Need help with Harvest package history reporting
By Victor Peters - November 19, 20101 Answer

I've been trying to get some reporting working on package history and experience some 'challenges' to obtain the right set of data.

What I need is the (average) time it takes (or took) for a package to get from state X to state Y in a given environment.
I can get a per environment list of all Created, Promote and Demote actions from table harPkgHistory (plus the date/time of execution). But when a package has been promoted/demoted into a state more than once, the query returns too many rows.

Any help would be very welcome ...

By ldevore - November 18, 20103 Answers

We have a need to check out or download a list of files changed since a given date. We need to be able to apply only those files to production - in part to preserve date and time stamps and to avoid refreshing 10,000 files to production every time a bug fix is released.

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.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Distributed vs Centralised SCM?
By Robert Cowham - November 8, 201013 Answers

I'd be interested in feedback from others on this subject, and particularly comparing and contrasting the use of distributed tools such as git and mercurial (and others) vs their more centralised brethren, be they open source (subversion) or commercial.

The requirements for developing something like Linux are certainly different to those for many commercial organisations IMO.
