VCS::CMSynergy -- Perl interface to Telelogic CM Synergy Written by Roderich Schupp, . Copyright (c) 2001-2002 argumentum GmbH, . All rights reserved. You may distribute it under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file. This module is a Perl interface to CM Synergy (formerly known as Continuus CM), a change and configuration management system from Telelogic AB (http://www.telelogic.com). It is implemented on top of the CM Synergy CLI, hence you must have the command client ("ccm") installed to use it. VCS::CMSynergy.pm has been tested in the following environments: Client (where the Perl script runs) CM Synergy server OS, Perl version OS, CM Synergy version ----------------------------------- --------------------------- Solaris 2.6, Perl 5.6.1 Solaris 2.6, CM Synergy 5.1 Solaris 2.8, Perl 5.6.1 Solaris 2.8, CM Synergy 6.2 Linux 2.4, Perl 5.6.1 Linux 2.4, CM Synergy 6.2 WinNT 4.0, ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 Solaris 2.6, CM Synergy 5.1 WinNT 4.0, ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 Solaris 2.8, CM Synergy 6.2 BUILDING Unpack the distribution, change to its top level directory, and then perl Makefile.PL make TESTING Make sure that the CM Synergy command client is installed and working: - check your setting of the CCM_HOME environment variable - test the installation with $CCM_HOME/bin/ccm version You will need a pristine copy of the "tutorial" database to test the module. The pack file for the "tutorial" database is distributed with the CM Synergy product and is located in $CCM_HOME/packfiles/tutorial.cpk. Have your friendly CM Synergy administrator create a test database, say /ccmdb/test_module, by executing $CCM_HOME/bin/ccmdb_unpack $CCM_HOME/packfiles/tutorial.cpk /ccmdb/test_module and have her add you as a user to this database, currently the "developer" role is sufficient to run the tests. Set the environemnt variable CCM_TEST_DB to the name of the test database, e.g. (in Bourne shell syntax) CCM_TEST_DB=/ccmdb/test_module; export CCM_TEST_DB If you are testing on Windows, you must also set the environment variable CCM_TEST_USER to "user/password@host" which correspond to the "ccm" options "-n", "-pw", and "-h", resp. Run the tests with make test If everything looks OK, install the module with make install
