Hi,

Shall you share experience on how to keep track changes done in DDT during development? Would you check in package generated to source control system? How do you compare the the difference?



Thank you

Yep, we check in produced packages for our builds into TFS and use that as our source control for the DDT.  It doesn't allow you to track changes as you would with a standard code file, but it still provides a safety net in case of lost data.

Hi,

any plan to enhance it?

Thank you

No, not at this time. This is a function of source control, not of the framework, so there really isn't much we could do to extend that functionality.

Hi,

Is it possible to generate all relevant XML without package them so that I can compare and check in these XML files?



Thank you

You can export them using the Export button in Package-It tool included with SF, you can even just drag and drop the XML files, copy-paste etc.

Yup, Keith nailed it Smile  Thanks, Keith.
