Single Person Development Projects

All the ZOM services and features and development approaches mentioned above also apply to single-person development projects as well. In fact, these can be applied to your advantage anytime development is spread across multiple development environments regardless of the number of people involved. For example, there are often several versions of an application representing various…

The Peer-to-Peer Development Approach

Another common approach to team development projects is to maintain separate development environments for each developer and synchronize the development environments from time-to-time by merging changes from one environment directly into another. This approach is referred to as peer-to-peer development. Peer-to-peer development is similar to master-slave development except there is no master environment. Each development…

Verifying Imported Objects before Merging

To gain more control when importing objects, you can import objects first into a “staging area” to verify the incoming objects before bringing them into the application proper. ZOM provides a staging area called the “Shadow Object Dictionary” which is a mirror image of the Zim Object Dictionary. Once in the Shadow Object Dictionary, you…

Using Locks for Change Control

Combining ZOMImport and ZOMExport with keywording and object locking can give you a great deal of control over the management of the application as a whole. Let’s assume that the master is to receive Steve’s work, but needs to protect the application from any changes that Steve has made outside his defined task of user…

Master-Slave Development Approach

A typical configuration for projects involving multiple developers is separate development environments for each developer and a master environment that contains the combined results of the project team. This development approach is referred to as master-slave development. Each developer’s environment is called a “slave” to the “master” environment. From time to time, a developer merges…

Merging Changes

Merging changes from one development environment into another is done by exporting the changes from the first (i.e., source) environment using ZOMExport and then importing these changed objects into the second (i.e., target) environment using ZOMImport. The import process compares the incoming objects from the source environment with the objects in the target environment. New…

Configuring ZOM for Team Development

When working on a team development project, you should first adjust the configuration of ZOM for each development environment so that objects from the various environments can be easily identified. The three configuration options of importance here are the environment code, the new keyword, and the changed keyword. You configure ZOM using the ZOMConfig command.…

Team Development Projects and ZOM

ZOM provides services and features to support multi-person development teams. These capabilities can be used to identify and track changes, control changes, exchange changes between environments, and merge developments from one environment into another. ZOM supports various development methodologies. Some of these are described in the following topics; however, ZOM can be applied in many…
