Videos Videos of Dimensions CM features can be viewed online at: http://help.serena.com/doc_center/doc_center.html#dcmVid Dimensions CM Make User’s Guide 5 Welcome to Serena Dimensions CM Legal Considerations with Respect to Dimensions CM Make Some of the Dimensions CM and ADG executables and associated libraries, namely: UNIX and Windows File Windows UNIX Only Only adg ✔ dm_make ✔ dm_nmake ✔ libmcx.so ✔ mcx.dll ✔ are derived from source code covered by the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE and the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. These files, the GNU Make User Guide, and the Dimensions CM Make User's Guide are available from a download area on the Serena Web site (see details below). To have a working Dimensions CM Make and ADG system (which also enables you to use the legacy download and upload standalone utilities), you will first need to download the executables, libraries, "mini" installation scripts, and documentation from the Serena Web site as explained next. NOTE For conciseness, in the remainder of this manual the files referred to above will simply be referred to as Dimensions CM Make. As a condition of the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE and the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, source code for the above discussed executable and library files is also available, see "Source Code Availability" on page 31 and "Source Code Availability" on page 43 for details. Obtaining the Dimensions CM Make Executables A public download area containing the compressed Dimensions CM Make files is freely accessible from the following URL: http://www.serena.com/products/dimensions/dimensions-make.html Installing Dimensions CM Make Installation instructions for Dimensions CM Make are included in the Installation Guide for Windows and Installation Guide for UNIX. 6 Serena® Dimensions® CM 14.1 Chapter 1 Guide to Dimensions CM Make Overview of Dimensions CM Make 8 Online Examples 10 Setting Up MCX_LISTEN for Multi-Homed Servers 10 Dimensions CM Make Terminology 10 Invoking Dimensions CM Make 11 Integrating with Dimensions CM Versioning 12 Building Object Libraries and Other Containers 24 Building Double Colon Targets 25 Options Summary 26 Improving Dimensions CM Make Efficiency 28 Behavior of Dimensions CM Make Under Windows 29 Comparing Behavior of Dimensions CM Make to GNU Make 30 Limitations in NMAKE Compatibility 30 Source Code Availability 31 Dimensions CM Make User’s Guide 7 Chapter 1 Guide to Dimensions CM Make Overview of Dimensions CM Make IMPORTANT! The current version of Dimensions CM Make does not support Dimensions CM streams. Therefore, all references in this chapter to Dimensions CM projects (for example, particularly in the section "Integrating with Dimensions CM Versioning" on page 12) must be read with the understanding that the term "project" is meant precisely and does not also encompass Dimensions CM streams. A Serena® Dimensions® CM product can have a physical representation in the form of a directory structure. Dimensions CM Make provides a mechanism for building configurations against the directory structure by way of Makefiles and offers a close integration of the Dimensions CM product's version management capabilities with the Make capability. This mechanism facilitates full version control and audit trails for the target files created by the build process and also embeds the necessary intelligence to determine whether a target file is out of date and therefore if it must be re-built. The Dimensions CM Make approach is mainly intended for use in development environments where the use of Makefiles is standard practice. The migration time for these environments to Dimensions CM is minimized by virtue of the Dimensions CM Make facility. This manual describes the additional functionality provided by Dimensions CM Make compared to GNU Make. For information on GNU Make, please refer to the GNU Make User Guide. Electronic copies of that document can be found on the Serena Web site, in the following format variants: make.html : HTML format. make.pdf : Portable

Subversionin käyttö kuitenkin johtaa ylimääräisiin ylläpitotoimiin LUTin tietohallinnolle. Lisäksi Subversionin julkaisun jälkeen on tullut uusia versionhallintajärjestelmiä ja tässä työssä tutkitaankin, olisiko Subversion syytä vaihtaa johonkin toiseen versionhallintajärjestelmään opetuskäytössä. Työn tavoitteena on löytää opetuskäyttöön parhaiten soveltuva versionhallintajärjestelmä ja tuottaa sille opetusmateriaalia. Työssä havaittiin, että Git on suosituin versionhallintajärjestelmä ja se on myös suhteellisen helppo käyttää. Lisäksi GitLab on tutkimuksen mukaan Suomen yliopistoissa käytetyin ja ominaisuuksiltaan ja hinnaltaan sopivin Gitin web-käyttöliittymä. Näille tehtiin

  • Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor
    DECISION MATRIX Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor Selecting an ALM suite provider in a fragmented market Reference Code: OI00068-002 Publication Date: March 2011 Authors: Chandranshu Singh, Tony Baer, Michael Azoff SUMMARY Catalyst As software development environments become increasingly complex and IT organizations continue to face budget pressures, application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions become part of the toolset necessary to manage development environments and distributed teams, and to ensure timely delivery of increasingly complex application software in a resource-efficient way. Ovum has developed this Decision Matrix report to help enterprises select the most appropriate ALM vendors based on technology strength, reputation among the ALM user community, and presence in the market. Ovum aims to provide a complete view of vendor capabilities, and advises on which vendors enterprises should shortlist, consider, and explore. Ovum view Delivery Management is increasingly gaining prominence to address growing software reliability concerns. HP, IBM, Microsoft, and MKS occupy the high end of the market and are the top overall performers. Decision Matrix: Selecting an Application Lifecycle Management Vendor © Ovum (Published 03/2011) Page 1 This report is a licensed product and is not to be photocopied HP and MKS have moved to the "shortlist" category since Ovum’s last Decision Matrix: Ovum believes HP's latest offering, HP ALM 11.0, with the leading position in the software quality management market, makes the company a formidable force in the ALM market. MKS advanced on the strength of its integrated platform and reach into the specialized, highly lucrative segment of the ALM market: embedded software in product automation and systems engineering.
