Mike,
What your describing sounds more like source control than change management
so I really wonder if GIT might not be the solution for you. Several of my
customers are using it now and while it's a learning curve to get set up and
running the way you want it, I think you could mimic your process described
below without too much problem.
That said, it might be just as easy and cost effective to pick one the
change management packages, although most of them have feature/function well
beyond your stated needs at this point.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDi source control
I did ask about check in/out controls but also version history. We need
something to replace a homegrown process we built into SEU. We put a
frontend on SEU that required a programmer to check out a source file for
RPG/CL/DDS source and at that time it made a copy of the source to a
secondary file (actually 10 secondary files that each version kept rolling
back to. When a new copy was made member in file10 is cleared and file9
copied to file10, file8 copied to file9, etc). Other programmers were
preventing from accessing the code in anything other what view mode in SEU.
Programmer had to check the file back in when promoted to production. That
worked great until we started doing some Java work but only had one java
person at the time. How we have 3 and newer hires are using RDi and the
older programmers are moving there too. So our SEU based system is dead and
we need something that provides that same check out, check in, version
history function. And we are still planning on using the traditional source
QRPGSRC, QDDSSRC, QCLSRC and all of our java code is in the IFS.

To do a build on IBM i you indeed need the Enterprise Extensions, but Mikes
question is just referring to source control (check out, check in, ...) then
a 'normal' RTC would be sufficient I think.

But the first 10 developers are not free in the Enterprise version right?
And that is the version required to connect to IBM i.

Hi,
I implement RTC/Arcad as source control. RTC has a plugin for both RDi
(RPG) and eclipse (Java). So both RPG and java sources are going to the
same repository.
RTC (Rational Team Concert) is free up to 10 developers, feel free to
contact me for more information.

Onderwerp: [WDSCI-L] RDi source control
What options are available for doing source code control (check out, check
in, version control, etc) from within RDi in a mixed Java and RGP
environment?
