Software version control / level of patch management

Hi all

I have spent a bit playing with the enterprise version of hyperic (seeking to replace nagios monitoring of our 250ish windows/unix servers). I can't find a feature that may be critical for us - Version control.

IE. We agree with software foo with patches bar1 and bar2 be in our environment.

Any ideas on how this can be achieved would be appreciated.

MJH

MJH,

You are right, the plugins versions for you as part of the automatic detection report. And you can create a group of a given type of resourcce across all your machines to give you information, reports and alerts that apply to all instances of just that software.

What is the updates, since you can't use puppets, you can create alerts based on the version that Stacey pointed out, and you might consider using a script that the fix or upgrade. This script can be triggered manually by you when you are alerted of a version number or automated via your link of your script to your version change alert.

For example, you upgrade/patch system, then set an alert for you say all the systems that do not match this version. You upgrade/patch all machines not this version.

Let me know if this helps.

  • Software designer Oracle 10 G in Version control?

    Hello world
    I intend to use Oracle Designer 10 G version control software like VSS in addition to its traditional use to create diagrams entity-relation etc.
    Is Oracle Designer good to store files, remaining with history etc?
    Please notify.

    Concerning
    IQ

    Version in the Designer control is extremely powerful, actually too powerful, it can be extremely complicated to use. I agree with other Councils to use something else. However, you can emulate aspects of version control in the designer by appointing sound records. Designer is good for storage of the files as well.

    Unfortunately Oracle in their wisdom decided not to develop Designer and put their efforts into SQL Developer Data Modeler!

  • I could develop Java Application for Blackberry device software version 5.0 to 6.0 JDE

    Hi, expert,

    I saw this line of the ' BlackBerry Java Development Environment - 4.7.0 - fundamentals Guide'.

    It is said:

    ===============================

    With each major version of the BlackBerry Device Software and the FMV of BlackBerry, Research In Motion includes the
    corresponding Java API and version of the BlackBerry® Java® development environment. The version of the BlackBerry device
    Software determines the version of the BlackBerry® integrated development environment that you can use to develop
    applications. For example, RIM released BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0 and BlackBerry JDE version 4.0 in even
    time. BlackBerry JDE version 4.0 supports APIs that were introduced in BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0
    and BlackBerry JVM version 4.0.

    The applications that you create by using BlackBerry JDE Version 4.0 only work on BlackBerry devices
    running BlackBerry Device Software version 4.0 or later.

    =========================

    The last sentence talking about version 4.0 of JDE. I think that would mean that I could not develop a java application on JDE 6.0 for Blackberry 5.0 version of the software, even if I do not use any new API to 6.0. However, it seems to me that it is a useless limitation. Could someone throw some lights on it?

    I'm going to agree with superdirt here.

    I have the 5.0 OS update of applications work well on OS 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 of the OS OS phones.  I try not to recompile for levels of the OS, if I can, and so far I've been perfectly safe with OS 5.0 running on the later levels of the operating system.  So you should be able to get away with just using OS 5.0.

    Not that it is important for you, but I just thought I documents some historical information about level changes.  .

    As far as I know it 2 change cod in the file format, one to the 4.0 OS and the other in OS 4.2.  Therefore, if you want to run anything in OS 6.0 or above, it must be compiled in OS 4.2 or higher.  Again, I have applications compiled to OS 4.2 running on OS 6.0, without no problem devices.

    There have been changes to the API - the result is that the code that works in OS xx does not work in OS yy where yy is after xx.  I hit a few of them and have so far managed to rework the code so that it works very well on both levels of the operating system.  In general it is things that I do wrong anyway, as the older operating systems (from memory) are not as strict on when the event Thread must be used.

    The problem with OS 4.7 compatibility is an impact and to get more of this, for devices touch screen only, I compile using OS 4.7.  If an application that uses only the functionality that was available in the OS 4.2, I compile on OS 4.2 for non touch screen phones and OS 4.7 for touchscreen phones.  And everything works fine.

    I hope this helps.

  • Software Version Upgradation

    Hi Experts,

    We have Cisco VC configuration with details as below:

    1. Control of VCS with version X.7.0.1
    2. MCU 4501 with software version 4.2 (1.46)
    3. Codec C40 with version TC4.2.1.265253

    The existing installation works independently and not integrated with Cisco Call Manager. Now, since we need to integrate VC with Call Setup Manager 10.5, so, we must update the versions of above material according to the link thebelow

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/unified/communications/system/versions/IPTMtrix.html#pgfId-1163447

    So, my question is on the pre-requistie to keep in mind as any DRAM or we can simply upgrade to the latest version now and later on we can upgrade integrate with Call Manager 10

    Finally, I can find the firmware TC6.3.3 and TC7.3.0 to C40. Which one should I go to?

    regds,

    Aman

    You can go directly to TC 6.x or TC7.x if you want to, with all the different security issues, probably the best going with the latest version of the software. Just need a version key valid since it is a major release of the version you currently have.

    Looking to register your telepresence to CUCM codecs? If so, suggest you read Administration of running TC7.2 on 10.5 UCM endpoints.  If you plan to save your end points of CUCM, you CUCM destined firmware.  If you plan to save your VCS or use as a standalone codec, then the software package that you have surrounded in your image, it is what you want.

    VCS will require a release key as well, since it will be a major version upgrade, the latest version is X8.5 that came out last month. MCU requires that no key release at all, so you can improve it without concern.

    If you have valid support contracts you can get the keys to release of Cisco Licensing Portal, select "Get the other licenses", then "Telepresence Software Release Key.

  • In the Apex version control

    We are fairly new to apex, and we plan to create a broad application using the latest version of the Apex.  We plan to use Subversion (SVN) version control tool.

    We have 3 scenes like

    -Development

    -Staging

    -Production

    Our plan is to use the same id of the workspace, the application id and the ID of page in all environments, so that we can apply individual for the pages of the application changes after the initial version is deployed in all 3 environments.

    The workflow will be development in the development-> Testing environment in staging-> deploy to Production

    What is a good way to make the Apex version control?   Is there any other better practical approach that we can use?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Dragonia,

    Start with, you're in the right direction! The first (step 1) for control of current version of APEX is to have cloned DB systems for DEV/TEST/PROD. This ensures internal APEX IDs are the same in all settings and it will help us to detect only valid changes.

    Step 2: export the individual components of the APEX in sql files. Add them to version control.

    To export individual components of APEX in the form of sql files, you can use the Java utilities provided by APEX. These classes are under the folder path below APEX zip

    \apex\utilities\oracle\apex

    APEXExport.class - use this utility to export specified from the specified workspace APEX and DB application

    APEXExportSplitter.class - use this utility for dividing bulk single apex sql file into individual sql files (generates an sql for APEX component)

    Step 3: when changes are made, rerun the utility of separator and validate the svn changes (you can only commit files sql for components respective apex which you have changed)

    Step 4: build patches script to migrate following environment changes (the hard part!)

    There is no easy way to do this by their SUMMIT. You must take all the files of sql that you changed, and you must prepare an installation script to run all of these sql files. When you run apex splitter, it gives you all the parts of apex with a well organized with install.sql file folder structure. You can see this install.sql file to prepare your own patches script.

    Another difficult point is - some components of the APEX should be deleted before re-creating them. For example if you changed the page 10 and you want to export the following environment changes, then install.sql sample will be as below

    -- install.sql
    @application/init.sql
    @application/set_environment.sql
    @application/delete_pages.sql
    @application/pages/page_00010.sql
    @application/end_environment.sql
    

    And the contents of delete_pages.sql will be as follows

    -- delete_pages.sql
    SET DEFINE OFF 
    
    BEGIN
        wwv_flow_api.g_mode := 'REPLACE';
    END;
    /
    
    BEGIN
        wwv_flow_api.remove_page (p_flow_id=>101, p_page_id=>10);
    END;
    /
    

    And this isn't the end of the story. Some of the changes to shared component can be directly applied to the next environment using sql scripts generated by splitter apex (such as models, methods of application), but some of the shared components cannot be. We must first remove and then we have to recreate it using files sql generated via a dispatcher of the apex. And we need to go through the undocumented internal APEX wwv_flow_api care to know what procedure we use to remove that shared component package.

    Also when delete us a page, then all registered users reports public and private will be lost. So before you move your changes to Production, you should export user reports public/private and you should re - install Production DB after the installation of pages.

    To summarize, apex version control applications is not hard, but preparation 'delta script or patch' is very difficult.

  • Integrate SQL Developer with IBM's Clearcase Version control

    Hello

    I explored the part of version control for SQL code by incorporating my SQL with Clearcase from IBM Developer. So far I have not been successful with it, I managed to remove the SVN Version control options, but I am not able to use it for my Clearcase link. Could I know please if there is any plugin available from Oracle for this to do. If it please help & drop your suggestions.


    Thank you

    Michael ([email protected])

    Hi Julien,

    There is ClearCase comes available for JDeveloper extension versions, and as any given SQL Developer release some releases JDeveloper, you may be able to find an appropriate version of the extension for your use case.  Looking for ClearCase in the center of update JDev:
    http://www.Oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@OTN/documents/WEBCONTENT/131167.XML

    Of course, ClearCase is Nolisted in the release notes for SQL Developer as a supported Version control system:

    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/SQL-Developer/downloads/sqldev-releasenotes-v4-1925251.html

    If you want to give it a go, however, here's what I did to install a ClearCase plug-in for my 4.0.1 Developer SQL...

    1. check the SQL Developer Help > about > Extensions for the version of oracle.jdeveloper.vcs (12.1.3.2.41.140207.1351)

    2 downloaded vcs - clearcase_bundle.zip (12.1.2.0.40.66.68 is the closest available JDev version)

    3. in the zip file, modify or replace the value of the property maxVersion in the META file - INF\bundle.xml (from 12.1.2.0.40.66.68 to 12.1.3.2.42.99.99)

    4. install the zip: Tools > features... > Check for Updates (top-right) > install from a Local (radio button) file...

    5. now, ClearCase will be available from the main tool bar: team > ClearCase

    I don't have a ClearCase installed on my machine, so that's as far as I could go.  I hope that you will still make progress.

    Kind regards

  • vCO Plugin Version Control System Support

    I read in some places that there is support for maven vCO to manage workflows (and other stuff of package) in a build and version control for the side dev.  In the Orchestrator Release Notes, there is a bulleted list item:

    • The version control system support
      Client vCenter Orchestrator offers the possibility to export existing packages directly to a folder. Once workflow packages are exported, they can be easily integrated with a version control system and the content can be easily worked within the team.

    And in this forum thread, I read that there is even a maven plugin to serialize an XML file and the binary .package...

    Version control for the workflows of vCO and packages

    The problem is that I can't find a lot of documentation of all this stuff of Maven.  I found the following link talking about the maven repo, which comes with the vCO.  However, I use the vCO comes with the vCAC device, and that the link does not work against my camera vCAC.

    Creating Plug-Ins using Maven

    (1) where the docs on the maven stuff?

    (2) where the maven repo in the context of the Oct in the context of device vCAC?

    Thank you!

    I think we are talking about different things:

    Versioning of workflows (and other 'content' vCO) vs vCO developing a Plugin.

    Of course, you must first included in your Plugin development process, too.

    Maven integration mentioned in the development of Plugin release notes targets vCO, it is available in the 5.5.1 'stand-alone' device, but NOT YET in the 5.5.1 version that is part of the vCAC.

    As Christopher mentioned, go to the 'Develop with vCO' link on the homepage of the device to see the commands to use for developing a plugin maven archetypes.

    If you are not interested in the development of a plugin for vCO, but 'just' for version control workflows, it is not of interest.

    See you soon,.

  • Oracle forms version control system

    I'm used to subversion, but this does not mean that it is the right tool for you. GIT is a distributed version control system that provides the ability to create local chapters that sometimes miss me in subversion, for example when I do a greater research who needs significant changes to code.

    At the end of the day, you read about the characteristics of some version control systems, to play and see if it fits your needs. At least that's what I did 7 years ago when we checked the subversion.

    For example, take a look here:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software

    Don't be overwhelmed by the amount of VCS out there. That's just my opinion, but the free Source Open (like subversion or GIT) VCS are at least as powerful as their commercial counterparts (of not more powerful), so I will abstain to scrutinize sales.

    What is diff/merge is in a team of 4 developers I guess having to resolve conflicts is rather rare?

    There are a few possibilities but to compare changes:

    -convert your forms to XML format and compare with a plain vanilla diff viewer: conversion of an Oracle Forms Application

    -convert the pll files in text format gross LDP with rwconverter and compare with a spectator ordinary vanilla diff

    -use a commercial tool like FormsTool - ORCL Toolbox

    I don't know, maybe there are other tools of differentiation/fusion available as well, but that's what we use (Forms tool in collaboration with rwconverter to merge pll files, as this does not well in the forms tool but not the fault of the tool itself, but on the API, it based on...)

  • Distributed Version Control in JDeveloper 9.0.3.5

    Hello

    I am currently using JDeveloper 9.0.3.5(Build 1453) with Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 applications to sponsor OAF.

    What I googled so far, all signs point to 'NO' but is it possible to use a system of control of distributed like Git or Mercurial with this version of JDeveloper? The only options I see are CVS and Rational ClearCase SCM Oracle9i. Currently, my company is not no matter what version control system. How to use version control system / do you offer?

    At the time 9,0,3, there is no such thing as Git.

    We support Git in new versions of JDeveloper.

    Version 9, the best would be to use the free CVS version management.

    Another option is to use the tools-> external tools to define calls to the command-line Git, passing parameters in the files that you want to check in and out.

  • How to add the large number of RoboHelp docs to SharePoint version control

    I'm on RH11 and some versions of SharePoint, which I'm not sure. I am able to add a document to both HR SharePoint Versioning (file > Version control), but I must have about 49 000 with version control in RoboHelp.  I was able to get the files in SharePoint, but now I have to get RoboHelp to be managing the large number of files.

    How can I get RoboHelp to give version control a large number of documents at a time?

    Are - you're talking about individual files or projects? I guess that the individual, since 49 000 project files can be a bit heavy.

    If you add a project to version control, RoboHelp will add all the files in SharePoint. This will take a little time (set HR to add it before you go out for lunch or before going home). At the end of the day, you can check in the entire project in a single click. Or you see something else?

    You can still manipulate the files .apj of HR to very quickly add loads of files to a project. If you have files in SharePoint, you can update the FPJ files (use the following script: missing subject Fixer). Then remove the CPD and start the project.
