Methods and Systems for Source Control Management
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions which, in response to execution by a computer-based system for source control management, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
- accessing, by the computer-based system, a transaction processing facility (TPF) platform via a web interface, wherein the web interface allows access to a data repository and a toolkit;
checking out, by the computer-based system, a selected component of a package of the TPF platform;
transmitting, by the computer-based system, a copy of the selected component to a local computer for modification by a user;
receiving, by the computer-based system, an edited copy of the selected component from the local computer;
checking in, by the computer-based system, the edited copy of the selected component;
comparing, by the computer-based system, the edited copy of the selected component with the selected component; and
providing, by the computer-based system, component level warnings of differences between the edited copy of the selected component and the selected component.

Abstract
A source control management system comprises accessing a TPF platform via a web interface. The system checks out a selected component of a package and transmits a copy of the component to a local computer for modification by a user. The user is able to edit and modify the component without having to download the entire package, which is much faster. Once the user completes the editing, the source control management system receives an edited copy of the component from the local computer. Furthermore, the system includes checking in the edited copy and comparing to the unedited component while providing component level warnings of differences. A second copy of the component may be transmitted for independent modification. This allows for multiple users to work on the same component at the same time. The multiple versions of the component are combined and the appropriate modifications are made to the primary component.

18. A system embodied on a computer readable medium that provides for source control management, the system comprising:
-
a computer system having a transaction processing facility (TPF) platform, wherein the computer system comprises a repository, database access program, script library, secure shell, and Java servlet; a toolkit module having a toolkit plugin that interacts with the Java servlet; a web interface module for user interaction with the computer system; and a data storage module for storing a package of the TPF platform, wherein the package comprises multiple components; wherein a selected component is checked out by a user and a copy of the selected component is transmitted by the system to a local computer, and wherein the system receives an edited copy of the selected component from the local computer; wherein the computer system checks in the edited copy of the selected component and compares the edited copy of the selected component with the selected component, and wherein the system provides component level warnings of differences between the edited copy of the selected component and the selected component. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method comprising:
-
accessing, by a computer-based system for source control management, a transaction processing facility (TPF) platform via a web interface, wherein the web interface allows access to a data repository and a toolkit; checking out, by the computer-based system, a selected component of a package of the TPF platform; transmitting, by the computer-based system, a copy of the selected component to a local computer for modification by a user; receiving, by the computer-based system, an edited copy of the selected component from the local computer; checking in, by the computer-based system, the edited copy of the selected component; comparing, by the computer-based system, the edited copy of the selected component with the selected component; and providing, by the computer-based system, component level warnings of differences between the edited copy of the selected component and the selected component.
