We use EditPlus with SourceSafe which works well as no-one can change a program from within Universe or without unless it's been checked out first.
We developed an add-in (as have others) to make the links to SourceSafe an integral part of EditPlus so checking status, checking in/out, promoting to test/pre-prod/prod is all done via a menu/single keystroke. Before we started using EditPlus we used the command line facilities of SourceSafe to link into the Universe shell. Of course, maintaining version control over dictionaries and property records is a bit trickier as SourceSafe will only work for type 1/19. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Joslyn Sent: 02 February 2005 03:36 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Unidebugger We're using the word 'locking' in two different ways, here. Lock as in 'read lock' is indeed done by the unidebugger. Locking as in -- calling a host subroutine to validate the available status in a source library system (such as PRC (hah! You knew I'd plug!) is something that the Unieditor (with Wintegrate, but not Dynamic Connect) can do, but the Unidebugger (presently) cannot. Everyone whine and beg and maybe they can put that in for us. In the meantime, Gordon, I would think that you could address it with file triggers... any reason why you can't? Susan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon J Glorfield Sent: 01 February 2005 14:00 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Unidebugger Now I'm confused. You are now the second person to claim that the "UniDebugger doesn't use locking when it reads/writes host Basic programs". This is definitely not the case here. We use the UniObjects connect method and it does use and honor record locks. I was hoping that someone could suggest a method utilizing triggers or something to get it to honor our check-in/check-out database. I'm not really interested in investigating alternatives to UniDebugger. I just want to explore making it work. Perhaps I need to look at the read/write permissions, as hinted at earlier, as a possible solution. Cheers, Gordon Gordon J.
