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.
good Luck

  • 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,

  • Best practice for version control B2B, ESB and BPEL

    Hello,
    we are setting up a new system using B2B, ESB and BPEL. The development team is more experienced working with PL/SQL, Oracle Workflow and we are worried that Jdeveloper generates changes to the source files during development and that we might have problems with the version control.
    Is there any best practice for setting up version control for these systems? Do we need to take anything in particular into consideration when setting up the projects?
    We are using Serena Dimensions 9.1 for version control with the add-on in Jdeveloper.
    Thanks in advance!

    I believe JDeveloper has a plugin for Dimensions.
    I havent used it but to get it, go to tools (It may be help I don't have JDeveloper on this machine to confirm) check for updates.
    If you select the thrid party check box - next, you will see an entry for dimentions.
    Configure the connection and develop as you would any other project.
    cheers

  • 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

  • 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:

  • 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 databases, schemas, objects

    Dear All,
    I'm looking for a designer tool with version control abilities. I don't need to have many types of models, if it's able to do ER and version control, plus it has a command line interface then it's fine. (I need to automate everything, so installing schemas with one click or with one command shouldn't be a problem.) The funny thing is that I've already built such environments with SVN and VSS, but now I need a reliable product with such features. (I don't like Designer, so that one is out of scope.) One more thing: it has to be able to store parameters of objects for example: PCTFREE, PCTUSED, TABLESPACE, etc.
    I'm looking forwrad to your help.

    Released in April 2008, Oracle SQL Developer 1.5 is the "Version Control" release, as it includes integration with open source version control products, CVS and Subversion.Supporting the version control is a File Browser to browse and read files stored in the file system. You can open and edit these files from within SQL Developer.

    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.
    With regards.

  • SSRS 2008 R2 Calendar Control not working and report not refreshing on pressing enter in Chrome.

    SSRS 2008 R2 Calendar Control not working and report not refreshing on pressing enter in Chrome.

    SSRS reports are always best viewed in IE and the report result what you see in IE always will not be same and consistent in thirdy party browswers.
    So consider using IE as workaround.

  • Version mgmnt for RFQ and PO

    Dear gurus,
    pls explain about version management for RFQ and PO
    pls explain in detail

    SPRO –> Material Management –> Purchasing -> Version Management .
    After activating version management you can see the Version tab in ME53N near to source of supply tab in PR.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/46/882fdd8bfc1743bd5ef8b532f94402/content.htm
    SAP Enterprise Buyer provides you with version management for purchasing documents. As a first step, you can display versions of purchase orders and contracts.
    The system creates a version in the background if you, as a purchaser, carry out one of the following actions:
    · You change a posted purchase order
    · You order a posted purchase order again
    · You change a contract that has already been released
    · You release an already released contract again
    In contrast to the change documents that retain a change history, a version displays the status of a document at a specific point in time.
    Version management provides a check for you as a purchaser, for example, if you wish to display a purchase order in the form in which you transferred it to the vendor on day X. A version provides clarity, for example, in negotiations on a contract.
    Features
    You can use versions as follows:
    · Display
    · Compare and list differences in tabular form. The comparison result has separate areas that can be displayed:
    Header data (including organizational data, tax and payment data; partner data and documents)
    Item data (including taxes and limits if they exist; partner data, documents; account assignment and conditions)
    · Archive, if it relates to transaction data (you can archive versions of purchase orders, but not contract versions)
    You cannot change or output versions. This is only possible for the active document.
