Hi,

We are running into an issue of version control on the project I am currently working on. Currently, we are still fixing production problems for a phase 1 implementation to be released by the end of the month. Concurrently, we are also supposed to be working on writing and testing code for new functionality for phase 2.

The two suggestions to maintain consistency on the Development box are:

1) Export the message flows and manually version the XML files.

2) Create a global indicator in the incoming message that will denote whether Phase 1 or Phase 2. An "if" statement will check the condition that surrounds the new phase 2 code and if the variable is set properly, will only execute that new code.

Anybody have any input on this? I can see advantages/disadvantages to both but would like to hear what you all have to say.

Thanks,

MG

I'd prefer to have two versions of the message flows in the same configuration manager. For example, MFA_Phase1 and MFA_Phase2. So if there is any bug that needs to be fixed in production (phase 1), you could make changes in MFA_Phase1 and migrate it to production, you will also have to reflect the same change in MFA_Phase2 version. Finally, when you implementing phase2 in production, you will have to deploy MFA_Phase2 copy of your message flow.
I know it's painful but I don't think of any other solution right now.
