[IDT 4.x] Ability to update Universe by 2 developers simultaneosly

[mhmohammed]

All,

Does BO have a capability such that if 2 developers update the universe at the same time, the updates made by them both should be merged and reflect in the universe in repository.

Thanks,

Project Synchronization works best for parallel development between Business Layer (BL) and Data Foundation(DF) when worked by 2 developers.

1.Care must be taken always to "Lock" the shared project BL or DF which ever is being worked upon.

2. Always make it as a practice to use lock/unlock BL/DF and do a synchronize before starting the work. In case of conflict, check with who ever is working on it

3.Make sure the synchronized version with all changes is published any time to repository.

4. Save to Server will save your changes to shared project and Get changes from server will retrieve changes from shared project to your local repository. If Developer A is working on DF and Developer B is working on BL(both after locking), then both A and B must do a Save to server for their respective layers (DF & BL) and do a "Get changes from Server" for the layer which the other developer has worked on (vice-versa). This way A's local project has (DF by A + BL changes from B) and B's local project has (BL by B+ DF changes from A). Thereby both A,B's local projects are in synch and same now, Either of them could publish.

Hope that helps.

These updates should have done on different times . You can synchronise this.

Thanks Kulbir.

Using the Project Synchronization option? Seems, there's some reading that I need to do.
