Configuration Management Solution Package

Create a Foundation of Success. The VISTA Configuration Management Solution Package integrates Visual SourceSafe™ or ClearCase™ with LabVIEW™ for TestStand and LabVIEW based development projects. A wide spectrum of development environments and practices are supported including FDA and DoD guidelines. V I Engineering knows firsthand, from configuring over 1000 software projects, that the integrity of a project depends on configuration management. To simplify the process and ensure success, VISTA Configuration Management Solution was developed. The result? Common configuration problems are avoided with complete control over versions, deployments, and modifications.

Five Familiar Configuration Challenges One Powerful Configuration Solution: VISTA

Inability to Save/Restore Baselines Easily
Different departments, engineers, and projects can mean the loss of the original source of a program.

Insufficient Status Information
With numerous versions of a file in a network directory, what is the status of each file? Which one is running? How do they relate to the baseline file?

Maintaining Overall Build Integrity
File or path changes can make it unclear which file is actually being called to run in a program.

Inability to Compare Files
LabVIEW does not allow two files with the same name to be loaded into memory - as a result, two versions of the same file cannot be compared.

Losing Changes
Without Source Code Control, engineers may not be updating the latest version of a file…and changes will be lost.


Save/Restore Baselines Easily
VISTA Tools allow baselines to be quickly and easily saved, providing the peace of mind of knowing that programs are safe and accessible.

Gain Powerful Status Information
VISTA allows user configuration labels, integrated with the baseline, so status is always known. Tell from one glance whether a file is alpha or beta and if it is running or not.

Protect Build Integrity
VISTA creates an integrity tool at runtime, performing both a checksum and datestamp comparison. VISTA also verifies the file path that is running versus what should be running and flags any problems.

Compare Files
VISTA is integrated with SCC repository and works behind the scenes with LabVIEW requirements so that two different versions of a file can be easily compared…even if they have the same file name.

Guarantee Changes are Made to the Right File
VISTA's SCC central repository requires check out of file so that users will not be making changes simultaneously - and also guaranteeing that the latest version is updated.
