configuration management

In this article, Yaniv Yehuda examines how Database Change Management (DCM) must be embraced by everyone on board when creating a successful deployment strategy. Learn how deadlines are more easily met and releases become more reliable with this strategy.

I'm interested in both:

1. Basic (must have) metrics

2. Advanced (good to have) metrics

When folks started moving to agile development around the turn of the century, they first moved away from using certain automated tools. They did this mostly in order to get rid of project management tools and focus on face-to-face communications. This was a reasonable reaction to what had turned into a world of silos and automated workflow management. We developers were ridding ourselves of the mechanisms that produce all of that ceremony and reams of design documents. We would only use index cards and hand-drawn charts on a whiteboard. We didn’t want any tools to get in the way of the real work we were doing.

We are planning to upgrade Harvest 7.1 to CA SCM 12.1SP2.

The handling of forms changed and unfortunately the scripting language, too. Now we would like to get the users name within an change event. With VBScript we had an User-object.

Where is the CA SCM userinfo located? In the editor object?

Is there a documentation for or experiences with the editor object?

Any help welcome
