I came to a similar solution/resolution ysterday. But instead of changing version numbers I decided to change the initials (to the clients)
BFD - represents my company - so I am now just changing that to the initials of the client YC_CTMGR = Your Company - Content Manager I don't have a lot of situations where I move from development to production and back again - but where I do, I will probably add an _DEV - which is really the same as Wally suggests - - Thanks Wally! -Nick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 7:45 AM To: CF-Newbie Subject: Re: Dynamically setting datasource One of the problems faced with the discussion on this topic is that the application name variable is the same for all versions of the software. We have adopted a simple solution to this. Each release of the software is given a distinct application name with a version number attached. BFD_CTMGR would be BFD_CTMGR_010 for production and BFD_CTMGR_011 for the current version in the TEST system and BFD_CTMGR_012 for the current development environment. This prevents application variables from accidently being shared on the same box. Everytime a new version of software is started the version number is incremented in DEV. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:15:1586 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/15 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:15 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
