How apply configuration management on Code and Transformation Templates?

[Thomas Arnbjerg]

Hi there,
3 questions:

Does any of you have a suggestion on how to track changes to code generation templates and MDA transformation templates?

Ideally a version number attached to these templates is somehow correlated to code generated so that it is possible to track the versions of MDA/Code generation templates used to create a given version of an application.

Is there a way to preventing everyone from changing these templates?

Is there a way to export/import these templates from the command line?

Code templates are stored in reference data. You can use a VC system to control that, but not from inside EA. You need to setup that from an external tool.

Code: [Select]

xmlres = Respository.CustomCommand("Repository", "ImportRefData", sXML); is one of those undocumented features which can be used to re-load a formerly saved code template. Unfortunately ExportRefData does not work. It likely needs a control word in sXML to tell which ref-data to export. Or it's simply not implemented. :-/
