Re: Using RDP 8.0 i Projects

I do one repository, multiple projects all the time. ]

We have a root of:
branches
tags
trunk

then under trunk we have

/trunk/project1
/trunk/project2

If we need a branch or tag we create something under the appropriate folder.

Right, I can do that. Maybe I am missing something here, but SVN wants one
project, one repository. If I am doing maintenance, and I have multiple
projects going, a particular program may be part of multiple projects. The
projects may not be going all at once, the could be done one right after
another. I don't want separate repositories for each project, because that
isn't what happens on the i. My entire 1500 object application is in a
single library. I use libraries to segregate applications. So I want a
single SVN repository for my application, I want to check out individual
source objects into a project without creating a local copy of the
repository that contains the entire application. That might include
programs A, B, and C. I finish the coding, check it back in, and promote to
production. Some time later I set up another project to make a fix to
programs 1, 2, and 3. I also need to modify program A. I can use projects
to pull just those 4 programs into a project, but once again SVN wants one
project, one repository. How do I go about checking out just the source
objects I want to work with without creating a local copy of the entire
repository. You say it can be done, but I must be missing something here.
Creating a local copy of the entire repository would bring in all 1500
source objects, and that totally defeats the ability of a project to contain
just the objects I want to work on.

You can do that in projects. Maybe you have 20 programs that make up an
order entry application. Make that one project. Customer maintenance in
another application. You can have many projects map to one library.

Yes, that is true, but with other environments like .Net, Java, or PHP,
there is a directory structure that helps you out. Not true on i. Just

a

flat structure, with potentially multiple source files if one is inclined

to

break things up a little bit. However, mostly 1 source file is used per
language rather than per "application area". So in other environments I

can

navigate to /app/customer/controllers/ and I see a handful of source

files.

Easy to find stuff, I don't even really need to spend a lot of time
remembering the name of the object. With i, I have to sort through the

1500

source members in QRPGLESRC, or maybe it is 250 source members in

CUSTSRC.

Then I have to find the right source file, or wait while the filters

find

all the objects. Yes, I know what I am looking for, but I prefer just
having the 5 or 6 objects I am working with there for me.
