Securely manage client folders and files
Integrated Client Versioning provides a version control solution for folders and files located on a Windows file system. This functionality was designed specifically for providing Version Control capabilities for Framework Manager and Transformer projects.
The Integrated Control Suite Client Connector is designed to work in tandem with the Integrated Client Versioning component of Integrated Control Suite. The Client Connector provides version control for Framework Manager and Transformer projects in a distributed, managed and secured manner. Users will log into the ICS Client Connector as an IBM Cognos user and can add, check out, edit, check in, delete, and synchronize versions for projects as determined and managed by Integrated Client Versioning.
Integrated Client Versioning is folder based version control system. In a more traditional source control system, individual files are checked out and checked in. These individual files have their own set of version numbers, which can cause challenges when versioning a Framework Manager project as many of the files have different version numbers. Instead of indicating a file to be versioned, in the Client Connector the user will select a folder. That folder, all files and all subdirectories are now treated as a single versioned artifact. Checking out the project will check out all of the files. Likewise checking in will include all existing files and folders and new files and folders. Adding and deleting content, such as screenshots, notes and log files is now transparent to the user.
Integrated Client Versioning can be demonstrated onsite or via a web meeting. To arrange a product demonstration, please contact us.
