Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so

that you can recall specific versions later.

It allows you to revert files back to a previous state, revert the entire project back to

a previous state, compare changes over time, see who last modified

something that might be causing a problem, who introduced an issue and when, and

more.

Few well know Version Control tools:

Rational ClearCase

GIT

OEM change control pack

SERENA PVCS

21


Version Control Tools : Rational Clearcase

It is and IBM product that can support large and medium-sized businesses

Can accommodate projects with hundreds or thousands of developers

Supports two configuration management models:

UCM (Unified Change Management) :UCM provides an out-of-the-box model

Base ClearCase : It provides a basic infrastructure (UCM is built on base ClearCase).

ClearCase can accommodate large binary files, large numbers of files, and large repository sizes.

It supports branching, labeling, and versioning of directories.

There is both command line capability and GUI tools to handle branching and merging

ClearCase can be integrated with oracle database repository with the help of plugins.

Can perform advanced parallel development

Can perform effective IP security Authoritative build auditing

22


Version Control Tools : Rational Clearcase

23


Version Control Tools : Git

Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005,

It is a free and open source distributed version control system

Designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git

working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities,

Independent of network access or a central server.

Features:

Multiple local branches that can be entirely independent of each other. The creation, merging, and

deletion of those lines of development takes seconds

Can effectively handle large repositories Using Linux kernel.

Instead of doing a "checkout" of the current tip of the source code, you do a "clone" of the entire

repository.

Every file and commit is checksummed and retrieved by its checksum when checked back out.

It has something called the "staging area" or "index". This is an intermediate area where commits can

be formatted and reviewed before completing the commit.

24


Version Control Tools : Git

25


Version Control Tools : PVCS Serena

PVCS Version Manager is a software package by Serena Software Inc. for revision control of

files, in particular source code files.

Follows the "locking" approach to concurrency control

It has no merge operator built-in (but does have a separate merge command).

PVCS can also be configured to support several users simultaneously attempting to edit the

file.

Features:

Most programmers can use it for a simple project where the only requirement is to hold an

"incremental backup" of versions.

Multi-platform tool

Scheduling Job Tools


Scheduling Jobs

Enterprise job scheduling (or Workload automation ) is the execution of a series of computer

jobs/scripts with additional feedback about the results and ability to resubmit failed jobs,

Managing job streams and monitoring of job execution on remote servers including centralized

viewing of remote job logs.

One reason for development of various job schedulers is that Unix cron daemon and command line

execution have a pretty limited functionality.
