Personal Developer Environment

Menu/Edit Users/Edit Developer Environment
 
For every developer, you can specify a personal developer environment.
 
  • Select the environment (select the development environment - which is basically the first environment in the promotion path. The personal environment is like another environment before the common development environment).
  • Select a location. (You can add personal environments for selected locations only, i.e. only the client objects, but not the iSeries objects. Or you can of course specify it for every location)
  • Specify the directories and/or libraries for the selected locations
 
Once you have configured the personal developer environment, this will affect the
System i Import and the File System Import, because MatchPoint assumes that you
want to import objects from your personal environment (no effect on the Plex import
though).
 
When you leave the function Edit Promotion Objects after adding objects to your
promotion, MatchPoint will ask you if you want to promote the objects to the common
developer environment. Yes - the objects will be moved/copied to the development
environment, No - no object is moved/copied to the development environment. The
only thing you have to make sure is that you do it at one point before you promote the
change request into testing.
 
It is quite common to check the option Delete Objects. This way you only have
objects in your personal environment you're currently working on, and once you move
them into the common development environment, they are deleted from your
personal environment. This works well with client objects as well as iSeries objects
(put the personal libraries on top of the library list).
