Visual Source Safe AddIn for JDeveloper

Hi All,
Is there an addin available for JDeveloper
somewhere for Visual Source Safe ? I know there's one available for JBuilder 4 ...
Thanks.

See the following discussion group post for information on the custom addins:
http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum86/HTML/000174.html
You could also use Oracle's own source control system (Oracle Repository) rather than Visual Source Safe. This has a much tighter level of integration with JDeveloper. See
http://otn.oracle.com/products/repository/demos/jdevviewlets_viewlet.html
for a demo.
Thanks,

Will Visual Source Safe work for non-Microsoft software as well as documents?

We have software that was made by a subcontractor. It is used to control a machine with proprietary syntax. Will VSS archive it as well as Visual Studio things?

Hi OilMan545,
If you mean to use Visual Source Safe as a source control tool and use funtions that VSS provided, the answer is yes. You can use VSS to manage your source files. And it's recommended to use TFS since it's more powerful and in the spoort scope of MSDN forums.
If you want to do the integration for the software and VSS, that depends on the functions that the software provided and whehter it has interfaces/plugin to interact with VSS.

Does JDev3.2 work with MS Visual Source Safe?

Has anyone used MS Visual Source Safe (VSS)with JDeveloper? How's your experience?
We are trying to decide if to go with Oracle Repository or VSS. We are using JDev for sure. Repository seems so complicated, yet promises a lot of things such as supporting Oracle database objects.

Hi,
Could you post the bat file that you created?

You can use Visual SourceSafe inside JDeveloper, but you have to script it in a .BAT file (which is simple). You can go to the code samples page of Oracle for JDeveloper and grab a piece of code that will allow you to right mouse click on a java file and CheckIn/CheckOut a file. However, this only executes the scripts I mentioned above that you must write. I have had no problem using this and I think you will be pleased with it!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

CR files are automatically checked out (with Visual Source Safe 2005)

Dear CR Support,
i have a strange problem. Every time i open my solution in V.S. 2008 (V.B.) all my CR files are checked out automatically.
I must do "Undo Check Out" every time.
I Use:
Visual Basic 2008
Crystal Reports 2008
Visual Source Safe 2005
For any extra information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Dear Don hello,
sorry for that.
I have made some tests and i notice the followings:
I'm working in a CR file in design mode. I make the changes that i want, i click save and then "Check In" in order the changes to be saved in VSS. If i Don't "close" the CR File (the open tab of Visual Studio) the CR file stays "Open" in design mode. If i right click over the tab of the CR and click "close", the CR closes. This is what i mean "Open" and "Closed" file.
- When i open the solution with the crystal reports files open (design window open), the files are checked out automatically.
- When i open the solution with closed the reports, i have no problem. But if i try to open (in design mode) the crystal reports files, the report is checked out automatically (this is not happening to all reports).
I will try to reinstall the SP2 again.
Is there any newer Patch after the SP2, in order to install it?
Thank you for your reply.

Is there a plug-in to use Microsoft Visual Source Safe with JDeveloper?

Is there a plug-in available to allow me to use JDeveloper with my current source control software (Microsoft Visual Source Safe)?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Not that I'm aware of. We're adding support for visual sourcesafe in the next release of JDeveloper.
Thanks,

Visual Source Safe w/ JDeveloper

I stumbled on a couple of posts relating to this with a search but I just wanted some more clarification.
Is there a plugin for Jdeveloper that would allow me to use the built-in source control with a MS Visual Source Safe repository?
TIA!
-jay

Unfortunately there is not an extension to do this automatically.
You could add to the external tools menu items to call ss.exe to checkout and checkin files.
It's something we are trying to schedule for a future release, but no commitments yet.
Thanks,

Visual Source Safe and RoboHelp for HTML

Do you ever successfully use Visual Source Safe for RoboHelp
for HTML? I got error when I checked out the file, looks like file
format in RoboHelp is not supported in Visual Source Safe. Can
somebody share the experience? Thanks a lot!

Hey, Cathy!
The RoboSource Control in X5 was "adequate" in its day. But
remember, that was nearly 4 years ago
The problem was that the "free" Access database was not
really robust enough and to really make use of it, you need to use
MS SQL Server, which is expensive.
That was then. This is now. The RoboSource Control 3 that
comes with RoboHelp 6 is WAY more better
This is because, it allows you to use a free version of MS
SQL Server Express for a much more robust database.
So my advice would be to upgrade to RoboHelp 6 for sure. It's
not just hype. If for some reason you can't upgrade, then you might
be able to get away with the Access Database given that there are
only two of you. Since you already have it, you could create a
little test bed project and try it out. (I have a suggestion for
how to do that in my article. See link below)
For the lowdown on RoboSource Control 3 see this Matthew
Ellison's fine article
Getting
started with RoboSource Control 3 in RoboHelp 6
If you're interested in the "old" RoboSource Control that
comes with X5, you can check out my article to get you started.

Looking for comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM

Hi,
I am looking for some comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM.
What I need is technical feature comparison (not just marketing comparison stating that Oracle SCM is better for everything is stored in the very reliable Oracle database(although this is a good point)).
Any help in this area will be helpfull.
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov

Thanks you for your answer,
I like very much Oracle SCM, which I use extensively.
I have very little experience with MS VSS (only on my local machine). I have never tested it in a network environment with multiple developers.
I would like to convince other developers to switch to Oracle SCM, but I need to know what to tell them.
I'm actually both a developer and DBA, and I do like the safety the Oracle Database offers for storing files inside.
I like very much the opportunity to connect with Oracle Repository Navigator from a remote location to my database through Connection Manager and to be able to work with my projects. (There is an issue with this configuration due to the JDBC driver used I'm unable to compare files).
But to convince people I need to know more about the differences between MS VSS and Oracle SCM.
I would appreciate if any of the developers share experience with VSS and SCM.

Mihail Daskalov

MS Source Safe Addin?

I am sure this has been asked a million times already...but does anyone have an add-in for MS Source Safe for Jdeveloper?
I would REALLY hate to spend a week or 2 trying to figure out the java doc and write one for myself if someone would be so kind to post one.
I think it is absolutely crazy that Oracle released an IDE like this without support for PVCS and MS SS.
Thanks....

Visual Source Safe keeps checking out my .cs file associated with a report

Hello there.
I am new in this community and I need some help. I am part of a team that works with Crystal Reports under .NET framework and we are using Ms Visual Source Safe. Any time we open a solution (.sln file) all .cs files associated with a Crystal report are checked out. This, of course, drives all of us crazy. If I try to delete the .cs file, it is added automatically. And we could not find any solution to this problem.
I compared the 2 .cs files (before and after check out) and the indeed differ. The namespace , to be more specific is different.
I believe the problem is that we are using a separate project that contains the report files and then those .rpt files are added as links to the main project.
So ... my question is... is there anyway I can tell Sourcesafe or Crystal report or any other program, application or person to stop checking out my .cs files or stop modifying them?
Thank you.

Hello Don.
Thank you for your answer.
It seems I have SP1 already installed. I am referencing the following files with versions in my report project:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v12.0.2000.0
I personally believe that the problem is with the link files.
To be more exact, I have several projects (csproj) that handle all reports and report loading. I also have several applications that refer these projects (not all in the same time). Because all .rpt files are loaded at runtime, I made these files Embedded resources and I created a folder in the main projects named Reports where I added all .rpt files as links.
When I open main application A solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to A).
When I open main application B solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to B).
And so on.
And since we are a team of several developers working with all main applications, this is rather annoying.
I hope this presents my situation a little more clear.
Any ideas?
Thanks again

Correct use of LabVIEW 8 with Visual Source Safe

I have LabVIEW 8.0 and Microsoft Visual Source Safe 6 (VSS) installed and was looking for help with the correct way to integrate the two environments. This will be used in a team environment and code modules will be shared between team members. I have used and understand the new project manager with it's virtual directory structure. I have also used and understand VSS and its abilities to share and branch vis or project folders.
When you share an item in VSS, the vi is available for use in both projects and physically resides in both projects within your working directory. If I were just using VSS, this is the method I would use (and what is recommended in the VSS documentation). This way an entire project contains all the files and can be retrieved all at once.
When you use the LabVIEW 8 project manager, it appears that the intent is to only have the code in one location and share it through virtual folders. This makes sense and works fine until LabVIEW 8 and VSS are both used. LabVIEW 8 can handle check in/out and adding files to VSS. A LabVIEW project can even use vis that belong to other LabVIEW projects and other VSS projects.
My concern with all this is what happens when a team member wants to bring down code to their working directory or rebuilding my own working directory. LabVIEW's project manager does not appear to provide a direct view to the VSS database. I can go into VSS and pull down a LabVIEW project file (lvproj file only) and open it up. All appears to be fine and all VSS information is intact. What is not there is any indication of which files actually exist in my working directory or any way to perform a "bulk" retrieval of all the files required in my project. If all the files reside in a virtual directory, I don't even know where to go get them from. One solution could be to follow the VSS style and ensure everything is native to a project or at least shared with a project (within VSS). This may be cumbersome and would not follow the LabVIEW project philosophy. I may also miss something since LabVIEW "remembers" where stuff is for you. Following the LabVIEW project method could make it difficult to bring a project back to life and also has the potential to leave some vis out of source code control (sub vis don't have to belong to a LabVIEW project).
Does anyone have thoughts on this subject? What is the most efficient way to ensure that all project items are in source code control and that all projects are retrievable and functional?
Thanks,
Greg Cloutier

Greg,
I'm not a VSS guru but I do know that currently there is no automatic functionality for checking in\out a project and all associated files from LabVIEW.
As for finding the location of the vis that have been checked out, LabVIEW can display the full path of a vi from the project explorer. If you right click on a vi and then select properties, the General category will show the full path.
There are a number of papers that do relate to using SCC with LabVIEW 8. check out Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW and that will link you to other documents as well.

Why does LabVIEW8 popup error message after i use Visual Source Safe as its sourc control?

i'm trying LabVIEW8.0 trial version now. and i set Visual Source Safe as its sourc control, just setting like following picture.
but since then, LabVIEW8 always popups error message dialogue even when it starts up.
it confuses me, for it runs well while i use LabVIEW6.1 before.
following is some message dailogue.

hi, smercurio…
i've tried your way. but it doesn't work. :-(
but your idea helps me. i've tried some times and it's OK now. thank you. :-)
here are my steps. ( is it right? )
1. start LabVIEW.
2. Tools >> Options >> Source Control. select source control provider name as my microsoft VSS. no error message.
3. Then set my source control as None. a warning dialogue popup, "You have selected not to use any source control provider". Yes to continue.
4. exit LabVIEW
5. edit LabVIEW.INI. delete the part of source control. ( like the attached picture).
6. Start LabVIEW. and reset the source control as normal.
Bingo! it's OK. :-)

XCode Integration With VSS (Visual Source Safe)

We have recently start developing for iPhone using XCode. We already have Visual Source Safe in place as our source control and I want to give it a try (integrate with XCode) before thinking of using CVS or SVN.
Sometime back TheSilverHammer talk about VSS integration with XCode in his post "Two questions: Xcode 2.4 (reloading a source file) and endianness ...", however it was not clear how he did that? This post is now archived and is no longer available for replies. TheSilverHammer can you, or anyone else please tell how is it possible?

I don't really know about VSS/XCode integration but I have to make a comment. Dump VSS. Pour gasoline on it, light a match and run.
There are so many issues with VSS I'm not sure where to begin. No scalability, terrible stability, proprietary, etc.
You mentioned CVS and SVN. In the long run you'll be way better off with either of those. Personally I prefer SVN.
Just my 2 cents

VISUAL SOURCE SAFE

Im trying to use Visual Source safe as a source control with Oracle Forms. Can anyone tell me what registry entries , ect. I have to change in order to get forms to work with it.
Thanks

I don't think you can do it with VSS.
Those entry are currently for Oracle SCM (a.k.a Oracle Repository), PVCS and Clearcase.
I would suggest you take a look at Otacle SCM
Whic you allready own (part of the Oracle developer suite that forms is a part of).
You will get a lot more functionality for Version control including diffing of fmb's etc from this tool.

Visual Source Safe & Forte

Hello happy users !
Doe's anyone use Visual Source Safe with Forte ? I saw something about
it some month ago but i'm unable to retrieve it...
I remember someone has writed a Forte project allowing to automatically
archiving source file in VSS while integrating the workspace in the
repository. Someone use it ? How do you manage the changes in a project
Do you always archiving .pex even if you only change a class ?
Help greatly appreciated from people using VSS with Forte !

Hi, thanks for your reply!
I had the same thought, that it was a matter of time. Therefore i let the system work during the night, but it did not help - Forte is still refreshing!
After mounting the following tasks are done:
Preprocessing LIST_DIR_READER, exec = ${RUN} \"${VSSCMD}\" dir -R- -F- \"${PROJECT}$[? MODULE] [${PS}${MODULE}] []$[? DIR] [${PS}${DIR}] []\" ${OPTIONS} && \"${VSSCMD}\" diff ${OPTIONS}

The information about these commands (available from Runtime tab)
* Output of VCS commands [Refresh]
