Source control (HP3000)

[Michael C. Lee]

The main source control system on the HP would seem to be HP Librarian (was that a
groan?). It allows the users to reserve programs and seems flexible enough to allow
you to set up your own groups (as in names), accounts and command procedures.

For example we reserve programs into a development account (DEV). Once the
programmer is finished working on the program he promotes it to a test account
(FJD). Once it's tested it's moved to a pilot account (CPILOT) and once it's piloted
to the production account (COMS). We are using Allbase and it also moves the MODULES
(if you don't know what an Allbase Module is-you're lucky) at the same time it moves
the Source and Objects. Separate commands are needed for Qdesign, QTP and QUIZ
programs.

It's not a pretty system but it is a workable one and I find we are better off using
it than before when it was fairly haphazard.
