How do I automate a checkout process using Serena PVCS Version Manager?
By josephb - May 4, 20124 Answers

I am attempting to automate a checkout process of a large group of files using Serena PVCS Version Manager version 8.2.10 en_US (build 150). Each of these files' names are unique, and using the Filename pattern option doesnt allow us to selct the exact list of the multiple files we need to check out, there is nothing common about these.

Currently we have a project database with a project that contains over 2000 files each with an average of 5 to 10 revisions per file. In a few months time, my CM team will be getting requests to check out (then check in) of over 200 to 500 of these files (or more) for a major update of code that needs to happen.

Is there ANY way to use a script, for example, to check out all files that match a list of these files that correspond with a version label (or latest revision), then use this script to add a comment to this large list of checked out files as well?

I noticed there is a > Tool Configuration option under the Admin menu option. Can this let us check out and comment locked revisions en-masse, or is there another alternative??

If anyone can reply within the next few days, this will help us heaps of time at work, and save us having to check out hundreds of files, 10 to 20 files at a time and comment them manually. Please help! :(

Can I change the Accurev Eclipse Team Synchroniz -diff against latest kept?
By charpley - May 2, 20123 Answers

As a long time user of Eclipse+SVN, we recently started using AccuRev as SCM tool. Prior to any commits (keeps) I generally switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective to check my changes. From there I then perform a keep operation.

Whilst this works fine for the first keep (from backed), any subsequents edits are differenced against the backed version, not latest kept.

I don't prompt that often, but do lots of keeps. Is it possible to change the behaviour of the Team Synchronizer?

Thanks,
Chris

Using version 2012.1.0 of Eclipse Plug-in for AccuRev, on Eclipse 3.7.1

Julius Caesar vs. CM: What do gain by doing CM?
By c12774 - April 27, 20121 Answer

I'd like to share with you my last article in which I’ll use a feat orchestrated by Julius Caesar two thousand years ago to illustrate what CM can provide us, in contrast with what technology allow us to do.

Does anyone have a suggestion for component configuration naming conventions?
By pparlow - April 19, 20122 Answers

I have a build that outputs various configuration files, some which are very similar but differ based on the attributes of the component they support. Our current naming convention for the configuration files consist of identifying the attributes supported:

Config_Foo_attr1.xml, Config_Foo_attr1_attr2.xml

As our attribute options grow so will the file names. Has anyone else dealt with something similar to this issue?

I'm trying to find an alternative to the option being proposed by those outside of CM. They would like the configuration files to be generated on the fly by a tool based on an operator's input during the download of the component.

Thanks,
pparlow

Need help with Synergy sub-project issue
By Jonathan Haigh - April 2, 20121 Answer

I have an integration prep project setup with 4 sub-projects. One of the projects is now being displayed as the red exclamation mark.

I can see and update the sub project seperately, but it doesnt seem to be included in the overall project heirarchy, even though the BM project Grouping shows it as still being part of the same group it was before.

Any ideas on how I can get everything back to how it should be?

I so far have :-

flexlm standard port
