2. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Presentation Outline Overview of Source Control Basic installation and setup Checking in an application first time Checking out an application first time Making changes to programs/panels Committing changes Additions and Deletions Applying updates from other users SVN Command Line Program

3. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Overview Program code/panels/data files/resource files maintained in a central repository Each programmer maintains their own copy – their ‘sandbox’ The programmer make changes in their sandbox Once they are happy with changes they commit them System merges changes made by other users Conflicts are reported to the programmer who must correct Leaves actual conflict resolution up to the programmer All changes are tracked by when, by whom, and why Tools allow for the rollback/comparisons of versions

7. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Initial Setup Create the repository Unix/Linux uses the svnadmin command to create You can use SSH to interact with the repository Alternatively use svnserve as a background daemon TortoiseSVN allows you to create one on Windows For the demo we will use a Windows repository

26. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Case Considerations Incompatible case settings can make a diff in your repository Parameters and IT settings affect how programs are saved ‘MC’, ‘LC’, ‘LD’, ‘NL’, etc. ‘V+’ parameter controls how the text programs are saved into the source directory Value is a mask consisting of: 0 - Source will use lower case variables and directives and suppress LET (default) 1 - Source will use upper case variables and directives and suppress LET 2 - Source will use the 'LD', 'LC' and 'NL' parameters in effect +4 - Adding 4 to the value of 0, 1 or 2 will force the format of a SAVE to a serial file to match that of a standard SAVE. ‘MC’=1 will override the case settings for variables

27. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Making changes Program changes are automatically tracked PxPlus SAVE command checks for.pluscvs link The.pluscvs file points from ‘application’ to ‘sandbox’ Programs automatically converted to text and copied to sandbox NOMADS designer also updates sandbox Panels and library settings updated All other files you refresh to sandbox manually The SVN REFRESH command can update existing file/directory SVN REFRESHALL updates existing directory and sub-directories Includes resource files (data files, images, config files, etc.)

28.

29. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Committing Changes When tested and working you should commit Windows Explorer will show what was changed Use the SVN COMMIT or SVN UCOMMIT commands Also commit from PxPlus Utility Menu, IT, or TortoiseSVN menu UCOMMIT refreshes existing file/directory before committing Repository only as good as the programmers using it Only check in working/workable programs People hate checking out broken logic ALWAYS comment your changes

30. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Additions and Deletions Adding new programs, panel libraries, files, and directories Use SVN ADD command line program Updates source directory and adds & commits to the repository Deleting programs, files, directories Two part process: Delete from the source using TortoiseSVN menu Commit the parent directory File or sub-directory is removed from repository. Application directory is updated.

31. DireXions + 2011 – Your Tool Box just got Bigger Applying updates Check for updates regularly Issue an SVN UPDATE to get updates System will check with repository and merge changes Correct any conflicts that are reported Conflicts will be tagged in source Integrated Toolkit provides Auto-update Will check with server whenever loading a program Helps to assure you are working on current source
