I am trying to configure Jenkins for our continuous integration server and have already installed Ant. I would like the first step of the build to be to call the si resync command and found a coument describing an ant task implemented in a jar called mkstask.jar. I have looked everywhere and can't find it on my client or on the server. I also searched the web and can't seem to find it there either. Does this thing really exist or is it just a cruel joke? Attached is the document I found that describes the task. Thanks.Jim

Hi,I'm having a problem in my script where MKS is miscasting a file as a binary when it isn't. Is there a way around this ?

Hi all:In the original solution in Integrity 10, I copied input document type with its input/share input types to create a new document type, also I adjust the new document type's document model configurations in the Edit Type dialog, but it can not be displayed in the document menu of the client UI when I want to create a document with the new created type, why?

So I am using this method from the Issue Bean for a Test Case to loop through the Test Results. I want to be able to sort the beans based on a field, but do not know of a smooth way to do this. I am basically looking for the latest Test Result so that I can pull information off of it.Any ideas?Cheers,Don

HI,We have MKS Integrity 2009 with SQL server 2008 as backend. I like to list the development paths and users list who has access to it. How can I get list from SQL Server 2008 query?Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if its possible to take a file from an attachment field and attach it in an email through a trigger?

I am looking for the templates needed to Emport and Import files from MKS Integrity 2009 to Excel and/or Word. The files are not located as described in the user guide and I was wonedering if anyone knew where I could find copies. According to Customer Support, PTC is in the process of moving the files and threads from the Legacy system and they are not sure when they will become available. Any assistance that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. Looking for: 1. MKSIntegrity2007_SP2_MSExcel2003_Integration.zip2. MKSIntegrity_MSWord_3_0_Integration_R2.zip

What is the command used to list the checked-in files in a specific Source project ?

MKS Source changes binary files automatically, how to prevent this? (migrated thread) Posted: Dec 8, 2011 7:54 AM    andreas.ulbricht2     Posts: 47   Registered: Nov, 2007 We made the experience that MKS Source changes content of binary files, probably since we have upgraded to MKS2009 version. The change of the regarded binary files seems to be triggered by the archive type of these files, which is set automatically to text by the MKS source system. The workaround provided by MKS to prevent change of (binary) files after standard check in and check out actions consists of inclusion of the type of file characterized by the file extension into a policy. This is absolutely not practicable for us, as we cannot check any file by extension whether it is changed by the MKS system or not and include it in a policy. Furthermore the described behaviour is absolutely not what we expect from a version control system. We expect from a version control system tha

I have a growing number of requests to enforce mandatory time entry, but specific to certain groups, certain states, and other attributes of the underlying item. For example, we currently mandate that time entries exist before we can move on to a "fixed" state. By doing that we ensure that some time is entered, but the approach boldly assumes without proof that the time entered includes the actual fixing. Person "A" might put in a time entry for diagnosis, and then person B might fix and forget to enter time. Mandating that time entries exist generically doesn't help us catch person B's omission.Additional requests include mandating entry of time by QA team members for verification of fixes. Of course with our "time entries exist" mandate already met by the time of fix, it is too late to use that generic mandate again for a subsequent workflow state.Before I go and invent a super-cool multi-purpose time-entry-checking trigger script I am sharing this with the community in the fond hope

I'm attempting to use ideamksplugin ( http://code.google.com/p/ideamksplugin/wiki/How_To_Build )With Integrity 2009 SP6 and IntelliJ Community Edition. Has anyone done that? Successfully? Got alternatives?Open source and maven and stuff are not familiar territory for me. So far I am stuck learning how to find the dependencies..Any help is always welcome.

1. Create 3 viewsets as META-DEV,META-TEST & META-PROD.If I click META-DEV view set it needs to display DEV Environment items. Similarly other view sets META-TEST point to TEST Environment and META-PROD point to PROD Environment.Note: META-DEV need not display 'TEST' & 'PROD' EnvironmentThanks in adavanceshankar

Hi all,Having some trouble getting integrity to shutdown on a system reboot. As far as I can tell, everything is installed properly. I can start and stop the service manually doing: service mksis stop or start, there's a symlink to it in the rc6.d folder, (ran chkconfig --add) but it still doesn't stop on a reboot. it may not be that big of a deal, but flex complains on the license server (different vm) that the license limit is already reached because it hasn't timed out yet. I know a little about linux - mostly ubuntu. As a test, I stuck the stop line (service mksis stop) in the rc script: S01reboot. this caused the service to attempt to stop, but it doesn't appear to succeed. This is evidenced by the console showing that its "stopping", but the log file never shows a shutdown, just the subsequent startup at boot.I'm wondering if maybe it needs to run before everything else starts shutting down, like a dependent service is getting turned off before it can do what it needs to do?Any i

Where do I look to find out if there is any costs associated with upgrading from 2010 to 10.1 and then to 10.2? (I really, really want the plugins for Rational 8.0.3!)Rick

Is there a way in MKS SI 2009 to perform atomic checkins?For example, I'd like to add, drop and edit files and check in all of those changes as a single, atomic repository change action so that others can't resynch, check out (or create devpaths or variant sandboxes) for inconsistent repository contents between the individual actions. Also, if a long check in fails or pauses partway through, for example due to a "do you want to branch that" dialog, missing file dialog or file I/O error, I'd like none of the preceding actions to go in. This is also to protect others from acting on inconsistent repository contents while I fix the issue.Obviously, defered actions come close, but are they truly atomic or can partial commits and checkin/checkout race conditions occur? This is aggravated by an occasionally slow VPN-checkins can take minutes at times due to large numbers of files and some large files.Many thanks,Barrie

I downloaded a trial for IBM RDP 8.5 and following the instructions to install the plug-in leads to an empty list. Has anyone else tried this?

Hey guys,Does anyone have the Integrity 10 Administrator's guide(s)? I cannot find them on PTC's website to save my life. I would love to have some good reference materials on version 10 but alas, nothing to be found.Thanks in advance,

How can I configure a sandbox scope like "path:AAA OR path:BBB OR name:frolic.txt"?The Help file for the 2009 MKS Integrity GUI says that the "si configuresandbox" command can be used to implement scopes using a combination of logical AND or OR operators, but the si manpage we have doesn't seem to mention --scope and the help text from "si configuresandbox -?" indicates some syntaxes like "name:value" and "path:<expression>" with no hints about how to apply logical operators.Pointers to documentation I missed are appreciated!Thanks,Barrie

computation with ibpl-fields (migrated thread) Posted: Jan 24, 2012 7:01 AM    extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68  Registered: Jan, 2010 Hi @all,in a form we have an ibpl-picklist, where the users can select (multivalued) a number of items. In a second field we count the selected items with "relcount(<fieldname of ibpl-picklist>)". This is not a problem, but now i need another computation: the items in above mentioned picklist is not filtered by states, but i need the number of thise items in a special state. How can i do this? Thanks and regards, Jens Re: computation with ibpl-fields Posted: Jan 25, 2012 4:52 PM Posted By:   Bradley.Johnston     Posts: 5 /  Registered: Feb, 2008   This syntax should work for this purpose:aggregate(<fieldname of IBPL-picklist>, Sum(State=="Desired State on Related Item"?1:0))            Re: computation with ibpl-field

WeekOfYear() only works with the actual year? (migrated thread) Posted: Jan 30, 2012 4:39 AM    extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68   Registered: Jan, 2010 Hi @all,i'm using the above mentioned function in a form. It should tell me the number of the week from a date, this date is set in a standard-date-field, so i use it in this way: weekofyear(name_of_the_date_field). But it works only if in the date field a date is set from this year. I have some data-sets with a date from last year, and in these sets the function doesnt work? Why?Thanks, Jens Re: WeekOfYear() only works with the actual year? Posted: Jan 30, 2012 7:29 AM Posted By:   extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68 /  Registered: Jan, 2010   Hmm, since i'm using display pattern it works also for preivious years. regards, Jens            Re: WeekOfYear() only works with the actual year?

How to compute "5 weeks before..." or such things (migrated thread) Posted: Jan 30, 2012 9:37 AM    extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68   Registered: Jan, 2010 Hi @all,looks like i'm flooding this forum in the last days... Here comes my latest question: In a form we have three date-fields. We want to fill one field by hand ("delivery date") and then we want to have the other two fields filled automatically with dates like five weeks before delivery date and so on. How can i do that without using trigger?thanks, Jens Re: How to compute "5 weeks before..." or such things Posted: Jan 31, 2012 5:24 AM Posted By:   cstoss     Posts: 46 /  From: United Kingdon /  Registered: Jun, 2005   Jens,If you truly want "5 weeks before", that can be translated as "5 7 day periods before", which would be the computation:"dateField - 35"Since date subtraction is done by days.From the Inetgrity Admin Guide.

Dont want to copy Fields when Items are copied (migrated thread) Posted: Feb 22, 2012 4:47 AM    extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68   Registered: Jan, 2010 Hi @all,in an Item-Type we have a long-text-field, which works as a kind of log. Every time a related child-item is changed, this log gets a new entry. When users now are copying one of the parent-items, the content of this field is also copied. But it shouldnt! How can i prevent this behaviour? The Item-Type hasnt any entry in its "Copy Fields"-Section.thanks, Jens Re: Dont want to copy Fields when Items are copied Posted: Feb 23, 2012 3:44 AM Posted By:   cstoss     Posts: 46 /  From: United Kingdon /  Registered: Jun, 2005   Jens,I think leaving the "Copy Fields" Section empty is the equivalent of the old behaviour where all fields were copied.I am not sure how to make it such that no fields are copied without de-selecting the "Copy Fields" wh

Field Relationship with an empty Source Field? (migrated thread) Posted: Feb 7, 2012 7:08 AM    extern.jens-uwe.nixdorf     Posts: 68   Registered: Jan, 2010 Hi @all,i have an item with two user fields ("A" and "B"). At a defined state ("Draft") the workflow in this item forks out and you can go to state "inAnalysis" or to state "approved". Now we want this functionality: If only the first user field has an entry, the item should only allow a transition to state "approved". If both user fields have an entry, the only possible transition should be to state "inAnalysis".I tried to do this with a field relationship, and wanted to do something like this: If the source field (the user field "B") is empty, the target field is state and has the only entry "approved". But this is not allowed, because the source field has to have any entry. We could have this functionality with an extra field (boolean or such thing), but we dont want to have an extra field An
