Subject: Configuration Management the build system's job? - by: jptownsend

Mark,

I guess will have to agree to disagree. But keep this in mind, I say as a CM person I typically don't do that many CM activities, it is either done by developers or testers. Now they may or may not know they are doing CM things but they are. So if you look at CM activities I would go so far as to say that Developers do about 50% of all CM activities and testers about 40% and CM folks about 10% at least that's been my experience.

Regards,

Joe

Subject: "Unable to access, filename may be illegal" - by: jptownsend

We have one person (only one) getting this error when they tried to add a new workfile in PVCS. (v. 8.0.0.3 Build 550). No one else has this problem at all. I've had him reinstall PVCS, delete the "Merant" directory altogether, reboot, use full path to the repository instead of a mapped drive, and lots of other things, nothing works. No one else gets this error. Here's the full error message:

"Unable to access, filename may be illegal, the filename may already exist as a directory, part of the directory path may already exists as a file the TEMP directory may not exist, or there may be insufficient privileges." His priviliges are the same as everyone else and the TEMP file is there.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
