We are in the process of migrating source code control from Serena ChangeMan Version Manager / PVCS to MKS Integrity. With these oldcm tools we had the ability to specify a token in a C comment field at the end of the file that when a change was committed the cm tool would addthe change revision comments/history into the C source file ass shown below. The key token $Log: $ is updated with the revision history when checking in.Is this possible with Integrity tool ? /****************************************************************************** HISTORY: ** ** $Log: E:/VM/DEVEL2/archives/Vision/Projects/BENDIX_FLC/Code/BENDIX_FLC2/Application/exetimer.c-arc $Rev 1.2 Oct 01 2012 17:15:36 jon.kuhn@xxxjon.kuhn@xxx.com.comQAC FixesRev 1.1 Oct 01 2012 10:01:46 jon.kuhn@xxx.comAdded ability to generate histograms of execution times.* *****************************************************************************

Hello,I have been tasked with setting up configuraiton management in Integrity 10.2, mainly for use with version control of trigger scripts and properties files. Despite about a week of effort, I am still very lost in how to set it up on a server or how it works. I have found/been directed to all the detailed information on CLI commands, Best Practices, etc. but I still lack a clear picture of how configuration management works from a high level perspective. I am curious if there are any documents/videos/discussions that I could be directed to which would give me a general framework of how configuration management works in general and how it fits into the big picture of Integrity itself. Any tutorial or "How-to" type material would be a life saver at this point in time.Also, if configuration management isn't the correct tool for version control within Integrity, please let me know so I can take this information to my team.Much Appreciated,Bryan R.

Another multiple condition flag question: I’d like to flag an item with 1 if it meets two or more conditions (based on different fields). Example: HistoricFieldValue(State,timestamp("Apr 1, 2013 11:59:59 PM")) == 14 AND GetYear(“Created Date”) == GetYear(Now())Thank you.

The following report field computation flags an item with a 1 if its State on a specific date/time was 10 (i.e. Closed): HistoricFieldValue(State,timestamp("Apr 1, 2013 11:59:59 PM")) == 14 ? 1 : 0. However, I’d like to flag with a 1 if the historical State was 10 (Closed) or 41 (Canceled). I've made several attempts to no avail. Can you assist please?

Hi @all,one of my users has some sporadic problems with his IntegrityClient, so we tried to search for the reasons. While we're searching it shows that his client doesnt write any information into its logfile and we didnt see why?The User is running the IntegrityClient 10.2 in Win 7 (64bit). The User has full permissions to read/write into the Integrity-install-dir and its subdirectories. In IntegrityClient.lax the redirections for StdErr and StdOut are looking like this:lax.root.install.dir=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Integrity\\IntegrityClient10lax.stderr.redirect=IntegrityClient.loglax.stdin.redirect=lax.stdout.redirect=IntegrityClient.logIn IntegrityClientSite.rc are lines like this:IntegrityClient.log.exception.defaultFormat={7}\: {2}({3}) {4}\: {6}\r\nIntegrityClient.log.message.defaultFormat={5}\: {2}({3})\: {4}\r\nlogFileName=stdoutAre there any other place to configure the logging?Thanks and kind regards, Jens

Hi,I want to know the total hours that each user (who is a group member of "England") has entered into the MKS Integrity during each week.I plan to create a new field for the computed value.Do anybody know how to write the Computation Definition?Thanks in advance.Jason

Hi all,When I send "im servers" I get back a list of three servers, production, training and sandbox. One connection was initiated using im connect, one by logging in via the Java GUI and the other changing the viewset.Is there a way to determine after the fact which connection was established by which source? How about which viewset the GUI is currently using? Both of these preferably from the command line interface.Thanks,Eric

I have problem with Date-type field. When I reduce width of item view this field shrinks so, that date is not visible. Is it possible to keep width of date field even if width on view changes?Snapshot of Reporting Date (Date-fiele)

I have a user that uses RoboHelp. Apparently there is a built-in integration with MKS in it that MKS is aware of. My user sent me and e-mail stating "We are testing RoboHelp V10, and when adding member to the Stag directory for Rolodirt, it creates the project, but does not add the members." Anybody have any ideas? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi all,I am trying to do some trace analysis using a Python script that queries MKS using im commands. I'm running into some weirdness (probably from my lack of understanding) on some IDs. We have a top level Requirements document with three subordinate Requirements documents. Some of the text from the top level document is shared to the three lower level docs and one of the shared requirements is where I'm having the problemI've shown the structure with some of the "im viewissue XXXX" data for the docs below. My problem is that the last one, 464438, shows four downstream traced documents ("Satisfied By") in the GUI but nothing from "im viewissue 464438". How do I get these "Satisfied By" links?Thanks,Eric 25715 References: 82318xyz Reference Mode: Author Referenced Item Type: Shared Requirement Shared By: 89425, 148417, 189358, 464438 Satisfied By: Decomposes To: 189358, 148417, 464438 Trace Status: downstream 189358 References: 82318xyz Reference Mode: Share Referenced Item Type: Sh

I've been searching through the myriad documents I have surrounding the CLI, and I can't seem to find a command that will give me the list of tasks assigned to a given user. Does anyone know where I can find this?

Is there a way to add spell checking to the WEB client.When we use Chrome it highlights the misspelled word but when you right click to correct in the rich text field it brings up a different menu option.When we use IE we get no notice of misspelled words.Secondly is there a way to change what dictionary to use for spell checking, such as using Microsoft's dictionary

Hi,some colleagues are using special characters in subproject names. Because of the limitation of the windows file system this leads into a conflict when someone tries to create a sandbox containing such a subproject. Windows is not able to create directories with invalid charactars. As a result of attempting to synchronize this sandbox the following error message occurs:...MKS125450: Subproject \MKS\subproject\<ABC> Project\project.pj (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect): <ABC> Project\project.pjIs there a possibility to restrict the usage of invalid characters (e.g. <,>,..) in project/subproject names on our MKS server?Thank you & Kind regardsBertram

Hi all,I have automated some MKS functionalities using the CLI option im.exe. I would like to ask if it is also possible to automate the web client and how?Thanks,

I'm looking for the best way to consolidate information into one email for a scheduled (weekly or monthly) report. I have found using emailAdvanced.js will get me close to what I want, but it sends a user an email for each item. Instead, if the query returns multiple items for the same user, I would like the user to receive only one email. I have also looked at ReportLinkEmail.js, but this script is only allowed to be used as a rule based trigger, and not a scheduled trigger. Does anyone have any recommendations for modifying either of these scripts to do what I want? Are there alternatives that I'm not aware of?

Is it possible to change the presentation default values like the font or background colors etc. so that we can have a company standard default?

Hi, by clicking on a number in a chart (e.g. Open Defects), it opens the corresponding project. When I click the number I don’t want the corresponding project to be shown, but I want to be directed to the open defects.Thank you in advance.

We are using integrity for software project management and have the timetracking function setup for recording the tasks that someone can work with. We now need to do some reporting and it seems that all timesheet reporting is focused on the time entered against an item, so I have to look at all items to determine what time was entered when.Does any know have any report recipes or know of any way of reporting on time sheets in other ways' for example, show the time that was entered per day, who entered it and what item they were working on (maybe with an ability to pick the date?). Or show all the timesheets related to a project (even if the time was entered several relationships down from the project). Or Show all timesheets by person? I know I can extract this from the DB directly if I need to, and it will take me some time to make new report recipes myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any thing they would be willing to share.

Für Dokumente besteht die Möglichkeit nicht nur den aktuellen Stand zu betrachten, sondern auch sich den Stand eines beliebigen vergangenen Zeitpunktes anzuschauen (Document/Historical/View As Of Date). Ist das irgendwie auch mit vollständigen Reports möglich? Die Antwort zu Ihrer Frage lautet JAEINEs ist möglich "historische Reports" zu erzeugen, allerdings nur unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen.1. Wenn der Report sich auf ein einzelnes Item bezieht (in der Report Definition steht dann QUERY = "Item based report selection") und sie im GUI das Item anwählen, gibt es im Menu ITEM/ HISTORICAL die Funktion "run Report as of...".Die macht im Hintergrund nichts anderes als das Items in seiner History zu rekonstruieren und dann den Report auf dieses historische Item anzuwenden. Wenn das Item über Relationships verfügt, liegen diese für die Report Erstellung dann auch in Ihren Historischen Daten vor. Das ist letzten Endes genau das, was DOCUMENT/HISTORICAL/"run Report as of" macht.Diese Funktio

Hi,When i edit a group under Workflow and Documents and change its name, the default image of the group changes from active to deactive, although the group is active..How can i change it back to active image??

Hi @all,we have a quite complex structure in our projects in Source Integrity. And sometimes our users are doing checkpoints with label, and then they realise that the label is wrong. And as you know, deleting a projectlabel doesnt work recursive (hmpf!). So we wanted to do this with a script via commandline. For this we want to know which subprojects are child-projects from this point in our structure where the label was set and (important) which of them are shares. If we look at it like this:si viewproject --project=<name of the subproject which was checkpointed> -Ythen we get a text, in which the structure is shown by the numbers of spaces in front of each line (this is a very special idea i have to say). But even worse: this isnt very reliable (we filed this already as a bug to PTC-support), because sometimes it doesnt count correctly (there are not the right numbers of space-chars).If we use the parameter --xmlapi we get a xml-structur, but i didnt found any information how
