RTC command line interface / integration with Siebel

Hi all,

We're considering integrating RTC with Siebel; Siebel works with SCM's via a command line/DOS batch file - managing object locking and checkin/out itself, just providing a hook via the batch file into a source control tool during checkin.

As such, in order for an SCM to work with Siebel the application needs to have a command line interface which Siebel can call when checking items in, these items are just text files, which then get stored in the source control app. RTC looks like a great tool, but I can't find any reference to a command line tool (except to IBM i which I think is a mainframe app?). Does anyone know if there's an option of running RTC from the command line in a Windows environment?

Thanks,
Matt

Hello

I am evaluating integrating RTC with Siebel and looking for ideas on what will be the best way to integrate Siebel Checkin/out using SCM CLI.

I like to keep the things simple for development team to minimize the impact and hoping to achieve the automation that provide direct check-out (lock/download ) and check-in/deliver to stream in a similar fashion that happens from webclient (i.e. no need to worry about Repository Workspace).

Wondering if you can help.

Thank you
Asheesh

The SCM command line is located at:

Matt, did you have any success with this integration?

I am also interested to know if RTC is successfully integrated with Siebel, for SCM.

Please let us know if it was a success. If yes, it would be great if you can put some tips over here.

Thanks,
Ahsan

Hi,

Where do I insert that path variable ? In a config file which RTC picks up when starting up ?

Thanks in advance

I have created a full-function batch file integrating Siebel with RTC; it provides for file or directory checkins, adding comments, associating workitems, etc. It allows certain constants to be set while prompting for other values as necessary - dependent on the flags you set within the batch file itself. It also works around the lack of a checkout concept within RTC, the automatic deletion of the sif files by Siebel, and allows you to maintain a history.

To do all that, it relies on some advanced batch file techniques which were a joy to troubleshoot along with discovering the various "gotchas" both Siebel and RTC surprised me with. (Hint of sarcasm)

I hope to demonstrate it as part of Innovate 2011 and elaborate how it is easily used (at great benefit) even when Siebel is not involved - as a standalone utility.

Hello Robert,

I am currently attempting to integrate SiebelTools with RTC.
It sounds like you have already done what we are trying to achieve.
Are you able to share your batch file on this forum?

Kind regards,

Alex

Hi Robert,
It would be very kind if you could share the batch file you made for integrating Siebel with RTC.

Hi Robert,

Even a 2-3 year old idea is still useful. Can you share the Siebel script please?

I am trying to write a batch file to integrate the Siebel with RTC using SCM CLI. Here is how I think it should work:

For action checkout:

1. scm accept

2. scm load

3. scm lock acquire

For action checkin:

1. scm checkin (need to get the changeset uuid from the command output. Step 2 and 3 need this uuid.)

2. scm comment

3. scm changeset associate

4. scm deliver

5. scm lock release

I hope this will work for the Siebel development.

I have done this integration successfully with an insurance company, contact me if you need help.

Siebel provides batch file by name srcctrl.bat file.in this file, add SCM command line to check in the files into RTC repo.

This has to be done on all user machines working with Siebel.
