´Hello,
we are developing our own customzations using the IFS Developer Studio. The changes can accumulate over time and instead of building a delivery every week or so we would like to automatically deploy all modified files in batch.
I found multiple interesting approaches., but none work for us reliably at the moment:
Building the delivery manually
https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/22r2/070_remote_deploy/500_building_manually/030_build_delivery/
We cannot do this at the moment. We do not have access to download the required ifs_fetch related tools.
Using IFS Developer Studio
I discovered that right clicking the Database Connection in IFS Developer you can Generate & Deploy
- Modified files (seems based on git)
- Open files in editor
This works well enough for entity/projection/client files but not for fragment or cdb files.
My workaround at the moment is to keep a list of modified files with path (A workaround for .fragment files is to include the respective client/projection files in the list). Put those file paths into a .cmd file. Associate all relevant files with IFS Developer Studio. Start the cmd. All files will open in the Studio and then use the context menu action to generate & deploy all open files in editor.
One can also automatically generate the changes file list by using a git command. For example
git diff san-1682402180-OK --name-only --line-prefix='C:\Users\crie\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Test3\workspace\'But afterwards you need to comment out .cdb and fragment files.
Does anybody know of a different, more elegant solution?
All the best and thanks for any help ;)
