#SourceServer comands…

Continuing the Source Control Blues conversation…
My apologies about the command line interface. When I asked Tech
Support about the merge branch procedures, I was given a foggy response eluded
to the fact that you may be able to do something like that If you had
ToolServer. I misinterpreted the conversation and at one point hit
Option-Enter rather than Control-Enter which causes a "ToolServer not found"
error.
I would like to know if there is an expanded guide to the server
commands. It would be helpful to have a more detailed syntactic guide. For
example I am not sure how to specify the project in the "MountProject" command.
This may not be as much of a problem to experienced MPW users, however I have
always used Think C and am unfamiliar with the MPW syntax.
To expand on the problem of Apple events timing out when sent to source
server. I am also encountering the "Apple event timed out.." dialog after 1
minute when sending source server commands via the Control-Enter.
I would also like to know if anyone at Symantec has any suggestions
about how I might get our Monstrous project organized and checked in. Our
project is made up of about 350 .C files and about the same number of .H files.
It is a front end product for our airline reservation system that gives the
user a simpler GUI interface. These files are arranged in sub-folders under
our main project folder based on their functionality. For example all of the
files for handling airline transactions are in the Air sub-folder. At this
point we haven't solidified any one portion of the code enough to break it off
into a library. Our primary goal is to reduce the pains associated with 6
developers working on one project. Again our main problem is that our project
is so big that we continually get timeout messages, even when SourceServer and
the ProjectorDB are on a local drive.
I'm not from Symnantec but you might want to check out ObjectMaster 2.0 from
Acius for managing large projects. I just finished a MacApp project with a
bazillion files that I don't think I could have done without ObjectMaster. The
new 2.0 version supposedly has integration with the new Symantec compilers and
better sourceserver support. It also has ToolServer support as well.
