In Synergy, is it possible via CLI to check if a filename in a workarea has any parallel versions? I have a tool that checks out files and I want to check if there are any parallel versions before doing the actual check out in a workarea (e.g. d:\ccm_wa\test-1\test\dummy.txt) . The idea I had was to run a query and check for is_hist_leaf(). But before that I need to get a unique "objectname" from the filename to feed to ccm query. I can get attributes from "ccm attr -s filename", but how can I get the unique objectname attribute from a filename? Best regards |

Release Management and Deployments: Why Is This So Important? Why do we wait to discuss releases and deployments until the last minute? Is this a result of our lack of planning and knowledge, or is there a deeper reason why we fail to plan properly? Joe Townsend digs into the release and deployment portions of the SDLC to try to shed some light on why we tend to neglect these crucial steps. |

Synergy: Should I (a) Update then Sync, or (b) Sync then Update? We are using Telelogic Synergy Release 6.5.4096. Some users have had repeated problems of Updating a Synergy project, but not getting the latest versions of files, even when no apparent file version conflict exists. For example, a folder with changes in it does not get revised to the next folder version with the new files in it. The Update hasn't failed (no failed message in the "Messages" window), but the user's copy of the project is still not up-to-date with regard to that folder and its files. Normally, our method has been to use "Sync Work Area", handle that set of files, then do the "Update" on the project. It has been suggested that we should do the "Update" first, then the Sync. But, I think, the order doesn't matter because Synergy will not update files that have been changed by the user, for whatever reason. Any idea of what's going on with the updates? |

Eight Ways to Release Failure—A Checklist “We don’t release software. It escapes!” (Carl, my former boss and a VP of Development) My former boss, Carl, once tried enticing me to join his management team by emphasizing how badly the company could use my process discipline skills; it worked. I felt bad for them, and I was intrigued by the challenge. But, I learned at least as much as they did during my tenure there. Over the course of my career, I have seen many instances of people failing at release management. In this article, I highlight eight statements that I have heard over the years from people in our line of work. Even though these people abide by these statements, they would never dare to repeat them out loud. I hope you will find inspiration not to follow these sayings! |
