Hello D,

CM is a very sweeping buzz word. Can you give some more details on what you want to accomplish? Everything from homegrown indexed files to expensive third party solutions is possible. Also do you have already CM for other systems that you might to integrate etc.

I guess when I write configuration management, I am writing about change management. This would be for a team of 5 or so developers in a couple different locations that need check-in, check-out, and differencing capabilities.

D Fin,
I have worked myself as a VMS developer for quite some time and one product i could recommend is called as CMS (its Code Management System).

Normally its referred to as CMS in the VMS world and its a pretty neat product. Like many apps, i must warn you that its command line :-)

If you would need additional details let me know.

You may want to look into CMS (Code Management System), which is a part of the DECset suite (though you can also buy it separately). Go to:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/swcat/us/decsetalpha.html

and click on one of the "SPD" links.

There are also clients available for cvs and (I think) Perforce.

Er, Mobeen, it's only command line if you want it to be. You can access it via NetBeans:

and I belive there is also a native DECWindows interface.

Re: Configuration Management for Open VMS

there is also a MS Windows front end for CMS (if you like that sort of thing :-)

Hi D Fin,

You can Go for RCM (Revision Configuration Management) , For more details check the below links,

www.support.compaq.com/svctools/ rcm/download/cci_vms.pdf

Its an Layered Product by DEC and has to be installed on a single node of an cluster.It
can collect various information regarding system,its devices,tapes,sysgen parameters, installed softwares etc.
It wakes up according to the user selected schedule and
uses SYSMAN to start a data collector process on each node selected and
available. It waits for all the data collectors to finish and then zips
the results together and sends them to desired destination .

Regards,
Himanshu
