Is this fixed as well?John F Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767376197016535813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555621224879253004.post-70056185837986134902008-12-17T12:33:00.000-05:002008-12-17T12:33:00.000-05:00Hi John,Sorry, one thing I forgot to mention in my...Hi John,<BR/><BR/>Sorry, one thing I forgot to mention in my post is that in general, Composer version is not tied to Content Server version.<BR/><BR/>So in your case, you can use Composer 6.5 SP1 to deploy against a D6 SP1 Content Server. It's a tested scenario.<BR/><BR/>If you're open to it, zip up your Composer Project, send it to me, and I can install it to one of our repositories here to see if I can reproduce your problem.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that when you send me a Composer Project, you'll have to send me pre-requisite scripts to set up any users, groups, or ACLs that you expect to be present, since I'll be installing to a clean repository.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Dave Louiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154498694244626458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555621224879253004.post-19829379702181762072008-12-17T10:43:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:43:00.000-05:00Dave,Thanks for the update on 6.5sp1, but this is ...Dave,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the update on 6.5sp1, but this is for D6 sp1 patch, which does not have these fixes. This brings up an ongoing issue with the point releases of EMC products and that is most companies can't move as fast as the releases. Upgrading takes time and money that companies need to justify each time. So if the company is at D6 sp1 for a while during the 6.5 release, it is left with patches and fixes to a point release that is never going to catch up in terms of fixes to the lastest point release...John F Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767376197016535813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555621224879253004.post-50299561783903363212008-12-16T18:30:00.000-05:002008-12-16T18:30:00.000-05:00Hi John,I'm the Product Manager for Composer. Tha...Hi John,<BR/><BR/>I'm the Product Manager for Composer. Thanks for trying Composer.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to address the 2 road blocks that you faced.<BR/><BR/>I took a look at the first road block you identified. In Composer 6.5 SP1, I created a type, created an attribute, and created a conditional value assistance fixed list of possible values. I clicked the flag 'List is complete'.<BR/><BR/>I then opened up the XML and see that the XML model has the attribute "complete_list="true"".<BR/><BR/>Does this mean your first roadblock has been addressed in Composer D6.5 SP1?<BR/><BR/>For the second road block, in Composer, you can set the install options at the project level.<BR/><BR/>Right click on the Composer Project, select Properties. Go to the Documentum Project properties, and you'll see the Upgrade option drop-down list. One of the values there is "Ignore Matching Objects".<BR/><BR/>Would that work for you?<BR/><BR/>We can take this discussion to email. You can contact me directly at louie_david@emc.com.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Dave Louiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154498694244626458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555621224879253004.post-44721945151784061282008-12-16T13:18:00.000-05:002008-12-16T13:18:00.000-05:00I can relate, if there is one thing I find lacking...I can relate, if there is one thing I find lacking in Composer it is the ability to independently modify components.<BR/><BR/>I may just want to change a lifecycle, and for that I have to run the entire installation and <B>be sure</B>to have the install option set properly. It gets to be a pain. <BR/><BR/>I've taken to using overwrite a lot, even though I know it will eventually bite me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
