Re: Survey of RDi users related to Source Code management

The free part sounds good but wouldn't this take all your source code our of QRPGSRC files? We do a lot of source code scanning using PDM looking for field use and other code when we work on projects

Sure

Use a free SCM like Subversion or CVS.

Your projects would check in and out source from svn and you would push your
source up to your AS/400 from RDi for compiling.

Your customization is 95% done straight out of the box. And you have TOTAL
version history... automatically.

Due to budget constraints, we wrote our own extension on SEU that would flag
source code as being changed and who had it checked out and automatically
make backup copies of source when it was checked out. We also do some
reporting off the data collected during the check in/out process for how
many apps were changed over some time period. Not a full change management
system along the lines of Aldon but sufficient for our small shop. We have
not made the move to RDi yet, partially because these SEU extensions we
added will not work in RDi. If you are using RDi, what source code
management tools are you using or have you looked at? Would it even be
possible to write our own extensions to RDi that could do the same as we
currently do in SEU?

Thanks
