Question
Transition from X5 to v7 source controlled project
We have a project running from RH X5 with it's native Source
Control server powering it.
We have now installed some RH7 clients and the next stage is to migrate to the new version of Source Control.. But when i looked at setting this up I discovered that RH7 doesn't seem to have actual Source Control functionality any more, it says we need to install an SQL server to power it..
I was not aware of this, and it is now causing me problems, after going through the long and tortuous process of getting approval for the RH upgrade, I now have to present another case to get SQL server installed.
For info, I work for a major financial institute and we have tight control on software. I know SQL server Express is free, the cost is not the issue.. If I cannot get approval for this, what are the options?
Meanwhile I have found a lovely workaround, installing the Source Control element from RH5 and this allows the RH7 client to connect to the project which is running on the old Source Control! So at least we can connect to the project, but we've had to install part of X5 on top of v7 which i don't see as a logical solution.
I'm hoping there is a better way (or i can get approval for SQL server), as I need to roll this out to various other departments who want to migrate from X5 to v7...
