I am thinking of putting git source control into play in my directory of models for transformer and framework.
Trnasformer models i can save them to .mdl and have them under source control. What about Framework models? i will put them as they are binary just for revision keeping, but is there a way to have textual representation like .mdl files?
Also if anyone is using git for cognos please share your experiences..
Thanks.
None of the files of a Framework Manager project are binary. They are all text.

It's always better to have anything under source control if you can. Every once in while I've seen posts where someone is looking to recover a model, usually because it only existed on the hard drive of his predecessor. I feel terrible when I read them.

So if i break down what i know it goes like this:
- Framework Managers: Text files that can go under git source control
- Transformer: I must export all my models to mdl and put that under source control
- Support batch files for cube building e.t.c: Text files under source control
What about content?
I could include the zip file as binary in source control which is an option.
Also i suppose i could export all the reports (or the important ones) specification and put them in source control?
Any other hint?
