Re: Using RDP 8.0 i Projects

I don't have anything large enough to worry about what you are talking
about.

The program1.rpg should only be versioned once if there are multiple
versions being versioned, there are other problems. If it is a common
program, it should be in it's own library project.

All I am currently versioning for RPG is my "MODULES" library that has
service programs that are used across the system and (in most cases) could
be used on an entirely difference system with just a compile.

The one BIG problem I have with i Projects is debugging. For whatever
reason, the debugger brings in the source from the project instead of what
was compiled. So all copybooks are missing and thus the line comparison is
off. I have to completely delete the project just to properly debug the
program. Maybe I am missing a setting, but I can't seem to turn that off.

So I have

/trunk/project1/program1.rpg
/trunk/project2/program1.rpg
/trunk/project3/program1.rpg

But in reality I only have 1 program1.rpg.
How do I make sure I check out the correct object? Do I just have to
remember that project3 was the most recent? places I have worked tend to
have at least monthly releases, and multiple projects per release. I am
unable to picture how this would work without creating a whole lot of
confusion. I want to be able to check out from one place so I don't have to
worry about whether I am getting the right copy.

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.
