What is Roundtable TSMS ?• TSMS : Total Software Management System• SCM : Software Configuration Management

– More than version control (check-in / check-out)

– Complete management of the different work environments

• Written in PROGRESS 4GL – Specifically suited for Progress based

development– Maximum benifit with Progress environments

• Developed by StarBase Corporation, USA• Sold and supported by Progress Software

Corporation and selected Starpartners


PCODE - Menu.wOB

Roundtable Objects• OBJECTS

Basic Configuration Item (building blocks) that make up an application Configuration

• 5 Kinds of object– PCODE

Physical Files managed – PDBASE

Logical Database Objects – PFILE

Logical Database Table Objects– PFIELD

Logical Database Field Objects– DOC (not often used)


PCODE - Menu.wSUB-TYPE - Window

PCODE Objects• Code Sub-types

– Classification of PCODE objects– Examples :

program include

window SmartWindow SmartBrowser

– Primarily defined by object file extension– Contains object attributes e.g. :

• Compilable with Progress compiler• Runable• Encryptable• Deployable

– Each logical object can consist of up to 9 physical parts (individual files)

WORKSPACEDevel

Workspace• Stand alone complete

application area (isolated environment)

• Contains full set of source code, schema, scripts etc.

• Each workspace has a root path

• Contains Products and Product Modules for configuration control

• Contains a configuration of an application

• Each workspace represents a stage in the QA flow of environments e.g. Development, testing, deployment

Products & Product Modules• Products - header for

logical application model• Product Modules :

– Logical grouping of objects Often along functional baselines

– Used for configuration control

– Key component of the primary index used to store unique objects in the repository

Task• Task is the unit of work

definition• Task is required to create

a new object or version an existing object

• Used to group object changes together

• Task completion (check-in) or single object check-in creates workspace events

Roundtable and Dynamics™• Partner Deployment Package with Dynamics™

delivered by Progress Software– Preconfigured RTB environment as starting point

for new Dynamics™ applications• FCS Commercial version of Dynamics & Service Packs• Contains :

– Dynamics Core application (src/icf), ADM2, Some of ADE• Not in synch with POSSE Dynamics• rtb_010300_020000.zip (upgrade from 1.1ASp3 to

2.0A)• rtb_020000.zip (full 2.0A)

• Integration with RTB is an implementation of the generic SCM support in Dynamics™

• NB: Requires understanding of Roundtable Use and Configuration


Links between RTB & Dynamics• Product Modules

– RTB Product Modules prefixed with site numbere.g. 019s2k-obj

– Dynamics Product Modules without site prefixe.g. s2k-obj

– Base product module names must match

• Object Classification : – RTB Code Subtypes = Dynamics Object Types

• e.g. SDO, SmartWindow, StaticSDV

– For customized Object Types : • <site number>_Object Type_xxxx = RTB Code

Subtype


Links between RTB & Dynamics...• Automated version control (check-out) from

Dynamics– Handled by triggers– Using RTB API and normal checks for

concurrent check-outs etc. • Version control of Data using XML

– Automated creation and update of .ado (XML) files for Dynamic Objects

– Enables version control and Configuration Management of any data as XML

– XML integration allows for Export / Import between RTB and Dynamics repositories• Useful for loading existing applications

– Deployment of Data (DataSets) handled as part of Configuration Management


Links between RTB & Dynamics...• Integration with DCU

– Schema updates and data processing can be handled by DCU on Workspace Updates

• Version control of ERWin diagrams and Forward Engineered schema files


Customizations• Extension of Event Handler in RTB – examples

: – Date & Time Stamping of objects on check-

out / check-in– Extension of deployment to support

Deployment Partitioning for WebClient installations

– Extend support for AppServer compilations – ...
