QDF + TFS

[#1]

Can someone please tell me how this framework works together with Team Foundation Server?

Today we are checking in QVW files in TFS but how should we do it, if we start using the framework? Is it possible to check in a container?

Is there any documentation regarding QDF + TFS?

Thanks

Fredrik

Hi Fredrik, when using version control I recommend using the external editor Sublime with syntax highlighting add-on InQlikTools http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-6033#comment-19191. and TFS add-on. With QDF it's easy to code, reuse and maintain Qlik scripts (qvs) outside of QlikView.

Hope that this helps.

Ok, thank you for your input. I have to check "Sublime" in more detail, but my question is really if I should check in the QDF container folder in TFS or only the application (.qvw)?

Thanks

Hi Fredrik, you should check in code and objects not the qvw. Check-in external code using include scripts in combination with QDF and sublime works great. To version handle objects in the qvw files use the built in TFS support or the -prj folders (there is a command line script in QDF that creates the -prj folder). Cheers

Hi Fredrik, I've written a document on how to create a IDE environment including version control support. the document describes Subversion but TFS will work just the same.

Hope that this helps.
