Our company uses a public domain configuration and version control system (CVS) for our Java and C++ product development. We have tried working with the OI Applications manager features such as Inheritance and collaborative development environment that try to address this same project management requirement but have found it difficult to do so. Even without these issues we perfer to manage all of our software development within the same environment.

Has any successfully tied OI to CVS or other similar management tool?

Tom,

If you are using OI32, then one idea is to use an OS filing system based BFS to store all of your source records in.  Such a BFS could store all of it's records in an OS directory and use the individual file names as the key ids.  This is now possible in OI32 with long file names support.

Then, you could have your CVS system track changes while still being able to transparently access all of the source records from within OI.

Tom-

In addition to Pat's posting- you might call Dave Harmacek. He had PX in Arev, and could probably create a similar tools easily in OI.

He's listed in the Developer Network.

Tom (or anyone else),

I would be very interested in your findings .. what have you decided to do along this path?

Pat's suggestion is a very doable answer .. or even an mfs on the SYSnnnn tables to write read.

Anyway .. let me know

The old ARev build system used a combination of MFS code and program code to OSWrite out and then execute PVCS commands. Of course, they had command line interfaces back then, unlike our advanced times :).

Command line interfaces are still available to all the source code control system I know of…
