Using the program when it is under modification

Former Member — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:31:04 GMT

Hi Experts ,

I have a big program with around 17 screens , 20 includes and some function modules in my development system.Some of the users are using this program in development server for their testing purpose daily to test new test cases.Now , we have a requirement of modifying this program but at the same time users wanted to use the old program till modification is complete.

Do we have any option to achieve this requirement other than copying the old program to a new program ?

Thanks in advance ,

Joby

Hi,

The best solution is to copy the program to another Z program.

Hi,

Just activate the changes once when all your modifications are done like at the end of the day or whatever time the testing is not going on. Until then just save the code.

Regards,

Anil.

If the number of users is not too high, may be you can do a check on the user id to skip the new part of the code if the user id correspond to one of the users (you can store the users in a specific table).
