I recently started working for a family-owned company, whose CNC administrators do things differently than what I'm accustomed to. We only have 1 instance of JDE, but we developers are forced to use Snapshot to swap between DV and PY full clients. I never had to do this at any other company I've worked for.
As an experiment, I extracted my DV920 folders from the saved Snapshot folder and put them under the same E920 folder that has my PY920. Then, I updated my ini's to use DV920, PY920. It almost works perfectly. I can simply log in to either environment and do all my development tasks in both without using Snapshot. Even webdev works in both. However, I have problems with accepting deployed packages. I think it has something to do with how CNC setup Local databases.
My CNC guys don't understand why I'm complaining about Snapshot. They think all companies use Snapshot to swap between environments. Is anyone familiar with this setup issue? How difficult is it to change or setup so that developers can stop using Snapshot?
