Of course if you have a team of very low cost developers that you don’t trust too much, then that’s another stroy all together. But for projects under $500,000 I don’t think it adds enough value to save money for the client. And of course its great for developing and maintaining Add-Ons, Vertical solutions, for Clients that have in house development, and for huge systems that can justify the additional cost.

Where I found VSS great, was were you have at least 4 full time developers working on a large project for a few months, by definition that meant something with a minimum of 2,000 hours of pure programming. After doing a lot of analysis on their work, we were able to show thatt hey had about a 40% overhead to maintan VSS with Navision, and this was going straight out as billed time to the clients. We once took over an NSC that used VSS for all their projects. Phenomenen, I have used VSS on Navision projects in the past, and definitely it has its place, but not for most projects. Naji, thanks for the links, but I have google (sorry ) I really wanted first hand experience, but I do appreciate your effort in any case thanks. You have convinced me, and I will give it a try. Thanks Daniel, that’s exactly what I was trying to find out.

#WINMERGE VSS LICENSE#

It addresses all the things that I am looking for in a compare tool, so I stopped looking and convinced my boss to get a site license (which gets really cheap). I’ve used Codewright, Araxis and Winmerge, and Beyond Compare is head and shoulders above those programs. I had one issue once where NAV wouldn’t let me import a text file due to an object number dupe (a textbox that I had copied over had the same number as an existing one), and that was easily fixed. It does not have a 3 way compare thing, but it lets you modify files that compile in NAV. This is days of usage, not calendar days. It says 30 day trial, but you get an extra 15 days.

You can download a trial version of Beyond Compare here. I’m not making much sense here but you should really try it. The extra step to split up the big text file is really not all that much work, and I really like the clarity it gives me.įor instance, you don’t have to worry that you have the same objects in both files, because if BC doesn’t find a file of the same name in the other folder, you’ll see the file in one folder with an empty space in the other folder. All you need to do is split up the object files from two database into two folders, and it will give you a screen with all differences, from which you can then drill down into each individual file. It doesn’t like very long target pathnames, so use a temp folder on C.īeyond Compare lets you compare folders, which I use all the time. With a click of a button you can split a big object file into files per object, and you control what they are called. What I do now is export all objects into one text file, and then I use the text file splitter (you can download it from mibuso here). I used to feel the same way, but since I moved to Beyond Compare I have changed my mind. Obviously I could split the text file into individual objects, but that would be insane, I want all objects in one file.
