Team Coding Dashboard Output Tab (Import Export Tab)
This tab replaces the Team Coding Import / Export Dialog that was previously called from Code Collections ‘Create new revision’ and ‘Compile latest revision’. The caption on this tab will change based on the action that is currently in progress.
-
Replaced the Import/Export selection tree with a standard Toad grid. This adds the ability to sort, group and export data before processing. -
Combined the selection grid and the Export Results tab on the same tab. Results can now be viewed in the same window as the selected objects. -
Added the ability to add additional object to 'Export/Import' before processing. To do this, simply tab back to Code Collections, Controlled Objects or VCS Browser and select more objects -
Add 'Compare Contents' tab to the output. This enables the user to scroll the objects for processing a compare contents between the DB version and the VCS version of the object.
Team Coding Configuration:
The Team Coding Configuration Window and Team Coding Status Window are combined into a single window with 2 tabs. The first Tab has Team Coding configuration and install information. The second Tab has Team Coding Status information.
Team Coding Configuration Tab
There are no changes to Team Coding Configuration or installation in this update.
Team Coding Status Viewer Tab
The status viewer window has been added to the configuration form as a tab. The Status viewer includes the Team Coding Status Handlers framework. Team Coding status handlers attempt to provide more detailed information about Team Coding Configuration and VCS configuration issues, and guide the user to possible solutions to correct. While the framework is fully in place, this is a work in progress. Some of the icons have been modified for this release, and may be tweaked again. New status checks and status handlers will be added over the coming weeks. Expect the details and the number of status checks in this window to evolve.
For this update:
-
Removed the panel with green/red status checks. -
Standard Team Coding checks from the old status panel are now shown in the Status Checks Tree. -
The status tree contains 3 sections, Team Coding Status Checks for Team Coding related status items. VCP Status Checks for VCP specific status items, Team Coding session messages, which are unchanged. -
Items that are correct and do not require attention show a green check mark. -
Items that have generated an error or warning will display an appropriate icon. These items will have additional information. Clicking on the item displays detailed information on the problem. -
Expanding the item in the tree will display any error messages generated by Toad and a list on one or more possible solutions. If available, double clicking on the solution opens the window for the solution. e.g. Configuration window, VCS Configuration, Code Collections etc.
