Hello Listers,
I hope someone can shed some light on this. We have rapid deployments in our
environment so we are trying to automate the creation of packing lists to
automate our releases. So here's the scenario:
1. Every developer creates packing lists containing workflow elements
(including forms) to satisfy business requirements.
2. A developer creates a final release packing list containing all the
other packing lists. Based on our experience, adding the packing lists as
references to the final packing list has been problematic*, so the developer
has to add the contents of every packing list into the final packing list. As
you can imagine this is extremely tedious.
3. Then we run a large query to ensure that all the contents within all
the packing lists match the final packing list. If all the contents match, we
know our final packing list is ready for promotion.
So what we're trying to do is use the driver application to create a final
packing list that contains the contents of all the packing lists that we
define. We have run the driver application multiple times and it seems it does
not have the functionality to add the contents of one packing list to another.
So we've tried to add just the references and that does not work either? We
were able to create an empty packing list but that's where it stops. Does
anyone know why this is not working? Or even better, does anyone have other
suggestions on how to automate deployments in Remedy? This would include
importing data into tables, and importing definition files also.
On the side, I tried to understand the structure of packing lists at the db
level. I looked at the arcontainer and arreference tables. There is a safeguard
field on the arcontainer table that gets filled in with a really long string.
Does anyone know how this data is generated? If we can create the packing list
at the db level, that may be a solution but the data dictionary tables don't
really show all the relationships.
* We've seen cases where workflow objects that don't belong to any packing
lists referenced, show up in the final packing list!! This made us to start
using the contents of the packing lists instead and so far we've not had any
issues.

TEST1 is another empty packing list that already exists.
DRIVERCONTAINER01 is the new packing list I'm creating.
Results:
DRIVERCONTAINER01 is created but it does not reference packing list TEST1?? I
have tested this many different ways but it just doesn't work. Can someone run
this scenario and see if you get similar behavior?
