Collaborator

Is it possible to have two, or more, files open for review at the same time.

Steve Laxton — 5/24/2013 11:16:17 AM

If my memory serves me right, a previous version of Collaborator had the ability to have multiple files open in a review. The files were accessible via tabs. This was quite handy, as it allowed for quick transitioning between multiple files containing related changes. Does Collaborator v7.3.7303 have this capability. Thanks.

Can I export a review?

Is it possible to export a review, including comments, to another format (e.g. word doc or pdf)?

Collaborator 8 + Git. Adding commits?

todd prickett — 5/23/2013 2:48:17 PM

I'm using Collaborator 8 GUI + Git. When creating a review I want to add my commits to be reviewed. It takes me to a screen where I have to enter each commit ID to include in the review. I've done 100's of commits during the development cycle. Is there a more automated way than entering each and every one manually? I'd think it could list all the commits and allow choosing which (or all) to include in the review.

Is adding each one individually the only way to do this?

Hello, this is Greg from Collaborator support.

We do not have any examples for review status, and our example is written in Java, but here it is in case it is at all helpful:

VBScript For Loop

Peter Maas — 5/20/2013 3:08:04 PM

I’m writing this vbscript in a in testcomplete.

I’m having trouble with a loop… I don’t know if I need an If…else..

The script has a ADO connection that looks at a table in the database, I need it to populate fields in a program from that database table.

My for loop fills the first Row/entry correctly. But it seems that it just loops back to the first Row/Entry, it doesn’t move on to the second Row/entry in the table. I’m wondering what I need to add to the first for loop?

[CODE]

'Sales Rep Maintenance

'Adding New Rep

'USEUNIT Seek

Dim txtServer, testCtrlDBase

txtServer = ProjectSuite.Variables.ServerName

testCtrlDBase = ProjectSuite.Variables.TestControlDB

Sub Test1

Dim FirstName,LastName,Organization,CommissionType,CommissionRate,FixedFee,SafariUser

Dim control

Dim control2 ‘These aren’t being called / used

Dim control3 ‘These aren’t being called / used

Dim MyServer

Dim MyDataBase

Dim TypeID

Dim h,i

TypeID = 1

MyServer = "ENSQL2005"

MyDataBase = "SAF416Pete"

Call Aliases.Explorer.wndShell_TrayWnd.ReBarWindow32.MSTaskSwWClass.ToolbarWindow32.CheckItem("EnSite Safari Suite®", True, False)

Set control = Aliases.Sys.Safari.FormHost.MDIClient.FLC_SalesRepMX.FLP_SalesRepMX.LCC_SalesRepMX.Embedded.vseContainer

Set AConnection = ADO.CreateConnection

AConnection.ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=" + MyServer + ";Database=" + MyDataBase + ";Uid=SafariUser;Pwd=safari"

AConnection.Open

Set Cmd = ADO.CreateCommand

Cmd.ActiveConnection = AConnection

Cmd.CommandText = "Exec qa_SelectSalesRepData " & TypeID ‘stored procedure qa_SelectSalesRepData

Cmd.CommandType = adCmdText

Set RecSet = Cmd.Execute

RecSet.MoveFirst

For h = 0 to RecSet.Fields.Count -1 ‘Loop in question Trying to retrieve another name from the database Table

control.keys("~N")

For i = 0 to RecSet.Fields.count -1

Select Case RecSet.Fields(i).name

Case "FirstName"

control.txtFirst.SetText(RecSet.Fields(i).value)

Case "LastName"

control.txtLast.setText(RecSet.Fields(i).value)

Known issue: "Error launching external diff program" after upgrading to Java 1.7.0_21

Barb Swetman — 5/17/2013 9:31:39 AM

If you've previously been launching an external diff viewer from Collaborator just fine but suddenly begin to see this error:

"Error launching external diff program"

"Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified."

most likely you've recently upgraded to Java 1.7.0_21 causing our diff viewer launcher to fail. Oracle changed the way they handle paths containing spaces so if the path to your diff viewer contains spaces, it can no longer find the executable.

We will need to change our implementation to accommodate this change so we have submitted this issue to product development to address in a future maintenance release (ref. case 72222).

Please subscribe to this SmartBear forum thread to receive future release announcements:

http://smartbear.com/forums/f71/t48442/tp2/CodeCollaborator-Release-Notifications

In the meantime, you have two possible work arounds. Either downgrade your Java or move your diff viewer executable to a directory path that does not contain spaces.

EmailNotifier - Exception occurred sending notification

Barb Swetman — 5/15/2013 12:38:26 PM

If you see the following error in your log file:
WARN Notification-Processor com.smartbear.notification.EmailNotifier - Exception occurred sending notification. Retrying in 300000 milliseconds.
javax.mail.MessagingException: Exception reading response;
nested exception is:
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Try increasing the smtp read timeout on the Collaborator server by adding the following lines to ccollab-server.vmoptions in the Collaborator server installation directory:

-Dsmartbear.mail.smtp.connectiontimeout=50000
-Dsmartbear.mail.smtp.timeout=50000

This is ten times the default value for these timeouts. These settings will take effect after you cycle the Collaborator service.

CodeCollaborator v7.3.7303 64 bit server memory leak and corruption

John Jurisoo — 5/13/2013 2:31:05 PM

In an environment with only a few reviews per day, our CodeCollaborator server process starts out taking about 80 MB for RAM, and as users access it shortly goes up to about 110 MB. This seems pretty normal.

Over a week or two, the process continues to grow. When it gets over half a gigabyte or so, the server starts rejecting some random reviews. I've seen it up to 800 MB. Bouncing the CC server process clears the issue up.

The log doesn't appear to have anything out of the ordinary in it.

Platform info:
Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit
SQL Server 2008 R2
LDAP authentication
Java was initially the recommended version now 1.6u38

Uploading a Word document based on a template with custom fields defaults back to original values

Francois Roux — 5/13/2013 8:58:22 AM

a mouthfull, sorry.
Well, as part of our code review process we review Word documents which we create from templates. These include specific fields like the Title, defect no, and other details linked to the data fields.

Problem is that, when uploading the document for review, these fields are all reset to the original template values.

So for instance, in place of displaying the "defect 12345", it displays "defect XXXXX", which is the value specified on the field.

It doesn't seem to be updating the document with the saved field values at all.

Is this because the upload utility has no permission to run macros or something similar?
Or is this just something that isn't done when uploading a document for review?

Is there a way of fixing this or getting around it?

thanks

Known Issue with Collaborator v.8 Upgrade and Oracle:

Barb Swetman — 5/10/2013 4:39:39 PM

Known Issue with Collaborator v.8 Upgrade and Oracle:

If you plan to upgrade to Collaborator v.8, and your existing server is configured with an Oracle database, there is a known issue to address related to duplicate metadata of external defect names.

You will need to follow these steps BEFORE YOU UPGRADE to ensure a successful upgrade of your Oracle database instance.

1. During an off-peak time, have your DBA perform a backup of your Collaborator instance using your native Oracle database backup utility.

(The migration dump file backup approach won’t work because of this known issue so best to use the native Oracle backup method.)

2. When your backup is complete, login to the Collaborator server as admin.

3. Go to <YourServerURL>/diagnostics?diagnostic=fixDuplicateMetadataValues.

4. When the diagnostic is done, save your screen by doing this: Right-Click > SaveAs > {MyHTMLFile1}.htm (of type Webpage, HTML Only)

5. If Result shows Success for all values tested, you can proceed to upgrade your server as described here:

http://codecollaborator.smartbear.com/docs/manual/8.0/index.html?upgrading_to_8_0.html

6. If Result shows Failure for some/all values tested, re-run the "Fix Duplicate Metadata Values" Diagnostic.

7. When the diagnostic is done, save your screen by doing this: right-Click > SaveAs > {MyHTMLFile2}.htm (of type Webpage, HTML Only)

8. If Result shows Failure for some/all values tested, send the latest html file to support@smartbear.com.

9. SmartBear Support will contact you regarding your case and work directly with you and your DBA to manually reconcile the duplicate metadata

before you proceed with your upgrade.

Code Collaborator SOAP Api to check for a review status

Kuldeep Chowhan — 5/10/2013 1:42:52 PM

Are there any examples for the SOAP Api to check for a review status? Any examples using C# code would be really useful.
