Hi All,
I have gone through some dicsussion tpoics in this forum regarding getting the version number of MF/MS poulated dynamically from source control, however, I could not get it done successfully.
One of the discussion topics I have gone through was http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28067&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
We are using V7 broker and Visual Source Safe (VSS) as source control. I have followed the instructions in some of the disucssion topics and specified '$id$' for the message flow in the 'Version' field of the message flow 'Properties' and checked into VSS. I checked out the file from VSS and built the bar and deployed to broker. In the EG when I see the flow info by clicking on the flow, I see just $id$ in the 'Version' info. I thought I would get the version info from VSS and will show the version number.
I have read something from another thread ...

I tried doing it this way...
Right click on message flow and select the 'Resource' option and select the radio button 'Other' for the option 'Text file encoding' on the right hand side and selected US-ASCII from the drop down list.
It still does not work.
Do I have to ask my VSS admin to change any settings in VSS also?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

Why would you think that? According to [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d826hy97(VS.80).aspx]this[/url] the $Id$ keyword isn't one of those supported by VSS (of which my knowledge is mostly what Mr Google just told me). IHMO what you want is $Revision:$

You'd certainly have to in SubVersion (where the $Id$ keyword is supported).

Try this
$MQSI Version=$Revision: $MQSI$ to the Long description of the message flow. |

The deployed bar with the above specification in the flow long description displays like below.
| Code: |
| Version $Revision: $ |
Should I have to ask my VSS admins to make any changes so that version from VSS will be dynamically picked up?
Thanks

The one I suggested is good for CVS.
