[U2] MV - VCS configuration control
Hi David, everyone. Of course everyone knows that I'm PRC, but I just wanted to poke my head in and let you know that Perforce is not an MV tool. It's an outside (windows mainly?) tool, but Jim Idle was using it in-house to manage jbase development. So that's how it started getting talked about in the MV community. You can use outside tools ... you can create great or small wrappers from within U2 ... depends on how much time you want to spend on it. Then you can manage the stuff that is visible from outside. In the case of U2 that's directory (program) files, only. In the case of D3, I'm pretty sure that's nothing. PRC - just in case there's anyone on this list who hasn't heard! - is a completely integrated change control tool that provides start to finish life-cycle management to take IT from either a little more convenience and control all the way to SOX compliance -- and all stages in between. It works in and on the Multivalue environment, so all file types (dictionary items, etc.) are handled in the same way. It provides a completely automated solution -- no extra steps that have to be remembered. Even if you didn't mind writing a wrapper to feed the check-in and check-out to an outside tool, that's all you've got. PRC already has a complete infrastructure for the security framework, automated notification, test plans, the delivery (and undelivery). All done, hundreds of installations, 15 years mature.

A client is looking to move to a 'vcs' process. They are D3 (unix) shop but are looking to a 'windows/unix' solution. I was asked if there were any MV products and I mentioned the few that I had heard of being used in the mv world. PRC and preforce (not sure how to search the history of u2ug.org). If there are any others being used for MV configuration - source control, either MV specific OR easy to link to MV I would like to know.

[U2] A trail of bread crumbs
Perry, Thanks! That's exactly what I needed at this point, because I created a program to do the same thing in Unidata and just wasn't sure what the structure of that system variable output was in Universe. Now I have it! Thanks! (and to everyone else who contributed) The coolest thing about this -- I'm using it in a file trigger so I can trace exactly where the write that launched the trigger occurred. On Unidata it includes the actual line number. Sweet!

RE: Spam:[U2] MV - VCS configuration control
We happen to be discussing PRC at the moment here. Just curious will it work with other environments besides multi-value? Our company has multiple developing environments.

RE: [U2] MV - VCS configuration control
Whilst we're on the subject, I've just scribbled - sorry, carefully crafed - an article on using CVS or SubVersion for the March issue of Spectrum magazine (for anyone who doesn't subscribe - shame on you - you can find it at www.intl-spectrum.com). These are not a substitute for a true MV-centric program control, but can be effective none-the-less if you are prepared to invest in appropriate management controls. I've used CVS in the past to manage client/server projects where I needed to tie together versions originating from different platforms and languages. CVS revision tagging is extremely useful for this, as is virtual PC as a platform onto which to extract working copies/history revisions. And if you're just after a simple version repository without requiring much thought or layout, SubVersion with a copy of TortioseSVN on your PCs is a simple and cool combination.
