CVS and DataStage 8.5

Post by Azzuri »

Hi All, my client is installing DataStage version 8.5 and is looling at CVS as a source control tool. Has anyone had any experience using CVS with 8.5? If so how easy was it to implement?

I believe with 8.5, DataStage has a direct plugin to CVS

Version 8.5 does support CVS as a version control mechanism. Here's the link to the on-line documentation for it:

I understand that the only drawback is that checking a job "out" doesn't lock it so that you are the only person that can make changes to it (like most sccs systems).

I'll be able to confirm it in a couple weeks when we implement it at my current site.
