Ok List, I did quite a bit of searching through the site and I saw some references to this but no overall opinions. Here is the scenario. We support multiple completely separate instances of E1 and so in order to simplify our build procedures we do the following:
We have a nice well organized status driven system in OMW that provides a "checks and balances" atmosphere so CNCs and developers can look at a status and tell exactly where their project is in the lifecycle. That all works great.
The other thing we do is only assemble packages based on project name and not by doing an object by object build.
The issue we have run into and what appears to be happening is that a developer will create a project with nothing but versions in it and when it comes to assembly time, we put in a package name and nothing shows up on the assembly screen. Alternately, you can't simply check the object out in the project and then erase the check out so that even if the project holds the token for that object, the assembly still only sees it if the object has been checked in to that project.
So my overall question is, do you require your developers to include the base report template in the project and to check it out and back in to the project or do you build object by object package assemblies?
The developers are hesitant to check out and back in a UBE base template that they haven't modified or touched at all because now their name gets attached to it in the OMW logging and they didn't really do anything to it. This has to be done just so that the report will show up in the package assembly process. Others viewpoints?
