I am not sure if this is dicussed earlier.
We have development, Test and production Environments implemented with MQ and MQSI. Planning to implement effective version control tool.
Any ideas which tool is best and what is industry standard for MQ and MQSI components?
Any discusstions related to this topic are most appricaited.
Thanks

WMQI resources are exported into XML format (XML files), so you could use any version control tool to version these XML files.

I'm not sure you'll get consensus on the best version control tool on the market. In my opinion, probably the most used is Concurrent Versions System (CVS). It is open source (free) and is used by most open source development projects (e.g. for Apache web server). You can get a copy from www.cvshome.org.
It's quite easy to set up and there are free GUI's available. My preference is www.wincvs.org.
CVS can be implemented as a client/server version (with the server running under inetd on a Unix box).
CVS is very good at handling text based files (i.e. the xml exports from WMQI) and can be made to handle binary files if required (WinCVS checks files before adding them and you can then add them as binaries).
CVS supports tagging of multiple files (e.g. tag all files as "release-1") and also supports branching and merging (how useful this is for WMQI I am not sure).
The file format CVS uses to save stuff is the unix "standard" RCS and is very robust.
You can use the saveqmgr support pack (MS03) to save queue manager definitions and use WMQI export to save data flows. You can then commit these changes into the CVS repository as required. |
