Can someone help with issues upgrading to Serena Dimensions v12.2?
By Gayle Mitchell - June 20, 20126 Answers

We have just upgraded to Dimensions v12.2 and we have found a couple of issues. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? I've created cases with Serena support already but have not received solutions yet.

1. In Windows Explorer we cannot copy files from another location into our work areas. We receive a message the files in the work area cannot be overwritten. This is a problem for developers who make code changes outside of the work area and then copy them into the work area before delivery.

2. In Windows Explorer the Check-out option for Dimensions requires a Request but does not supply a dialog to enter or search for the request. CM rules are turned on for Items and Requests and I do not want to turn them off.

Any insight would be appreciated. Sometimes I feel like we are the only ones using this version.

Is possible to upgrade Dimensions directly from release 10.1.3 to 12.2, without installing release 2009 R2?

In Serena Dimensions, is there a way to get user defined attributes via the JAVA API
By JoelArys - February 22, 20122 Answers

You can query and get the value of systemattributes via the Java API:

Request.queryAttribute and passing the SystemAttributes.XXX

So, is there a way to query the user defined attributes of a request, i.e Target Release?

Anyone out here that has (admin) experience with Serena Dimensions?
By Per Lundborg - February 16, 20112 Answers

Reason for asking is that we now have a site that runs SD while the rest of the sites are on CM Synergy since long, and we want to start to learn of the possibilities of migrating from SD to CMS...

Questions about Serena Dimensions install technical requirements?
By cjb110 - January 20, 20114 Answers

We're planning a Dimensions deployment into a 3 domain environment (prod, test and dev).

Just trying to find out some of the more technical details about the deployment.

1) How do the clients/ide plugins talk to the main server? Ports/protocols?

2) How do the agents talk to the main server? Do they run under windows accounts? and those accounts are granted the r/w permissions on the deployment folders?

Thanks

What is the file naming convention that Serena Dimensions uses for the Item Library?
By David Day - January 12, 20112 Answers

Can someone point me to an explanation of the file naming convention that Dimensions uses for the Item Library? I need to make a correlation between what's in the database and what exists on the file system.

Thanks,
David

Help Migration from SourceSafe to Dimensions
By Stephen Pindar - November 11, 20103 Answers

I am about to migrate a software library from Visual SourceSafe to Dimensions 2009R1, are there any problems I should be aware of?

I assume the best idea is to put the migrated VSS into its own product. I ask this because I also have a migration of Serena ChangeMan into the same database and I may be requested to put both migrations into the same product.

Thanks,
Stephen.
