Advanced user of CA PanvaletI had the opportunity to use CA Panvalet in my very first profession, happened to use it for 3+ years.
The best thing about CA Panvalet is its ease of use.
Having the experience of working with other version controls , I believe Panvalet is the most easiest tool to use, be it retrieve, edit, delete, rename.
Also, the MENU is so simple that we can easily navigate through for the required operations.
Can never really think of any features that I dislike.
This product is so good that for someone even w/o much experience, they can start handling it in a day.
One thing though is PANVALET might be difficult to use in AGILE cases as the code management would be a little bit complicated.
One suggestion to budding developers who use Panvalet is to always have the backup of their source code. The reason is in most cases, the source code locking feature will not be accessible to the developers so there is always a chance of our code getting overridden.
In order to, avoid the rework it is always essential to have the backup.
Also another key suggestion is, we can make us of the rename utility available so that the same program with different versions can be available (with different names though).
Benefits include the below:
- Retrieval / Update can be done quickly.
- We can secure the program / lock the program.
- The BATCH mode support too is easy compared to other version controls where at times the creation of SCLs are time consuming & takes time to understand.
