UDP - Processing sequence

[Jarus Bosman]

Hi,

Is there any way in Harvest to force the processing of certain file types ahead of others? I.e. define a sequence to process items by their extension when doing batch processing (eg. Promoting a package with multiple items that have different extensions).

Kind regards,
Jarus

Hello Jarus,

Can you explain the use case with an example?

Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar,

An example is a Delphi application. You have forms (.dfm), Pascal units (.pas) and a project file (.dpr). We want to process all the source code (i.e. save all the .dfm's and .pas files to reference directory using hsync) before we process the project file (.dpr), which does the compile to create an exe. If the .dpr gets processed before the Pascal units and forms are saved, your final .exe will not contain your changes. However, all 3 files might be in your Package at the time.

I hope this explains it well enough.
