| Hi Kim,
We have no experience with DECADMIRE. If you can give us some details
on what it is, how the customer is using it, and what he wishes to do
with respect to code management, we might be able to offer some
thoughts. It would also be helpful for us to understand why CMS was
found to be too complicated and slow.

| Hi Daryl,
I have no experience with DECADMIRE either!
The customer uses CMS for Pascal, DCL, SQL, CDD, documentation etc, but
keeps DECADMIRE modules outside the CMS library.
His reason for doing this is the lack of integration between CMS and
DECADMIRE. It is troublesome/laborious (slow was a wrong word) to reserve
and replace the number of CMS elements which compose one DECADMIRE
form/module.
The DECADMIRE forms are stored in one big Oracle rdb database to which the
developers do not have direct access. It it impossible to split this
database in forms.
That's what the customer told me...
The customer just needs to do the most common code management procedures:
Reserve & replace elements and freeze a class.

| Surely this could be done using a script.
It can be done fairly easily also for developers who do not have direct
access to the DB. If on VMS, you could have a captive account that
allows fetch, reserve, replace an element and or class.
You can also create a rights DB and write an executable using callable
CMS that allows those with the CMS_project_READ identifier to fetch.
Those with CMS_project_CREATE can create and replace files and so
forth.
Of course, now the project leader needs to determine who can have these
rights and then there needs to be the privileged user who doles out the
rights. But that's what you buy into when you say developers don't
have direct access.
But to say CMS is laborious and time consuming... I would argue that
it is the development environment that is that. If you want to make it
easy, take the handcuffs off of the developers. You put the handcuffs
on, you gots to manage the prisoners.
