OnTime v6 and Source Code Control - Part 3

Part 1 can be found here.
Part 2 can be found here.

Previously, I've demonstrated how we can set up a Source Control Provider in OnTime, and add a link between a defect in OnTime and a file under Source Control.  Now I'll show you the fun part, how to check files in and out through OnTime.

Here we see our defect with the file link that was created last time. Now, you can click on the "check out button", and presto:

We see now that OnTime is telling us that the file is checked out. Let's go edit it.

We've edited our file and saved it, so let's come back to OnTime and check it back in.

After we put in any checkin comments and click on "Checkin", the file is now checked back in to Vault. However, we may need to see what the history of the file as well. Through OnTime, we can do this also:

Click on "View History" and the history for the file is brought up (you can also select a version of the file and click on "View" to see the file as it existed at that version):

Here is Vault's history explorer for comparison:

We've also added the SCM integration into OnTime for VS.Net:

That just about covers everything as far as SCM integration goes. As always if you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

This features looks great and is something that I found somewhat lacking in an otherwise very nice product.

I do have one question though: will SourceGear also recognize OnTime as a defect tracker? That way, a feature could be associated with a check in using the regular VS.NET check in procedure.

I believe that SourceGear supports a plug-in style architecture, so maybe Axosoft can provide an officially supported plugin? (If Axosoft is using Vault (cf. Part 1), then that would seem like a must?)

Its great to see integration with VSS however it doesnt quite go as far as I would have hoped (or perhaps I am missing something). It appears to handle adequately the linking of files within VSS to a OnTime defect and the eheck-in/check-out process.
What I would like to see is some mechanism where we can actually store what the actual source file version was that was changed to fix a defect. This is essential for our build and release process that we track the source version numbers that were affected by the fixes that we plan to rollout.

Fantastic stuff.. also good to see a plugin for perforce, but will checking a file allow a bug status to be changed at the same time ?

I downloaded and installed the free version of OnTimeV6. When I select Perforce as the SCM in "Manage SCM", I get a runtime error. Any suggestions?

Maitreyee,

Can you take a screenshot of the error and send it to support@axosoft.com?
