ORIGINAL: Dili My first post: quote:
editor to determine the changes made and inject the only the changed/added data to the scenario files? This is the way i think it will work best: El cid loads copy 1.234 and changes data; click in button that tags/export the changed/added data saving a .bat file with only the tagged data ; sends the file to the "RHS boss" that will inject into master 1.234 and renames to 1.235 Dili loads 1.234.... "RHS boss" injects more data into 1.235. Now the .bat file is my imagination it can be an executable that needs to load the changed data file, one file at time and inject or loads all changed data files that arrives and even has a check (to verify if there is no repeated field changed between them, but that is luxury) or any other solution, imagination is the limit. The essential issue is that both start from same data file. Dili, RCS already does all this. Using the merge function, changes from two developers can be rolled into a single baseline file easily. If two changes overlap, then it is usually flagged for human intervention. Unfortunately as El Sid alluded, RCS does not think about what it is doing (it is after all only a machine) and sometimes a human touch is required to ensure the changes make sense. Most RCS packages contain a tool (diff) to highlight differences between files (before and after) for verification purposes. Check out the Change Synchronisation slide in the tutorial from the post above. Once again this is just an example of what RCS is capable of. Everything that RCS does can be done by hand, it just gets tedious. Edit: Spelling...
