Gurus- We have a process to push only the modified files to integration and production environment. We will have to use 'Tag' mechanism. The process is to push the files along with the folders integration environment and another UI deployment process execute shell scripts to copy the files to respective folders and then run Make utility or ANT.
For e.g. /root/dev/scripts/ folder have files f1 and f2 in the branch, this branch can be used by multiple developers at the same time. If suppose only file f1 is modified , I should be doing the following steps.
1) Identify the files modified.
2) Create a tag out of the files selectively. In this example tag should contain /root/dev/scripts/f1.
Precisely my question is, how we can selectively find files and add to tag retaining the folder structure?

I'm trying to programmatically get a list of commits between two shas that have touched a certain directory.
Github's API supports comparison between two SHAS:
https://api.github.com/repos/github/linguist/compare/96d29b7662f148842486d46117786ccb7fcc8018...a20631af040b4901b7341839d9e76e31994adda3
Used to drive the UI comparison: https://github.com/github/linguist/compare/96d29b7662f148842486d46117786ccb7fcc8018...a20631af040b4901b7341839d9e76e31994adda3
Is there a way to add a path parameter to either of these? I would like just the comparison in the /lib directory, for example.
Well i have a build setup of 2 projects, one project takes .xml files from a directory and processes them into header files. These files are then used by the second project. Is there any way to check if his project needs to be re-run (the .xml files were modified or a new one was added)?
Just combine the two projects into one common source tree, and one single SConstruct (with as many SConscripts as you like in the subfolders, that get included by SConscript(file) ).
Then ensure that the header files in the include/ folder are always tried to be built, e.g. by adding them as default targets with env.Default().
SCons will only call each conversion .xml->.h when the corresponding source XML file has changed its content.
I have following perforce streams structure: main branch and 2 development branches linked to it dev_v1 and dev_v2. Both development streams has some build control files where version specific variables are located. Any change in these files will be reflected in Perforce Streams Graph and the system will ask me to merge them into main and then from main into other development branch.
How to exclude specific set of files in Perforce so that in case of any change the system will no show any difference between streams and will not ask to merge/copy them.
If those build files should never be integrated you should set that path in the stream view to be 'isolate' instead of public. That will add the files to client views for that stream, but will exclude them from any generate branch maps. That will cause them to fall out of the integration calculation and Perforce will stop trying to integrate them.
Isolate was specifically put in streams to handle build files that are unique to each stream, so this is the perfect use.
When you merge you can select which change lists you want to include in the merge, and which you want to exclude. If you are using P4V when you get into the merge window you can choose which changelists to merge into the other code line. Most of our items are set up as streams...if you are a using a standard depot the functionality to should be similar...if you have troubles let me know I can set up another depot on my dev server.
I would like to know how I can load some files in a specific order. For instance, I would like to load my files according to their timestamp, in order to make sure that subsequent data updates are replayed in the proper order.
Lets say I have 2 types of files : deal info files and risk files.
I would like to load T1_Info.csv, then T1_Risk.csv, T2_Info.csv, T2_Risk.csv...
I have tried to implement a comparator, as it is said on Confluence, but it seems that the loadInstructions file has the priority. It will order the Info files and the risk files independently. (loading T1_Info.csv, T2_Info.csv and then T1_Risk.csv, T2_Risk.csv..)
Do I have to implement a custom file loader, or is it possible using an AP configuration ?
The loading of the files based on load instructions is done in
com.quartetfs.tech.store.csv.impl.CSVDataModelFactory.load(List<FileLoadDescriptor>). The FileLoadDescriptor list you receive is created directly from the load instructions files.
What you can do is create a simple instructions files with 2 entries, one for deal info and one for risk. So your custom implementation of CSVDataModelFactory will be called with a list of two items. In your custom implementation you scan the directory where the files are, sort them in the order you want them to be parsed and call the super.load() with the list of FileLoadDescriptor you created from the directory scanning.
If you want to also load files that are place in the future in this folder you have to add to your load instructions a line that will match all files and that will make the super.load() implementation to create a directory watcher for that (you should then maybe override createDirectoryWatcher() to not watch the files already present in the folder when load is called).
Is there a possibility to add directory (with sub directories) to SupportFiles section in installshield. I have dynamically created content (list of files changes constantly) that I use to support my installation.
Is there any other method to add dynamically whole directory to installation package. I need files from this directory only during installation process. At the end of the installation I want IS to remove these files automatically ?
The ISSetupFile table ( which drives the Support Files pattern ) only supports extracting files to a single directory. There is no way in the UI to tell it to be dynamic although you could have a build automation step that reflects the contents of a directory and wires it up to the table using the automation interface. This still couldn't do sub directories though.
What you probably want to do is creating a self-extracting zip of the files you need as part of your build and add that EXE to Support Files. Then write custom actions that call the EXE to extract the payload to Support Files and another CA to clean it up. Look for the custom action ISSetupFilesExtract and ISSetupFilesCleanup to figure out the best way to do this.
Although I'm late to the party: #BuvinJ mentioned in a comment that you can add directories to "Advanced Files" under "Disk1." In this case, they do appear in the temporary directory (support directory), eg. SUPPORTDIR\Disk1
SUPPORTDIR is a temporary location where the installer dumps files, and cleans them up afterward. An example is C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\{F6B9B2D6-2A5A-4146-9297-E80A199CB0CB}.
This could be a quicker/cheaper/faster solution to writing custom actions and/or packaging up files by hand in, say, a self-extracting zip file.
