Version control for PLL

Hello everybody!
I have a question:
Is there a version controlling program like CVS and SVN that support Oracle PLL files?
Because PLL files are binary and CVS and SVN can't recognize them to find difference between before and after you change the file.
Something like Oracle SCM for Form files.
Thanks in advance

What a great solution,
Thank you very much

Right tool for Configuration Management (version control) for Jdeveloper

All
Please share your idea and exepeience about right tool for Configuration Management (version control) for Jdeveloper Development. I used CVS in the past. Now In new company we are planning to use Oracle SCM. Is anybody used it before for Jdev Developmet ( BC4J/ADF and Struts project). Is SCM also intergrated with Jdev just like CVS.??
Jdev Team please guide us.
Thanks

Before you go with SCM you should read these two papers:

Version Control for BUSINESS OBJECTS repository

Hi,
Do we have any version control for business objects repository?
Thanks

Hi
I am hoping someone can answer my Version Control queries. The LCM document is limited in its detail on VM.
I am currently testing the BO LCM 3.1 and while it appears very easy to use especially for promotion, the Version Control Manager seems to be lacking in controls and a clear promotion path from dev to test to uat to prod.
We have set up 2 identical environments for UAT and PROD.
And using the Version Control part of LCM creating version control for a universe.
Logged into VM in UAT
We have selected a universe
Added it to VM
Made a change to the universe in Designer
Exported it
Then Checked it in
Can now see 2 versions in the history and the VMS Version. All good
I then click on swap system and log into PROD
The VM history is also there in PROD
I have a number of concerns and questions and can't seem to find the solution to them anywhere.
1. VM seems to be lacking a controlled process from all the environments. Basically we want to deploy following this path;
Dev - Test - UAT - PROD
There does not seem to be any controls or security which would stop you from GET VERSION from the DEV environment and putting that straight into PROD. Obviously we would not want that to happen.
We would only want to GET VERSION from UAT
Similarly for UAT We would only want to GET VERSION from TEST
And for TEST We would only want to GET VERSION from DEV.
Granted, we currently only have 2 identical environments.
But Is there controls that would stop you when in PROD from getting versions from any other system other than UAT?
Also is there any reason why no promotion is required when using VM.
This seems to negate the Promotion Function of the LCM
Any advise would be greatly appreciated with this.
Many thanks

Need help writing script to change version control for all document libraries in all sites

Hello,
I found this script, http://get-spscripts.com/2010/10/changing-sharepoint-list-settings-using.html that
changes versions control for a document library. However, many sites have many document libraries with different names. The script below just changes a the settings to a document library that is named "Shared Documents", but does not
change one if its named something else. How can change the script to loop through all document libraries so their settings are changed?
$site = Get-SPSite http://site
$listName = "Shared Documents"
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb |
ForEach-Object {
#Get the list in this site
$list = $_.Lists[$listName]
#Create a version each time you edit an item in this list (lists)
#Create major versions (document libraries)
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
#Create major and minor (draft) versions (document libraries only)
$list.EnableMinorVersions = $true
#Keep the following number of versions (lists)
#Keep the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorVersionLimit = 7
#Keep drafts for the following number of approved versions (lists)
#Keep drafts for the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit = 5
#Update the list
$list.Update()
#Dispose of the site object
$site.Dispose()
Paul

Sorry, I agree. It will update Style Library and other out of the box ones. Include the library titles in a collection and run the update against them provided these libraries are common across all sites. If not, you will have to first get an extract of
all such libraries in all sites say in a CSV file and then update the script below to refer to the CSV records.
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction Stop;
#List of Libraries to be updated.
$Libraries = @("Shared Documents","My Document Library");
$spAssgn = Start-SPAssignment;
$site = Get-SPSite http://site -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn |
ForEach-Object {
#Enumerate through all document libraries
$_.Lists|Where{$_.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary" -and $Libraries -contains $_.Title}|Foreach-Object{
#Get the list in this site
$list = $_;
#Create a version each time you edit an item in this list (lists)
#Create major versions (document libraries)
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
#Create major and minor (draft) versions (document libraries only)
$list.EnableMinorVersions = $true
#Keep the following number of versions (lists)
#Keep the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorVersionLimit = 7
#Keep drafts for the following number of approved versions (lists)
#Keep drafts for the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit = 5
#Update the list
$list.Update()
Stop-SPAssignment $spAssgn;

Version control for applications

Can someone point me to resources on version control for (web) applications.
I read some documentation at cvshome.org, what I understood is that I need a Server that handles version control and a client to interact with the server to do various tasks.
I have windows 2000 pro. OS. Can someone tell me what all tools I need so that I can use version controlling for my applications.
What (free) servers and clients are available and which ones are better.
Thank you all for your time and information

CVS is one of the best version control systems, free or otherwise.
The for-fee leaders that I know of are PVCS, M$ Visual Source Safe, Rational/IBM's Clear Case. All three will require a server and separate clients.
CVS is a great choice for any kind of app. Stick with that.

VERSION CONTROL FOR PO

Sir,
I have activated version control as well as fields relevant for po but it is not reflecting
ply help me how can i reconfigure it
regards
amey

Hello Amey,
Pl. activate version control for PO in SPRO. Steps are as follows
SPRO/MM/Purchasing/Version Management/Set Up Version Management for External Purchasing Documents then Add new entry for the Purchase order document type and respective Purch. organisation and put a tick in the text box.
This would solve your problem.

Version Control for Oracle Reports and Java

Hi
I have a Reports and Java development enviroment and I need version control for both. In JDeveloper there is only support for CVS and SVN. Does report have support for CVS and SVN?. What can I choose to offer Java and Reports version control?

Hello,
You might find neXtep Designer helpful, depending on what you need. It is a free database development environment based on the concept of version control. You will work in a dedicated version control repository in which you can import any existing database through reverse synchronization. Once imported, you will gain control over the lifecycle of your database model all along your developments. The tool will generate SQL scripts resulting from the delta between any 2 versions, allowing you to automate SQL generation. It also provide a delivery mechanism and an installer program which can automate deployment of the changes on a target database.
The product is based on the Eclipse platform and provides features like graphical data model, dependency management, SQL clients, powerful SQL editors for stored code development and currently supports Oracle, MySql and PostgreSql. You will find more information here :
http://www.nextep-softwares.com
Also have a look at the WIKI for more detailed information about the product, the concepts and the reasons why we created neXtep.
Hope this helps,
Christophe

Version Control for OSB Proxy/Business Services ?

Dear all
I've used the browser-based osb console to expose a legacy web-service as follows :
1. Create a Session
2. Create a BusinessService based on the legacy web-service WSDL
3. Create a ProxyService based on the BusinessService WSDL
4. Activate the Session
I now have two further questions :
1. How do we version control the OSB "code" ? (we use Subversion for other code)
2. How do we implement it in other environments (TEST, PROD, etc.)
Thanks,
Peter.

>
Are there other reasons why you say it's not the most ideal way of development ?
>
Versioning binary files is always a pain. You can't compare them, you can't merge them ... Another point, if you put your jar archive with OSB artifacts under version control, you will most probably face issue related to end of line styles (mac, unix, windows).
However, the most important point is usability. I want to version .proxy and .biz services to see right in IDE that I changed something and I should check that in for the others. I don't want to risk that I forget something. And I also want to see what other users committed, what sources they work on ... You loose all of that by versioning jar file. I would never go this way.

Version Control for adobe forms

Dear All,
We have a situation where we already go live with version 0 of our adobe form. Now, we have an enhancement to the form i.e.: some new functionalities and new field. Previously we have tried to transport the new changes to the production without any version control and those processes that have been already started prior to the new changes encounter error when the user continues the process.
I am wondering how do the version control works and any documentation on how to configure it?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Brian,
Here is some information that I found in the IMG on Create ISR Scenario...
Create ISR Scenario
Use
In this IMG activity, you create an ISR scenario that has a one-to-one relationship with a form scenario. To be able to use a form scenario in a process, one ISR scenario must exist for each form scenario. The ISR scenario and the form scenario must be linked with each other. You make this setting in Customizing for HR Administrative Services in the IMG activity Link ISR Scenario with Form Scenario.
In the form scenario, you define primarily the basic set of form fields and their processing through the backend services. In the ISR scenario, you specify the definition of the user interface. You also specify which form is used for the display and how the layout of this interactive form is designed. You use interactive forms based on Adobe software to create and process the forms.
ISR scenarios and form scenarios are version dependent. The version numbers of the ISR scenario are assigned automatically. Note that a form scenario must have exactly the same version as the linked ISR scenario. For this reason, you should always create a new version in the ISR scenario first and then use the same version number when you create a version in the form scenario manually.
Note
If an ISR scenario or form scenario (with an existing version) has already been used in a productive process, you should not change the configuration. If you want to make changes to a process or an ISR scenario or form scenario, you should always create a new version, and only ever use that new version in the future. In this way, processes that have been started can be concluded with the old version and new processes can be started simultaneously with the new version.
This is from the Create Form Scenario documentation...
Create version
Form scenarios are version dependent, which means that there is at least one version of each form scenario. Versions are linked with processes. Since processes can vary, you must also be able to adjust the associated scenarios. To be able to provide different forms for process variants, you create versions.
You can still process and change an existing version at a later point in time. Once a version has been used to execute a process, you should not make any more changes to this version; instead, you should create a new version.
The form scenario and the (linked) ISR scenario are both version dependent. They must always have exactly the same version numbers. Note that the version number of the ISR scenario is generated and cannot be entered manually. When you create a new version in the form scenario, you therefore have to use the version number generated in the ISR scenario.
If you have already made extensive Customizing settings for the form scenario and want to create a new version based on the settings, you should use the IMG activity Manage Form Scenario.
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Kevin

Version control for FH files

For the last 2 years I've been using a subversion system that
works very well with FH files. It does basicly the same as
VersionCue but works with a lot of file formats (not Flash 8 btw)
My setup is like this:
- File server at my home studio (just a win machine with RAID
5 disks and mapped network drives shared on my home network)
running Win XP Pro (backup done every 24h)
- a workstation running TortoiseSVN on Win XP Pro (it becomes
a shell extension in Explorer)
my simple system:
- I create a version repository in my project folder on the
server
- I check out a working copy of the file(s) I want to work
with to a local folder or a dedicated disk partition as I do
Whenever I save my changes I commit these changes to the
repository with a text comment
Icon overlays tells me the status for each file and folder
under version control
Whenever I get a file corruption (it happens with FH files) I
just check out a fresh working copy from that last commited
version. You can of course revert to any previous version at any
time or create branches out from one main design.
The best thing is that I'm able to review my change log
without opening a lot of files and revert to previous designs
without keeping a lot of different files, and of course being able
to resolve problems with corrupted FH files with minimal loss.

I started version control on 01/14/2014.
As you can see below I modified several topics. When I opened the RSC database and did a history on any modified Topic from 01/14/2014 to a date in the future, it always said there was no difference. In the past it always showed there was a difference and what the difference was.
I have started and stop version control several times hoping that would resolve the problem. Right now I am not using version Control.
I will start version control again.

"version control" for Oracle database?

Hi,
My work involves loading data from csv files into database tables. The data structure is different in the csv files than that in the tables, so the loading is not straight forward and I often make mistakes along the way. I would like to know what the best practice is for undoing mistakes and rolling back to meaningful point back in time. To make this more concrete, consider the following scenario.
10:00AM I start loading some data into the database. I create two external tables for my csv files.
10:30AM I create a PL/SQL script to insert the data from the external tables to the target tables.
10:35AM I run the PL/SQL script and commit the change.
11:00AM I notice a bug in my script: some of the data is loaded incorrectly, and some are not loaded.
11:15AM I fix the bug, try to run it again but it fails this time because of unique constraints.
At this point, I want my database to go back in time to 10:00AM, so I can start over. How can I do this?
12:00PM Suppose I manage to start over and successfully loaded the two csv files. I still have more files to load. Before I proceed, I want to somehow "tag" the database so that I can go back to this state later (say two weeks from now, and the rollback segment isn't large enough to go back two weeks).
Currently I use data pump export/import to undo mistakes on my development server. Due to the size of the database, it is not as efficient as I would like. I am from a Java developer background. The scenario sounds a lot like source version control to me. Is there such a thing in database land? What's the best practice for doing rapid try-error-rollback cycles?

Is the data in the external tables sorted by some attribute? Consider keeping a small metadata table indicating the last successful key of the attribute that was committed. Then, after the commit, set a Savepoint (use the attribute key value for the savepoint name) and continue execution. If you find an error before your next commit, you can rollback to that savepoint and not lose all of the updates prior to it, but remember that a subsequent commit erases all savepoints you have set. Flashback of the table(s) is also a good idea. You can get the current db commit no. by executing 'Select current_scn from v$database' (you may need privs to read this table from the dba), and then executing 'Flashback table <table_name> to scn <scn_no>'. You can also use a Timestamp in place of scn_no with the Flashback command.

Version Control for Application Express

Hi all,
We are using Application Express (HTML-DB) 2.0 with Oracle 10g Release 2. We have developed a number of pages within our application (basically sales reporting). We are starting to get ready move these pages to a test and production environment.
Before we move to a production environment we need to implement a version control and migration (development -> test -> production) system. I have read various posts about importing and exporting pages and applications that have been very informational. However, I am still not clear on certain areas, any help/information on the below questions/comments would be helpful.
1.     How are other people implementing version control? For some of our other environments (for example, PeopleSoft-SQR) we use Visual Source Safe. Can we use this along with Application Express or is there a way to keep track of versions within Application Express it self?
2.     I see you can view a pages history at Home>Application Builder>Application 107>Page Definition>History. Is there a way to view the differences between the pages or to revert back to an older page?
3.     I know you can export a single page but that leaves shared components behind that might leave the complex page in a non-working state if imported and installed in the production application. Is there a way export and import shared components, for example LOVs?
These are a few of the questions I havebut I thought it would be a good place to start.
Here are a couple of links that have given me some information related to the topic.

How do people version control HTML DB applications?
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas on this topic.
Thanks,
Stuff

Stuff - this is also something we've been grappling with.
Did you see the excellent tip about using Web server (or PL/SQL) redirects to point to the current app? The idea is that you copy the current prod app, work on the copy and then update the redirect to point to the new app when it's released and make the old app unavailable.
This is quite brilliant in its simplicity, and has the added benefit of leaving the old app intact for bug fixes and re-releases, (or even rollback) if necessary. However, the problem with it, and the reason it's no good for our purposes, is because it sits on top of the same schema, so if the version control applies to objects in the database (i.e. the schema itself or packages etc.), then you're snookered (as far as I understand it anyway).
In a previous project, our suppliers used VSS and versioned code at the app and function/procedure/package level - I'd love to know if anyone has a robust scheme for versioning at page level.
I suspect History is an audit trail rather than versioning - I can't imagine that all the objects in all their respective states are being persisted for anything other than 'undo' purposes.
Versioning at page level seems to be problematic but it can be done, provided that the shared components are sufficiently consistent. The trick is to edit the security group ID, but the usual caveats apply.
What seems problematic to us is how to create a build out of components at different versions, like you might in a conventionally-packaged exe. I think we might end up checking in (or just saving in the file system) consistent versions at app and package level (having developed and tested in a separate schema or instance), and doing an overwrite of the prod app plus running a DDL script for package/function/procedure updates with schema deltas and other things like image uploads applied manually at cutover.
I suspect that once I delve a bit deeper into where all these objects are stored, there will be more potential for scripting, but I'm not entirely confident that this will, reliably, give us entirely what we had in Pre-Prod. Another problem I've found with this approach is that packages don't get consistently replaced.
It may simply be that we're applying waterfall concepts to what is really a RAD tool, but in any case this is my first Web-enabled development so I've been at sea with everything from design methodology to version control.
Like you, I would be really interested to hear of other suggestions.
Regards,
John.

Version control for universes and reports

Post Author: Steven
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi All,
We're running BO Enterprise XI R2 and I'm looking for ideas which will allow me to version control updates to my universes and webi reports. We've got a large development team and we've been caught out a few times with overwriting each others updates.
Is there a way of doing this with XI R2 or are there any integrated 3rd-party software tools which provide this functionality (that you'd recommend)?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Satya,, this can done easly throw some a third party product i used before, only with one single click
drop me an Email and i will discuss this with you.
