Hi Steve, Perforce for source control combined with virtual machines for development and test. The use of Perforce was mainly because it has a great API and fits well with the spectrum of development. It's not all about U2 here.
I haven't looked at any of the distributed VCS components so I can't offer any advice there. As a suggestion, I cannot recommend highly enough the use of VMs for dev and test. Using a VM will give you a system based replication of your production environment and data. This means rather than creating development and test accounts, you can develop and test in your "production" environment with all the same file pointers, account names, security settings etc. There are numerous other advantages to VMs. They can be provisioned and torn down again rapidly. Depending on your VM platform they can be snap-shot and rolled back during bug fixing, install dev/tests and scenario testing. You can have an app developed and installed with *exactly* the same set of artefacts and instructions for test and prod. And it also which means you can reduce the number of accounts you need to maintain. Cheers. S -----Original Message----- This is very helpful. I am thinking of maybe a control record per dict item record type to classify the relations between say the FD and .FD or the SD, SD.GUI and SD.TXT. That control record would specify which attributes to export out in the lowered record. This could be extended to RD's, Conditional's, Dialog's. All of the SB+ types. Maybe instead of a trigger, put a wrapper around (or in) FD, AE, etc. Stuart, what vcs do you use? I have been looking strongly at Hg, but the distributed model looks liek an ill fit when the code must be run in an ERP environment. Its not like each dev can have their own TEST account. Might be nice, but it is not reasonable. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
