Hi,
I have one issue with CVS and business objects. Whenever I save a B.O. in the Business Object Designer it saves all nested objects as well. The only thing it touches in the nested objects is the "save date" inside the .xsd file.
This is causing the nested objects to look modified from the point of view of CVS. However the business objects are the same from a structural point of view.
I wonder if anyone of you is using CVS and experiencing problems like this and if you have devised a suitable solution.
We had a similar problem with MQSI back in the days when you had to export a message flow to an XML file and then commit it to CVS.
The problem was when a flow included a subflow, the export included this "nested" flow in one large XML file.
If we had tags in the comments (e.g. $Id$) that CVS expanded out, we had to be careful when importing the committed XML back in. If we had a subflow checked out, the import would change the subflow too, and the $Id$ tag in the comments would reflect the parent flow's details.
We had to ensure that when importing stuff, you had good control over what was check out and not (from an MQSI point of view). Then when you imported a flow containing subflows, the subflows could not be updated because they were not checked out from MQSI.
I guess it depends upon whether you have the same "check out/check in" process in ICS. _________________ Regards
