Antw: [Anthill] anthill with MKS?

[Joe Leonard]

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot for your help!

I copied your .pgl files to the correct location, and now at least it does
seem to communicate with MKS.
However, I'm not quite sure if its doing anything useful.

When I attempt to execute a test-build, The anthill console appears to
attempt to checkout/resync all files in the sandbox. However, it seems to
ignore the Work Directory I specify. The work directory remains empty. What
should be copied to this work directory?
Is Anthill supposed to resync/check out all files each time you start a
build?



I set repository.integrity.work.dir to
"D:\Development\transtoolworking\workingDir\"
I set repository.integrity.project.file to
"D:\Development\transtoolworking\TransferToBS2k.pj"
I leave repository.integrity.branch empty.


This is the output I get on the console: - it tells me the checkout
operation fails??

Hi, we use MKS 8.4 and Anthill under Windows. I had to change 
the pgl's to use MKS. Looks like the pagelets are for an older 
version? The given files should be copied into 
...\anthill-1.7.0\conf\profiles\Win32\win_integrity

For Linux you will have to change the pgls accordingly.
With the changed pgl's using Anthill is possible BUT the
revision log parsing will fail. I have changed Anthill code
(from the source package) as well. We can look to that
when you have everything runnung.

Greetings,
Peter

Hi all,

I am investigating the use of Anthill as an option for continuous
Integration of a large Java/J2EE-based project. We use MKS Source
Integrity
(version 8.4) for source control.
I am just wondering has anybody had any success integrating Anthill
with
MKS? I have attempted it here myself without much success so far. The
"pgl"
files in the win_integrity directory seem to contain invalid MKS
commands,
e.g. "pj", rather than "si" ??

Also, is it the case that Anthill cleans up the work-directory and
performs
a full checkout of all files before a build? Why is it necessary to
check
out all files? Isn't this a hugely time comsuming process for a large
project?

Thanks,
Joe.
