Re: Is there any Free Change Control for system I

interesting.. can you explain me how you installed GIT on IBM i and how you
scheduled to backup source on regular basis?

Yes I have created a simple CHECKOUT/CHECKIN command . But now I have to
add a lot of logic in it to make it work like a real change control.
(Archiving source, reporting conflicts, remove source from development
before moving into QA and so on )

You last statement is the key problem for us :) "That everyone else knew
I had it 'checked out'. Some developers don't bother looking in details
and override changes. My idea is that remove production source access from
developers and give them a tool so that they can checkin/checkout objects.
But tool needs to be good enough so that it won't hurt anyone.





Regards

You don't need Bitbucket. I run Git on IBM i, where the repos get
backed up by my regular backup strategy.

it works but my problem
is that I have 60 source libraries and maintaining them in GIT for Dev /

QA

and Prod is a big full time job/task..

I have almost as many libraries (I don't have the power to change that)
and I think the easiest way is a separate repo for each library.

I want something as simple as
checkin / checkout..

Many years ago I spent a few minutes to write a CHECKOUT / CHECKIN
command and made it a PDM user action. That would copy the member to my
test library and put my initials as the source type in the production
library. That way everyone else knew I had it 'checked out'.
