cm products Questions

Question asked to me by Build engineer to resolve below problem:

Checking-in objects (around 1000 or may be more) has become painful now. It takes at least 3-4 hours; ideally, it shouldn’t take more than one hour as compared to other synergy location.
The problem is version handlings in our database which creates long versions and to manage versions for so many objects I have to take back-ups, remove folders from directory and create completely new object versions which are really time consuming processes.

Risks in this process:
1. Even after doing so much manual process I cannot make sure whether I have checked-in all the required files.
2. Losing folders/directory history every time this is done.
3. If build failure happens after Rte task, is a tedious job to identify root cause
4. It may create parallels
5. Delay in release consequently final release

We need to grab CM Synergy administrator’s attention to resolve this issue ASAP otherwise I am not sure how Rte work will be evaluated. Rte already has enough processes to follow, adding such undesirable step is really discouraging

Hello CMCrossRoads,
I am sharing a case on cm synergy, and would like to understand its impact on the configuration.

Scenario:
Master Database ID:mas
Slave Database ID:slv

An object (version-v6.1.1) is branched out from version v6 in master database. The task is mas#111. The object is transferred to slave database via ftp / shared folder (NOT DCM !). This object is again checked-in in slave database. The task is slv#761, and the object version is slv#6.1.1
This is done due to the failure of DCM internal scripts. I want to understand, once the DCM scripts are active again, will it impact anywhere in configuration conflicts in slave database ? Because, the task mas#111 will be transferred by DCM script, and the associated object version is checked-in in slave database.

Best Regards,
Deepak Bawankar

I am sure I am using the correct db credentials.

Any ideas? THanks

We use Synergy 7.1 on Windows PC.

Do you know if there is a tool to merge word documents (parallel versions) within Synergy ? (msword supertype is binary)

Thank you for your help !

Can somebody tell me who uses Harvest? What corporations? I know AT&T, K-Mart use it.

Thanks!

New synergy 7.1 db created for testing, we created custom Process and Process rules based on Synergy's default Process/Process rules (valid and working in other production databases). Now, if I want to create a new project, then I am not able to select any purpose (It shows blank), the message displayed is "No valid purposes for this release", but when I find Process/Process rules, everything is displayed correctly. Even in the Releases, the purposes are correctly set and visible. The problem occurs when I try to create the project.

Please suggest what might be the problem !

I am running a query that returns multiple rows using HSQL. I only want the most current row so I added a group by statement and a MAX statement for the date/time. In problem resolution I have found that the group by is working but the MAX statement is giving me an error. Any ideas?

Query below

select harenvironment.environmentname,
harstate.statename,
harpackage.packagename,
harallusers.username,
harallusers.realname,
haritems.itemobjid,
haritems.itemname,
harpathfullname.pathfullname,
max(harversions.creationtime)

from harpackage

Inner Join harenvironment
on harenvironment.envobjid = harpackage.envobjid

Inner Join harstate
on harstate.stateobjid = harpackage.stateobjid

Inner Join harallusers
on harallusers.usrobjid = harpackage.creatorid

Inner Join harversions
on harversions.packageobjid = harpackage.packageobjid

Inner Join haritems
on haritems.itemobjid = harversions.itemobjid

Inner Join harpathfullname
on harpathfullname.itemobjid = haritems.parentobjid

WHERE HARENVIRONMENT.ENVISACTIVE = 'Y'

AND ( HARENVIRONMENT.ENVIRONMENTNAME LIKE 'EDW%'
OR HARENVIRONMENT.ENVIRONMENTNAME LIKE 'EMD%'
OR HARENVIRONMENT.ENVIRONMENTNAME LIKE 'HFDR%'
OR HARENVIRONMENT.ENVIRONMENTNAME LIKE 'MCWET%'
OR HARENVIRONMENT.ENVIRONMENTNAME LIKE 'FRED%' )

AND ( SUBSTR(HARPACKAGE.PACKAGENAME,4,10) = '_20120914_'
OR SUBSTR(HARPACKAGE.PACKAGENAME,5,10) = '_20120914_'
OR SUBSTR(HARPACKAGE.PACKAGENAME,6,10) = '_20120914_'
OR SUBSTR(HARPACKAGE.PACKAGENAME,7,10) = '_20120914_' )

GROUP BY harenvironment.environmentname,
harstate.statename,
harpackage.packagename,

The cost of Rational ClearCase licensing combined with the complexities of UCM and MultiSite have forced us to look at alternative tools. We have five locations over 3 continents with a mix of UCM, base ClearCase, and MultiSite implementations. Through discussions with CM folks at our sibling subsidiary companies we have narrowed the options to SVN or Perforce.

Could somebody please give their opinions on how these tools stack up against ClearCase?

I have performance problem with ClearCase over VPN.

I don't see problem with dynamic views on AIX. However, rebase/deliver for snapshot views on windows over VPN is extremely slow.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone's having the same issue and what are the solution.

Currently we are using cleracase version 8.

I am getting a network connection lost error during the rebase for windows snapshot view. It resumed and said rebase completed.

However, there some files were not updated with the latest change. When the developer try to rebase recommended again, it says currently it's up-to-date.

How to bring the lost changes or force rebase again?
