Mercurial Setup for Lotus Domino Designer 8.5.3

Question

Work on setting up and controlling Mercurial Source Control with Lotus Domino Designer 8.5.3.

The reference destination from Lotusphere 2012, "AD102: source control for IBM Lotus Domino Developer," was used as a guide.

What i have done so far:

• Install 8.5.3 Client and Designer using the installation file CI1LPEN.exe
• Eclipse plugin included for installation from design settings
• File, application, installation 1.6.0 MercurialEclipse and 1.4.3 Mercurial Binaries from http://cbes.javaforge.com/update
• They are confirmed by going to "File", "Application", "Application Management" and seeing them in the list
• Closed Domino developer and client. Restarted.
• When I open the application in Designer and click on its title one by one, the "Team Development" option is not specified. So it was not possible to "configure the control source for this application .."

Are there any other prerequisites that need to be installed for this, or do I need to choose different installation packages?

Answer 1

Found a problem and it works for me.

The first thing I needed to do was install the "Source Code": http://www.openntf.org/internal/home.nsf/project.xsp?action=openDocument&name=Source%20Control%20Enablement%20for%20Designer .

The next step was that I right-clicked the application name in the application bar when I had to right-click the application name in the navigation pane.

Now let's see the "Team Development" option.

They managed to run Mercurial through it - commit, branch, merge, etc.

If you are in 8.5.3, then nothing needs to be installed. HOWEVER, the "Team Development" menu option appears only if you are in the XPages perspective. It does not appear in the Domino Development perspective.
