download (20k)

History window

Winmerge runned from AOT Version Control

Features

• store XPO of selected AOT item in VSS
• allows to view history of changes (checkins)
• can be integrated with diff tools (such as WinMerge) to view changes

Prerequesits

• Axapta 3.0
• VSS 6.0

Installation

• import XPO
• add the VCS_VersionControl menu to the SysContextMenu menu
• restart Axapta

Configuration

• Right click on the any AOT item
• select Add-Ins \ Version control \ Parameters
• insert a record (record with the empty user name are default paramaters for each user)
• set the following fields:
  • clear user names values
  • path to database (for example \\AXAPTA\vss$\srcsafe.ini)
  • VSS project (for example Axapta\Application - is's the path to the existing project on the VSS)
• insert another record (your personal settings)
• set the following fields:
  • working folder - path to the existing folder where XPOs will be exported to (for example С:\axapta\myApplication)
  • user name - your user name in the VSS
  • password - your password in the VSS
  • path top diff - path to the diff tool you ae using (for example C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe)
  • save this record

Usage

Import your existing AOT items

• run VCS_ImportLayer from AOT
• change layer to the value you want to import (usr for example)
• write comment ("initial import", for example)
• press OK
• wait

other

All standard actions are under Add-Ins \ Version control submenu of the contect menu of AOT items.

All actions do the following:

• find a set of exportable AOT items (for example if you are checking in a method, it will check in the class; if you check in Classes node of your project it will check in all classes; and if you check in a project it will check in project structure and all its contents if recursive checkbox is set)
• perform the action

TODO

Use Axapta compare tool instead of external diff
