Setting up a collaborative environment

A business intelligence and data warehouse project has multiple software products. None of these products operates or produces the same collateral. In order to do this, you need to create an environment where you can check code in and out, as information is updated. Version control tools can be used to track changes to code, or to enable collaboration. A lot of information is contained on individual workstations. By setting up a version control environment, information can be shared and stored centrally, and versioned.

Getting ready

Choosing a version control tool is not easy. Some of the main contenders are:

  • Subversion
    • VisualSVN Server Standard Edition is available at low cost or no cost
    • Collabnet
    • Subversion Edge is another server product available at low or no cost
  • Perforce

Both of these are viable as there is some level of integration into Oracle toolsets. Subversion is the general tool of choice. These tools require a server version installed, so that developers can connect and check their code in and out. For this recipe, we will use VisualSVN Server Standard Edition to set up a collaborative environment.

How to do it...

The standard edition of VisualSVN can be downloaded from: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/download/.

  1. Download the software from the website and start the installation by double-clicking on the MSI package; the installation wizard will start.

How it works...

By installing a Version Control server, you have created an environment where you can share code and information. Information such as scripts, code snippets, exports from tools, and documentation can all be shared and controlled using a Version Control environment. Using this environment, you would create additional folders under each environment that corresponds to the release numbers within your Requirements Traceability Matrix.
