Implementation - Data Structures

• Map files

  • “Map” files are data files that serve two functions:
    • Provide a mapping between two directory structures for a given file list.
      • Key input to copy and VOB loading utilities.
    • Provide a formal master list of product deliverables used in documentation
  • Two master map files: one for Source VOBs, one for Externals VOB
  • Format is a 3-tuple: from location path, to location path, file name
  • Map files specify path patterns, not hard-coded locations
    • Utilities which use these map files accept parameters for prepending path information (such as view prefix) to form real path name
    • Example: Map file: \rep\BigBlue\exe\%config% \Honeywell\SYSTEM\BIN bigblue.exeCommand line: cpfils z:\ s:\scm\builds\PS101.0-70.1Result: xcopy z:\rep\BigBlue\exe\debug\bigblue.exe  s:\scm\builds\PS101.0-70.1\Honeywell\SYSTEM\BIN
