Hi frnds can any one suggest me the process of pvcs to svn migration 

I am using the JHSDK jar available in ths installation directory of CA to write a java program for an automation project.

 

I am using the below Java code to select the packages from ACEDEV13.06.00.00 from SW Development view and promoting it to next stage 'Integration Test(AIT)'.

 

Java Code:

 

JCaContext context = harvest.getContext();

boolean approve = context.setApprove("Approve"); //Exception @ this line is E0309000d: ERROR: Could not get Process.

boolean promote = context.setPromote("Promote");

 

//Setting the Approval

CaApprove jcaApprove = context.getApprove();

jcaApprove.setApprove(true);

jcaApprove.setDescription("Approved Desc");

jcaApprove.execute();

 

//Setting the Promote

JCaPromote jcaPromoteObj =  context.getPromote();

System.out.println(" getToStateName "+jcaPromoteObj.getToStateName());

System.out.println(" getToStateObjId "+jcaPromoteObj.getToStateObjId());

 

jcaPromoteObj.execute();

 

 

Exception I get :

com.ca.harvest.jhsdk.hutils.JCaHarvestException: E03090027: ERROR: Could not get Approve Process from Context.

com.ca.harvest.jhsdk.hutils.JCaHarvestException: E03090010: ERROR: Could not get Promote Process from Context.

 

Do I need to set any mode to context or harvest object to make the Promote process to work. Kindly help me with this.

While observing a development team currently using ClearCase 8.0 prepare for their build it took 3 hours to attach the build label to the baseline.  What could be causing this this process to take this amount of time?  I currently support a development team that has several VOBs that control 3 or 4K and it takes no more that 10 or 15 minutes. 

Any suggestions as to the problem and how to fix?

I am getting ready to install it on my laptop.

 

This plan can addresss either FCA/PCA Formal audits or in-process CM process review and verification audits or both.

Hello,

Our VOB is of size size 52GB, 10years old, mounted on Solaris OS and using by 400 Users. From the past One Year, we observed that VOB elements are keep on corrupting with "^D" or "text_file_delta" error. We are unable to do diff with predecessor version, not able to make Builds because of corrupted files. Even we are unable to count Source Lines of Code also. I forgot to mention that, we are using ClearCase ver.6.0.

Last 8 months back, we raised a PMR, IBM resolved some file elements using "checkvob" and by remotely accessing they used some IBM scripts to solve the issue. Finally, by the end of March. We and IBM Technical Support Engineers resolved all corrupted file elements issue. Recently, we observed that 2 (two) of the files got corrupted again and VOB is not in Sync with two of our replicas. Problem started again.

Please let me know, why VOB file elements corrupts often? Is it because of, if any user uses some third party tools for his Coding/Development in VOB? We CMs follow strict polocies, some of the file elements are not even loading into VOB (Snapshot views), saying "size got exceeded". This became a big mess for us. Now, Developers are making Builds by hijacking the files. We know that, this is not a Good Practise. Please someone of you can help us in this regard. PFA, VOB Errors. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I have a question regarding SCM tools.

Some history, we've been having issues with SVN merges where it loses code. It is not common, but it happens often enough that we lose a great deal of engineering time and confidence in our releases.
 None of us are novices at this so we have determined this to be a tool issue, not PEBCAK.

We have a cross platform (Linux and .NET) build environment executing N/ant scripts with CI done in Hudson/Jenkins. The tools need to work as plugins to Eclipse for Linux, and Visual Studio for Windows.

We have reviewed git, perforce, Accurev, and TFS. For various reasons (mostly the cost wrt the latter three) mgmt has rejected these. We have 25 developers in our shop split between two teams.

I am wondering if anyone has done a side-by-side compare and contrast of the various SCM tools most commonly used so that I can go to our management who are writing the checks, and the developers who will be using the products to make an educated decision.

 

My experience is with SVN, Serena, PVCS, Perforce, and Accurev.

I have done searches myself and found some information, and I understand this is a huge thing to ask as well, but any input or links to the data needed is appreciated. I am trying to round out my data set.

Thank you,

Regards,

Hello Friends,

Please let me know, what exactly is a "Virtual VOB" in ClearCase. How to make it? implement the polocies? Do we require any seperate SW like VMVare to create a Virtual VOB? I am working in a Telecom Based Company and we are about to get a new Project, there our Project Manager requirement is to create a "Virtual VOB" using ClearCase. We will go in details in next month. Before that, I want to know what it is, why it is used for, how to create it. Thanks for all your answers for my Query.

Best Regards/Sebastian.
