Version Control Tools & SSC API

We'd like to move away from MS VSS towards Subversion (SVN)
as our central version control tool.
The RH7 documentation states that RH integrates with any tool
that supports the SSC API. There are various implementations of the
SSC API available for SVN. I wonder if anyone has experiences with
using RH & SVN in combination: Does it work? Are there pifalls?
If so, which other tools would you recommend?
There had been posts on this but these users don't seem to
use the RH interface for integration of such tool.

unfortunately there is nor version control in BI. So once you have made changes to any objects, the previous changes are overwritten.
also for comparsion, you need to do a side-side comparison between DEv and PROD boxes in your case. no easy method.

Version control tool for Mac OS X?

Hi all
If using labview on Mac OS X,
do you have some version control tools to recommend?
Thanks a lot

As far as i know, LV for Mac does not integrate with source code control provider. LV for Windows has two requirements for this:
a) Professional Development Environment
b) A source code control provider compatible to the Microsoft Source Interface
There is still always (Mac, Linux and Windows alike) the possibility to control source files using the SCC providers client software.
Many open source project SCCs like CVS or Git integrate, at least in Windows, in the File Explorer.
I recommend you to research possible solutions like this for Mac.
The next question is if you want to use a distributed SCC or a local one. Depending on this, you will have to setup a network server with compatible provider (e.g. RhodeCode).
LV provides both a Diff and Merge tool as EXE (Professional). I am not sure if this is also true for the Mac version, so look for "LVCompare" and "LVMerge".
hope this helps,

Version controlling tool

Brian,
We are going to use Oracle 9i database & 9i AS & JDeveloper 10g as tool for our web development. We have been using SourceSafe as version controlling tool successfully, but could not decide what we should adopt for the integration.
I do know that Oracle is not planning further development for Oracle SCM and as such recommends all new development with JDeveloper makes use of open source tools such as CVS. JDeveloper offers different choices for your configuration and team development environment. You can continue to use Oracle SCM with the JDeveloper extension or you can use open source tools such as CVS.
My question is
You said that you can confirm that SourceSafe will definitely be supported in the next release. (Apr 19, 2004 9:31 AM Subversion Source Control). Has it been released?
If not, what is your advise on tool to use for our development team?
Thanks in advance,
YingShi

Hello Moshi,
Personally I never understood how the integrated version control system of
CVI works, but SVN (and TortoiseSVN) works fine with CVI projects.
UIR files are treated as binary, as they should be, and that's about all.
You could put the .tui file under version control instead, but I don't think
it's worth the bother.

OWB Process Flow - How is the best version control tool ??

HI all,
I just start work with OWB and I have a question to know how is the best way to do something.
Imagine the scenario below:
If I have 2 or more requests for example:
Request 1: Create a Dimension City.
Request 2: Create a Dimension Products.
I Have ONE process flow and i need put my changes inside. This is my problem.
In my scenario I don't know what Request goes to Prod First.
If I put the Request 1 and Request 2 in my PROCESS FLOW, maybe I need change is someone decide change MY REQUEST PRIORITY.
There is something in OWB to "control the version or changes" ?? For a mapping I export the MDL and commit on SVN, but I dont know haw can i do with the process flow.
Something to agree multiples peoples work in different mappings and a SAME PROCESS FLOW ??
What is best way to work with process flow and version control.
What are the best practices when it comes to version control?
Thanks.

Amit,
Are you really doing this in 10.1.3.x and not 11g?
At any rate, I don't see how #2 and #3 relate whatsoever to your choice of a version control system. OK, maybe in #2 if there is some "maintenance" activity to be done against the version control server. Subversion is the open source alternative that you listed there and is pretty commonly used. If your company is already using one of the mentioned tools, why change? About the only thing I'd mention is to advise you NOT to use CVS for well documented reasons (JDev does support it) - if you would have picked CVS otherwise, choose Subversion. As far as question #1 - I've only used Subversion (well, I did use CVS for a while) with JDeveloper, so I can say it was "effective enough for me." In 10.1.3.x, I also used the external svn tools for doing lots of things like merging and so forth; in 11g, the support is much much better.
Best,
John

Hello, I want to use version controlling software with Labwindows.

Hello All.
I want to use version controlling tool with Labwindows/CVI. Actually version controlling tools work for text files and by using the tool i can do version controlling of my .c and .h files in Labwindows/CVI project. But is there a way to do version controlling of .uir files also. Version control tool can detect the changes made in .uir file but is there any tool that can be used to compare and merge .uir files too just like text files operation for version controlling.
Regards

Version Control with JDeveloper application using ClearCase

My team is evaluating J Developer to see if
it matchs our requirement. We want
to know how we will be able to use Clearcase
as version control tool with our Java or JSP application developed using JDeveloper.
We understand that J Developer will help us
to create a zip file for deployment. Do we need to check in/out that zip file, zip/unzip the zip file, look for the file
that we want to change, and then make change to it?
If so how Clear Case knows which files in that zip file has been changed and what changes have been made?
Currently, we use Clearcase to check in/out
every single file, one at a time. We don't know how it will work with a zip file.
Sincerely,
Khanh

Alex,
There are two parts to this answer.
You can hook up any version control system
to JDeveloper using various JDeveloper
extension mechanisms including adding items
to the tools menu or complete wizards.
On OTN, you can find an CustomAddins which provides a way to integrate to any version control system by editing some batch files to point to their "put" and "get" type tools. This is meant as a simple starting point.
Starting with JDeveloper 3.2, you will be able to take advantage of the intergrated source control feature that integrates Oracle Repository's source control features into JDeveloper.
I hope this helps,
-John

Version control in BO 6.5 & XI

How is the versioning controlled in Business Objects? Do we need to use any configuration management tool for bO 6.5? Is it inbuilt in BO XI?

Hi Navneet,
There are some version control tools for BO, like BISolid.
What they do is versioning of universes and reports, and they control the deployment towards the different repositories.
Makes it easy to rollback a version in production, or automates the manual steps needed to promote a report/universe.

Any help and suggestion will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

SVN is better then CVS

External Version Control usage with SAP

Hi,
I am trying to get info on configuring an external version control tool to use with SAP. I am aware of Version Management that is provided by SAP as part of Workbench Organizer and DTR for NetWeaver Developer Studio (for Java programs). However, my requirement is, to configure an external versioning system which can maintain the different versions of the source outside SAP system(not within the SAP repository). This is necessary to recover the system even in case of SAP system crashes also.
Please let me know if we can integrate any Version Control Software like Perforce or CVS to use with SAP. I like to store ABAP programs, ABAP Data Dictionary objects etc. in it. Please point me to a useful document or resource which explains this in detail (if one is available).
Any pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Thanks for your feedback Nico and Carsten. The feedback on snapshots is very relevant and the sort of feedback that I was looking for.
I will continue looking at external version control, but at the same time look at snapshots. For example, when doing a checkin operation to checkin to external version control, my script may be able to automatically create a signature snapshot of the object at the same time. Please let me know if, for some reason, that won't be feasible.
Thanks,
Gavin

Version Control integration with SVN

We want to implement Version Control integration for Siebel Tools with Subversion (SVN).
After an informal chat with a consultant from Oracle, we got the reply like: Test, and see if it works.
Now for my question, does anyone know a project where they used SVN as the version control tool in a Siebel project?

Nothing much yet, but I found a website that has the batch file for integration with SVN.
Guess I have to contact the author to get more details:

Version control for ODI

Hi User Community,
In our workplace we are handling ETL (ODI drive in the network drive) by placing folder (TST,STG & Production for Each Environment).
We use clearcase as version control over here. can some suggest their experience & better ways of handling ODI Code in any Version Control tool.
Appreciate your help in advance,
Thank you,
Sudheer Palagiri

Hi Sudheer,
I think Clear case is a better way of handling code deployments or migrations with in environments. We use SVN version control system where we check in updated code for each deployment. And, we freeze code check-in until next deployment. As you have in your work place, we have different folders for DEV, UAT and PROD. I am really not sure ODI version control is helpful in code deployments. It does help up have mulitple versions of scenarios, but still we need to decide which version is going to other enviroments and export them to a folder, import them again.

k

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:

Please give me a details of this issue????
Thanks,

hi priya,
Version Control
Version control is a mechanism that helps maintaining the revision history of a development resource and tracking the changes done to it. It defines a set of constraints on how a development resource can be changed. A development resource that complies with the constraints defined by the version control is called a versioned resource. When a versioned resource is modified or deleted, a new version is created for the resource. A unique sequence number is associated with each version of the resource created in a particular workspace. This sequence number identifies the order in which the versions were created in that workspace. The DTR graphically represents the relationship between the different versions of a versioned resource in the form of a version graph.
For the representation of version graphs, this document follows the conventions shown in this figure.
The figure shows the meaning of the symbols in the version graph.
The following changes are tracked by the version control mechanism of the DTR:
·        Addition of the resource to the repository
·        Modification of the resource in the repository
·        Deletion of the resource from the repository
In all the above cases, a new version of the resource is created.
Production Delivery
Packaging
To deliver your product, you have first to package it. There are different packages you can use for shipping your product to your customers:
●      Software Component Archives (SCAs) this is the standard way to deliver software for the SAP NetWeaver platform.
●      Software Deployment Archives (SDAs) for top-level applications you can deliver only the executable part of the software. You can directly deploy the SDA file.
●      Public Part Archives (PPAs) in Development Component Interface Archives (DCIAs) for reusable components (Java EE server libraries, Web Dynpro components, Visual Composer components and so on). You can deliver only the metadata of the components. DCIA can be included in SCA file too.
How to do that?
Using the command line tool provided with the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment you can:
●      package a collection of components into an SCA including only the deployable archives. This is required if you do not want others to reuse the delivered components.
●      package a collection of components into an SCA including the deployable archives and the corresponding interface archives. This allows customers to develop against these components. Those customers can directly import the SCA into their own SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) or into an SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio local installation.
●      package the public parts of a component together with the required metadata into a DCIA (and further into an SCA).
●      include source code into an SCA.
●      unpack a deliverable archive and drop the result into an existing version control system for example, or directly import them into an existing Design Time Repository (DTR).
Delivery of Source Code for Further Customization
In addition, you can deliver source code to your customers to allow further customizing or add-on development. The deliverable archive may contain sources for:
●      individual development components (DCs).
●      a collection of development components, for example a whole software component (SC).
Example
A customer can add a new source compartment to an existing configuration, and then locate that compartment in the file system where it is accessible by the version control system in charge. Then he or she extracts the sources with the command line tool to the compartments root directory and refreshes the configuration in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. The compartment tree is populated with components from the archive. Afterwards, the customer may put those components under version control. Deliverables that contain only individual components may be treated accordingly.
This mechanism may also be used for other purposes, for example for setting up a simple backup and restore mechanism for components in Developer Studio, or sharing DC sources without having a central version control system: a developer may pack a compartment and store the resulting SCA on a central share or backup system. Another developer may take that SCA and import it.
Limitations
Note the following limitations connected with this kind of source code delivery:
●      There is no support for handling conflicts when different actors in a delivery chain develop independently in the same source code. You cannot prevent the customer from modifying delivered sources. When you ship a new version of the sources, there is no special support for updating and no support for merging the update with modifications done by the customer. You and the customer have to agree on a process how those conflicts are handled. For example, the customer can decide not to import the update you deliver directly into the active development line, but to unpack the delivered sources to some unconnected sandbox system and perform the required merges manually.
●      When you deliver source code to customers, it is important that you also deliver the required libraries and generators that are needed to build these sources. For example, it may be necessary to ship some archive compartments that contain used components.
●      There is no support for delivering deletions in a new version. If a source file was deleted, the customer has to manually ensure that the file is also deleted in the Developer Studio or source code management system.
●      If a customer prefers to work with the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI), this customer cannot directly import the source delivery package into the NWDI landscape. Between NWDI landscapes at different places, sources usually are exchanged through a more sophisticated export format that contains not only the pure source code, but also the versioning meta information of the exporting DTRs. This ensures that the importing repository can detect conflicts that arise due to modifications. If this versioning information is not available, the only way to import source deliveries is to unpack them to a file system and manually put them under version control with the Design Time Repository perspective of the Developer Studio. In case of an update, the customer would have to check out all affected files, merge them with the new versions from the source delivery, and finally check them in as a new version.
