Is it possible to use QDF in a Dev-Test-Prod environment ?

Is it possible to define under QDF a Dev-Test-Prod environment ?

I am thinking of something like:

- the developer works in a local copy of the project

- once he consider his work done, promotes the container to the TEST area

- once testers approves the container, it moves to PROD

In particular, is QDF allowing a developer to move a project from the server to his local copy of QDF, work on it and move it back afterwards ? (Not just opening over the network a container that resides on the server)

IMHO, some times the additional complexity is making sense:

- big QVDs read and written over the network might create big delays in running the script, compared with local reloads

- this can affect production server performance, at least at the network interface level

- separation between development and production is a wise approach, in general, and the approach of opening containers over the network in local development machine is not a complete separation. (I agree it is a reasonably good one in quite a few cases)

Hi Cotiso, the answer is a big YES. This is the hole idea with QDF, to be able to move applications independent of environments. As long as you use the global variables instead of hard codes path, you can move the app around freely. Hope that this helps.

Best regards
