CVS and EA Corporate

[girlie]

Can anyone tell me how corporate edition integrates with source code control?

If the packages are all in a dbms schema - what goes into cvs?

If we don't use cvs and 2 users make a change to the same package at the same time, what happens?  does the db end up with a table lock?

An explanation would really be appreciated.

Thanks,
Christine

Hi,

when you use CVS, everytime you check in the changes, the package is exported into an XML file and that file is then checked in.
If you have multiple using the repository, you may want to switch on the security and set it up so the users would be required to lock an object before editing it. That would prevent two users making changes to one object at the same time.

Hope this helps!

You are welcome :-)

If you did not try the locking mechanism, have a look at it. It works fine, but it does has its minor annoying factors, such as the fact that you can't simply see what is locked and by whom. It does serve the purpose though.
