Re: Aldon in a full build scheme

[Pete Hall <pbhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use a different (not Aldon) CMS and have good success with service 
program creation. The CMS keeps track of the modules. If one of them 
changes, when it's promoted, the CMS knows it needs to recreate the service 
program. If a new module is added, it's simply a matter of checking out the 
binding directory, changing it, and checking out the service program for 
recompile only. Of course there's the binder language too. That may or may 
not need to be checked out and updated, depending on the change. Promotion 
is all automatic, and we rarely have a problem as long as everyone plays by 
the rules.
