Another method is to embed the control records for all environments in the code, keyed to a server specific value that you can access, like hostname or IP address. This can make deployment much easier, as it reduces the need to coordinate control records on the servers and the need to change the workflow arguments.
For more security (since you are embedding your passwords in a text file), encrypt the values and pass in the encryption key (which could be the same for each server) as a parameter as you are doing with the login information now. When the process runs, decrypt each value, use it, then drop the variables. Kelly Logan Senior Remedy Developer Cybernetic Solutions, <http://www.cybersolution.us/> Inc.

The only thing that needed to be changed was the config files. _____ From: Steve McDonald [mailto:steve_mcdon...@choicehotels.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:37 AM To: arsperl-users@arsperl.org Subject: [Arsperl-users] Best Practices Question Good day all! Like most programmers, I like to write code that is as portable across my dev/qa/production environments as possible. I've played with passing arguments in workflow as well as reading control records located on each server and each have their pluses and minuses. How have you all handled this in your environments when supplying the servername/username/password/misc for the code you write? Is there a better way I've overlooked?
