Re: PowerGen Evaluation Install Question

Hi:

I have PowerBuilder 11.5 installed for a while now and I just installed PowerGen 7.5.  How can I tell if I have the Source Control Interfaces, referred to on page 16 of the guide, already installed?  I would hate to have to uninstall unnecessarily.

Thank you.

Re: PowerGen Evaluation Install Question

Hi Janie,

There are no separate interfaces to install.  In fact PowerGen does not interface directly with your source control system.  The typical scenario to, say, synchronize your application to source control is:

1. Create a PowerGen project for the application you want to syncrhonize.
2. ""Get"" the objects from source control so that they are available (to PowerGen) in the file system.
3. Run the Synchronize in PowerGen.

These operations can all be scripted in a very few steps.

And the reason we don't connect directly to source control (through the SCC-API) is that that interface is slower and less functional than the command line interface and is also very idiosyncratic between vendors.

Let me know I can help further.

Regards,

Phil
