Is there anyway to maintain file structures from Serena Version Manager within Developer Studio? For example, if FEXs are in Folder A and ACXs are kept in a subfolder of Folder A - is there anyway for developer studio to maintain that file structure when using source control instead of merging all files into one folder?

Hi Jessie,

I asked our internal people and here is what I heard back:

Files for an application are created in one directory. Developer Studio is then able to determine how to place those files in Developer Studio’s own virtual directories based on the extension of the specific file.
By default a fixed number of virtual folders per application are created and the developer can further customize and assign file types to each virtual folder.

To accomplish the customers request, this can be done by using separate applications to store resources.

For example they can create an application called metadata where they store the FOCUS tables: MAS and ACX files, and they can create another application where they store the procedures FEX files for example called sales_demo.

The developer can then create a project with any name that resides in app sales_demo and references app metadata. Any new procedures and htm files will be created in the default app specified for the project, which, in this case, is sales_demo. New tables need to be created in app metadata and a separate project can be created that points to this application/folder.

By splitting applications based on resources they can maintain the same structure in the VCS database.


Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry
