Hi Guys

I've build a script to get the latest sources from Source Control via ORCA Script, this is not getting the latest versions and I cannot see why.

My script is below:

start session
scc get connect properties PBWPath
scc connect
scc get latest version PBRPath
scc set target PBTPATH "outofdate"
scc refresh target "full"

build application full
build EXECUTABLE PBEXEPath ICONPath PBRPath LIBFlags
scc close
end session

Specifically the refresh target "full" is doing nothing, I originally hade "incremental" and that did not work either.

Below is the output when running the script:

Appeon (R) OrcaScript interpreter version 17.2
    Using ANSI source file C:\Workspaces\PowerBuilder\pb2017r3\pbbuild.txt.

As you can see there is no output from the scc refresh target full......

Any thoughts or pointing out the obvious mistake all welcome.

Thanks

David

Ladies & Gentlemen

I have resolved my problem, thank you for Appeon Support & You all for your help. Ironically I stumbled across the problem by pure chance when investigating another problem. It's worth explaining what the problem was and how it was caused for other people to avoid.

The problem:

We had no .PBG files in our source control projects. The source control projects were brand new for the PB2017R3 migration source so that was odd in the first place.

The Cause:

The lack of .PBG files in source control was caused by existing PBG files on disk as "read only". These were copied with the source PBLs from the PB12.5 source before migration to PB2017R3. Adding objects to Source Control with "read only" PBG file on disk and no related PBG file on Source Control did not update the PBG on disk nor did it add the PBG to source control (I guess because it had not changed).

This mean that when another machine did a get latest it had no PBG files in source control to find a list of objects to compare. The odd thing was that the IDE saw changed objects but obviously no new objects, whereas ORCA did not see any changes.

The fix:

I ended up having to delete all the source from source control, delete the PBG files on disk and then do an add to source control from the PB IDE in order to regenerate the correct PBG files. This was the simplest way to be sure it was all correct. I'm sure I could have spent time regenerating the PBG files another way but as I had 134 of them to do I figured this was the fastest.

Suggestion:

I have suggested to Appeon that in the event that there is no PBG file in source control that the PBG on disk is removed and regenerated, then added to source control to rectify this problem. As a minimum an error could be given.

Hey David, thanks for sharing your solution. You will most probably not be the last to experience this scenario.

what source control?

It may be a path issue, or your source control.

 

also: 'no output from the scc refresh target full.'

I don't get output from the scc refresh target command either

Regarding the output as I have never seen it work I was not sure...

probably your path. i assume you have a directory for each pbl?

does sourcesafe have an option of getting your source files directly?



i can see it create all my SR* files from my SCC (wizsource), which is a lot easier since i delete everything out of those directories and create empty pbls.

We have script like this and working fine. Please check this once.

start session
set debug true
scc set connect property localprojpath "C:\Test\PBLs"
;localprojpath must point to the parent directory of ws_objects folder
scc connect offline
scc set target "test.pbt" "importonly outofdate"
;scc refresh target incremental
scc refresh target 3pass
scc close
end session

Try Giving below instead of  full for refresh. Full may not be working.

scc refresh target 3pass

3pass has nothing to do with getting the latest version; just compiling/regen it.

I tried the refresh_all option, but that did not work either. My PBLs are not empty as really I'm only looking to get latest on the items that have changed.

OK

I gues by the fact that this is tumble weed...... noone has any suggestions. I'll raise a support ticket with Appeon support.

Cheers
