DB and PROD_DB) all configured and manageable in EM.
I have create a sample test schema in TEST_DB with tables, views, sequences, procedures and triggers.
Using EM, i am able to transfer the sample schema (with all objects) from the TEST_DB to the PROD_DB.
If i manually create the sample schema in the QA_DB, i am able to transfer the sample schema from the QA_DB to the PROD_DBm using EM.
When i try to transfer the sample schema from the TEST_DB to the QA_DB i get an error in the synchronization phase.
The capturing of the baseline, and the dictionary comparison phase complete successfully, but when i do the synchronization phase, i get
the follwing error...
SQL> ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
This seems strange because, it must have been able to see the destination database for it to complete the dictionary comparison phase, so
i cannot understand now why it cannot connect to the destination database to complete the synchronization phase.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Melvyn

Version control and multiuser access on one project

Hello,
I have a question is there a tool from National Instruments or a third party supplier, with which I can controll the programmed versions of the LabVIEW Code and makes it possible that more than one person works at one time at a project.
Best regards
TED

Ted,
Please refer to the discussion topic (...LabVIEW>LabVIEW General>Topics...) regarding Programming guidelines. There is a bit of discussion in that thread about source code control and project management.
This is a very difficult subject to learn, especially when applied to LabVIEW coding, as all the information out there is strictly limited to text based programming.
I suspect (I know for a fact...) that there are materials in the works that would pertain to this exact subject. Keep your eyes on the NI website under reference materials that may speak of such subjects.
Good luck

Integration Services 2012 - Parameters and configuration management

Our organization has implemented the project deployment model and it works great! It helps has helped us standardize deployment and configuration management. The big plus for us is the fact that we can now run reports on all SSIS
package configurations. There is one challenge though that we have come across. We haven’t found a good way to reuse the same ssis package while passing different parameters from different jobs and still be able to keep the configured parameter
values for each job documented in SSIDB; if you configure each job to pass different parameter values to the same package, the parameters are actually saved under the the job step’s command. The challenge is that there isn’t a clean way to retrieve
those parameters from msdb, unless someone out there has been able to? We need to retrieve the configured values to be able to build a report on all jobs and packages which contain all configured values. This makes our jobs easier when troubleshooting
a problem.
The only work around we have found is to simply create two different packages, one for each job. I have a problem with not being able to reuse a package from a conceptual stand point. I am sure there is someone out there that has come up with a
good solution. Can you please share it?
thank you,
Juan.

Oracle Service Bus Configurations version control and deployment automation

Hi,
Currently we have OSB10gR3 installed and we use the web based sbconsole to create projects and proxy services. It's all working well and good!!
We are at the state where we need to think about source control, migration of artifacts from dev to test and to prod.
I'm looking for pointers to version control the artifacts of OSB projects, what could be version controlled (no binaries) and how do we extract those artifacts?
How do we customize those artifacts while migrating to different environments in an automated fashion?
Please point me to best practices and gotchas that we should be aware of while dealing with deploying OSB proejcts from test to Prod.
Thanks in Advance!!

After reading the threads mentioned by Deba, I'm able to get this all worked out with SBConsole itself. Experts, please review my approach below and let me know if I have overlooked anything.
Simple advantage I see in using sbconsole is that it requires less maintenance, i.e. avoids rolling out another IDE (Eclipse -Workshop plug-in) to IT developers and at the same time provides the functionality that we are looking for. Currently, JDeveloper is our primary IDE, so we thought it's best to wait till OSB development gets integrated into JDev.
This is the deployment workflow which worked for us,
Developer:
1)Develops Proxy services using SBconsole in Dev environment.
2)Creates sbconfig.jar by using the export functionality available in System Administration link in sbconsole
3)Checks-in ALL the files present in the above jar into version control under the proxy service project name
4) Creates customization file using the customization file link in System Administration and modifies the value for each environment i.e. creates two files test_customfille, prod_customfile
5)Checks-in the customization files into version control under the same proxy service project
Promotion to Test and Prod
1) From the source control, service proxy is built (actually the jar file of all files including the custom file is created)
2) SCP proxy_sbconfig.jar file to Test or Prod box
3) Follow the steps mentioned in Auto deploy of ALSB/OSB artifacts - Proxy, WSDL and webservices...
4) Depending on the server, test or prod, pick the right customization file and deploy using ANT.
Thanks!!

Forte and Configuration Management tools

Hello everybody,
We are starting here a project with Forte. It will involve about 15
developers on two sites one in France and one in Germany.
Among other starting tasks, we have been considering using a Configuration
Manager tool connected to Forte. With the Configuration Manager we want to
do version control of the developed code.
Thus we have been experimenting various simple solutions to make backup /
recovery using the plans / workspaces / repositories of Forte using simple
techniques (FSCRIPT scripts + UNIX scripts). It has not been so obvious to
go around the checks that FORTE makes when it "compiles" a plan and when it
"integrates", assuming the public interfaces of some code have changed.
We came to the conclusion that restoring an old "version" of the code of an
application is almost every time a significative task which involves system
administration. One clean way to do it (at least the one we have identified)
requires the creation of a new repository, its loading with the version to
be restored, and from now on developers must use that repository. This
implies that an overall coherent set of code is restored, in fact the entire
application under development. No piecewise restore of let say just a
project, or a class. The backup is simply made by exporting a workspace that
includes the top most plan of our application, and thus automatically all
the supplier plans.
I have read in some articles that there are some experience somewhere of
using Forte with some CM tools of the market; furthermore is it true that
version 3 of Forte will come (link to ?) real and exhaustive functionalities
for CM ?
We have experience here on CCC which has been used on "classical"
development projects. We have some knowledge on ClearCase.
Among other things I expect from a CM tool :
* the ability to see the differences between the various versions of a piece
of code (here a module, there a "plan"), so "what has changed".
* management of checkout : who has checked out what and when.
In addition, cooperation between a CM tool and Forte needs that the CM takes
over some functions of Forte (eg, checkout, integrate, import). Is there a
way to hook "exits" into the Forte workshops ? These exists could then be
shell scripts linking with the CM tool.
I am very interested in discussing the matter more in detail.
best regards,

Version Control and Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hello-
I want to install version control on both a shared Bluehost server and a dedicated Hostgator server, sites on both I manage with DW CS5.5.
I've read the help articles but it seems they are targeted at installing svn on your local machine, and I want to install it on my remote servers. I realize this is not a Dreamweaver specific question but wondered if there are any obvious paths to this someone might know of.
I do have svn installed on my bluehost server, but haven't yet been able to figure out how to set up a repository there yet. So when I do
svn --version, it shows me all the version info, indicating it was successfully installed, but I haven't been able to set up a repo yet, via ssh. Can this be done in DW or do I have to get it done via SSH on the server first, then set the path to it in the version control tab of the site set up/management tabs AFTER I accomplish setting it up via SSH on the server first?
Thanks very much in advance...
Laura

So here is where I am with it if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it:
Hostgator tech support helped me get it back to 1.7.5 (no explanation for how it became 1.6 after I installed and verified 1.7.5, odd)
So here was the interaction but I'm still (stupidly I'm sure) stuck:
From tech support:
You *should* be able to communicate with a SVN 1.7.5 server with a svn 1.6 client without issue.
1) When I run svn --version on your , I show version 1.7.5:
[~]# svn --version
svn, version 1.7.5 (r1336830)
compiled Jun 28 2012, 22:37:11
Yes, the user and password for SVN must be set up within svn. Here is a brief outline of setting up a repository.:
First, create the repository:
svnadmin create ~/myrepository
Edit the configuration file for the newly created reposiroty:
nano ~/myrepository/conf/svnserve.conf
Add the following, presuming you want no anonymouse access and write access for authenticated users:
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
Open up the passwd file to create it and ready it for editing:
nano ~/myrepository/conf/passwd
Add your password to it like so:
exampleuser = examplepassword
Import your project to it (if any):
svn import /path to your project/myD5project file:///home/juicyserveradmin/myrepository
Start and daemonize the svn server:
svnserve -d
You should now be able to check out your project from DreamWeaver.
4) SVN typically runs on port 3690. Port 2223 is your SSH port. If DreamWeaver allows your to connect to SVN via SSH, then it will be over port 2223 - in this case you would need ot provide your SSH login credentials.
What I'm still stuck on:
I added the repo as he said, ~/repos
I added two users/passwords to the file (not sure how to confirm I did it right though)
I'm stuck on this step:
svn import /path to your project/myD5project file:///home/juicyserveradmin/myrepository
Here is how it's set up now, if you could help me think through what makes sense I'd really appreciate it.
I've got my live site, example.com
We've been doing all of our development work live on the front end which is of course a terrible idea and constantly causes issues where problems are showing up live.
So i set up dev.example.com which is within the main example.com directory called /dev and as a subdomain.
I also set up /dev2 the same way.
The only difference is that /dev is set on cron to have all of example.com main files copy to it once a day, so it stays more or less in sync.
/dev2 is not being synced that way.
My idea was then I've got two dev folders we can do work in, one that syncs and one that stays static.
I want to have svn working for all 3....the live site, the /dev and the /dev2.
So would I need to create repos in each of those 3? Or just one repo? file names would be the same in all three so it seems like there would need to be repolive, repodev , repodev2 or something like that?
I want the same user/pass at the moment for all 3.
Then I'm back to not quite sure how to set that up in DW, and, what to import into each if that's the best way to do it?
Also I was confused about the path command above.
In the scenario above can you create that path for me to see exactly how I should paste it in if I do three repos, if, and please tell me, if doing it that way even makes sense?
For DW server settings, is the sever address the IP address of my dedicated server?
And I'm not sure what to put for Repository Path given the questions above.
Thanks again for your patience and help...
Also:
I see from this link
http://civicactions.com/blog/2010/may/25/how_set_svn_repository_7_simple_steps
That I would maybe want to set up different directories within the /repos directory for the three versions of the site, live, dev and dev2?
I'm still confused about the format of the path.
Would it be like
svn mkdir file:///nameofmyhomedir/repos/live
svn mkdir file:///nameofmyhomedir/repos/dev
svn mkdir file:///nameofmyhomedir/repos/dev2
Where I want the directories to be named live,dev and dev2?
Can you correct that path for me if that's not quite right?
I do see in DW now for my local site that I've got + next to all the files after setting up the Version Control server, but, because I don't have the path to the repo right I guess or the server address right...it says it can't connect:
Access: Subversion
Protocol: SVN
Server Address: My IP address?
Repository Path: Not sure if I did ~/repos what the full path to it on my server is?
Server Port: 3690
username/pass what I set up in the file according to his directions.
Can you steer me towards dialing this in right pretty please?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Lightweight Version Control and/or IDE ?

Summary:
I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for a light-weight version control system ? A light-weight IDE would also be of interest (more advanced than TextPad, less complicated than Eclipse).
I would have stuck this in the IDE forum, but it seems their isn't one.
Details:
Previously, I have been doing my Java development using a text editor (TextPad), and doing most everything manually. I like this approach, because I understand everything that is going on.
I recently ventured out in the hopes of implenting version control. Going with what's popular, I set up CVS on my Linux server and access it using Eclipse on my PC. I would just continue using TextPad, but I like how Eclipse provides a nice GUI front-end for CVS functions.
Unfortunately, I've found the whole CVS/Eclipse setup to be buggy and convoluted. I still don't have CVS set up quite right. I can't seem to tag anything with a version, and I still don't know how to properly set up access privelidges (for simplicity, I ended up using chmod 777 on all CVS directories and files).
This whole setup seems to require intricate Linux, CVS, and Elipse knowledge. Now, instead of working on my Java application, I spend most of my time trying to better learn Linux, CVS, and Eclipse. Progress on my projects have ground to a halt. Every problem I encounter requires hours of research to resolve, and it often results from not understanding the complicated inner workings of one of these insufficiently documented products.
In the end, I really just wanted some version control for my software with a user-friendly GUI front end. I have no wish to be a Linux expert, or a CVS expert, or an Eclipse expert. I just want to be a user, so I can get on with doing my real work -- Java programming.
<rant>
I find Linux in particular to be especially difficult to grasp. It's not that the O/S is complicated. It's that materials for learning are sub-par or nonexistent. The Linux community, as well as many other software communities, like to think of themselves as part of some elite club of experts they don't want others to join. To perpetuate this, there is a general lack of tutorials, GUIs, or helpful information of any kind. Take "man" for instance, the worst help facility ever created, which has never been improved upon.
This would all be okay if I could simply use the non-existent CVS installer to install and configure CVS. But no, I have to do it all manually, from setting up the CVS server in xinetd, to editing the cvswrappers file (why is this not set up from the get go?), to changing iptables to allow CVS connections through the firewall. Simply trying to figure out how to set an environment variable is an exercise in frustration the first time. It took me probably an hour of research just to figure out that I needed to edit the file "profile" in the "/etc" directory because such information is not nicely documented anywhere.
</rant>
Conclusion:
Ideally, I would like a SIMPLE version control system that I can just run on my Windows PC. Something with a GUI preferably, as managing large numbers of files from a command prompt is tedius. Likewise, a light-weight IDE, something less complicated than Eclipse, would also be of interest to me.
Also, if you have any recommendations for a good Linux book, that would also be of interest to me. Such a book would probably be tailored to a specific flavor of Linux since each flavor uses different tools. I currently use Fedora Core, so a Fedora Core book would be preferable. I think I am probably stuck using Linux for a server, as my copy of Windows NT Server is hopelessly outdated, and Windows Server upgrades cost thousands of dollars I don't have (why don't they have an educational version of Windows Server?). I still regret spending thousands of dollars the first time.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Imho, CVS is a rather simple version control system, though I wouldn't want to access it using IDE plugins as they hide a lot of functionality. For an alternate frontend, have a look at WinCVS (www.wincvs.org) -- it's not that buggy.
You could also try subversion as a replacement for CVS, but afaik, there's no reliable and comfortable GUI client available yet.

Are GRC Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management separate?

Are these 3 different modules that you have to purchase separately or are they included in one suite?

Hi Anne,
If you are refering to GRC Access Controls 5.3, Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - All 3 are separate.
A new version of GRC 10.0 has been launched which is currently in ramp up. This has all the above 3 in one suite.
Thanks and Best Regards,

How to install and configure management agents on Tru64 Cluster

We are busy rolling out the Oracle 10g Grid Control to our enterprise and one of our targets is a two-node Tru64 cluster with shared file systems, i.e., each node can see (read/write) the file systems concurrently. Trucluster software is responsible for the clustering management.
On node1 we have a set of databases each with its own dedicated listener; the same for node2. Each cluster managed service set has its own logical hostname. For example, we have on node1:
db1 (database)
listener-db1 (listener for db1)
node-db1 (logical hostname for db1 service)
Upon switchover or failover, the database and listener are brought up on node2 and we need to cater for this in our management agent configuration. I am trying to work out how we install and configure the management agents in such a configuration. Has anyone done this or does anyone know how to set up the agents suitably?
I have already installed the agent on one of the nodes - that worked fine, and I have even managed to start another agent up using the installed software home on the other node using "agentca -f"

You the Cluster type of configuration. It is documented in the install guide you have

Flash player 10.1 Help ( ActiveX control and Download manager)

I've been trying for several hours to download the new flash player 10.1. I tried everything in the FAQ and still nothing. I tried un-installing the older version that I had (9.3.3),   and still nothing.Then when the download manager gets to the end of the download, it keeps saying Error: Installation failed but Adobe Air was still able to download so the problem is obviously flash 10.1. Then it tries to finish installing it and when its done it says that it couldn't register ActiveX control and that error 19166 occured. I already enabled ActiveX so I dont know what the problem could be.
Help would be appreciated and could someone explain what error 19166 is and how to register or install activex
ps. I had this problem a while back but somehow I was able to download flash version 9.3.3, so even if I can't download 10.1, can someone give me a link to download version 9 instead.
