Q: Project management

[Tee Y Teoh]

Hello,
    Is it possible to do the following:

1) Use the same generated project and share it between several designers
?

2) Do incremental updates to the database ?

Our source tree is large...over 8,000 files and it takes around 8 hours
to generate the database from scratch. Hence the above two questions
will aid us greatly. We are using SN 4.5.1.

Note: I looked into the User Guide and did not come across any such
discussions. Did I miss something ?

Thanks

Tee Teoh

Not simultaneously. Different people should be able to open the same file.

Source-Navigator does support incremental updates. You should just open the
project again after your source has changed, and it will refresh. You can force
this by selecting the "Refresh Project" command from the menus.

The databases will tend to grow over time if you do this, though.
There's an example somewhere of using dbcp (or hyper) to copy the
databases in a project (which will produce smaller databases).

Generally the size of these databases doesn't matter, but if they're
big, using dbcp to copy them can help significantly.  Indeed, on a
freshly created project I found doing this halved the size of the
database.

Source-Navigator's has a "single user" database model. This is
part of the existing design and not something that can be
changed easily.

Once the project is parsed, it will update individual files
when the mod time of the file changes.

Basically, each developer needs to have a copy of
the project on the local machine.

I hope that helps.

Are we not able to merge data base from subdirectories.
Does the add projects provide that.
