What are the tools you use to manage your various customizations (Mongoose Forms, IDOs, Reports; SSRS; SQL SPs, Tables, UETs, etc.)?
And how do you use them to assess patch impact?
I need to find a better way to manage all this and need your recommendations.
So far, I've been describing my customizations in an Excel (Google Sheets) file, in which each tab is a Form (at first) or a Customization (when several Forms/IDOs/SPs/etc. are involved).This system is becoming messy, being live with CSI for one year already; it's not enough now, since:
We're using CSI 9.01.01 on-premise.
I've heard of Form Control; I've seen that Source Control tool can be linked to a User, and that Form Scripts can be automatically opened in Visual Studio (2013/2015).
What are the best options:
I'm dealing with this right now & it's making me nuts. Infor hasn't really done much on the "developer side" to make these things easy for us (IMO). There's definitely going to be a bit of "roll your own…
LOL. Sorry, I guess this is/was a serious question. The short answer is, there are no good options. Certainly not a comprehensive tool that captures all enhancements, versions them, lets you revert back…
Thanks, although quite depressing... heheh.
Is FormControl of any help?
Also, for the second part of my question: how do you analyze the impact of a patch before applying it?
I'm dealing with this right now & it's making me nuts. Infor hasn't really done much on the "developer side" to make these things easy for us (IMO). There's definitely going to be a bit of "roll your own" involved in any solution you come up with. (Tim's explanation is probably the best I've seen so far). Things I've seen/done/noticed/rambling in no order
Ok, I think that's enough pre-coffee nonsense from me this morning :) If I think of anything useful I'll chime in :)
Great discussion, if you have a chance look at Visual Studio Code. It's replaced notepad++ as my go-to editor and has a bunch of plugins, including support for GIT/SVN, built in compare/merge capabilities are good too.
