100% agreed Axton....we have a custom built migration program that we use that allows the What and the Why to be documented and the changes to be put into packages for movement from Dev to test/prod. The reasons you have listed below are the reasons that I have thus far been able to stave off the attempts at my company to force us into using an outside source control system.
-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 10:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Remedy 7.5 Integration with SubVersion Due to the way workflow is serialized, source control systems are of little value for workflow. Most of the intrinsic value realized with source control systems for programming languages (e.g., Java or C) can not be realized with Remedy form and workflow definitions. Remedy provides some native capabilities in this arena with overlays and object modification log, but much of the intrinsic value a source control system offers can not be realized with these mechanisms. Out of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, and WHERE, the native capabilities will answer WHO, WHEN, and WHERE. To answer the WHAT, one has to inspect the details of the change deeper than the object name/type. The manner in which object definitions are stored and serialized is not conducive to this (i.e., how are fields ordered in a set fields or push fields list?). To answer the WHY, there has to be an opportunity, policy, and possibly some enforcement around commenting changes. This means there has to be a gate between the developer and the server to control changes and collect this information. Providing a comment for each modified piece of workflow is nonsense (this is the only gateway that exists today). The changes have to be lumped together and the comments need to apply to a set of changes.
