After reading Scott Roth‘s blogpost about managing DCMT urls (https://msroth.wordpress.com/2015/03/16/managing-all-those-environment-urls/) I decided to share my must-have tools when developing:
- The composer/repoint extensions: Absolutely must-have for me (that’s why I developed them :P): Composer/Repoint plugins/guides
- SecureCRT/mRemote/mRemoteNG/RoyalTS: For the last couple of years I’ve been using a custom fork from mRemoteNG with some added functionality. Currently I’m testing RoyalTS with the free 1-year EMC Elect license. Any of these is a must-have when working with remote servers and you should take your time to configure the commands to launch ftp/sftp/ssh commands from the connection list.
- Excel/CSV/sticky Notes/Browser bookmarks: To list every URL you have access to. Usually browser bookmarks/sticky notes work for me.
- Launchy/executor: Applications launchers. You can set them up to index browser bookmarks and quickly access DA/Webtop/whatever. The same goes for remote sessions.
- DQLTester: small, fast, samson-like utility. Even if it still uses dmcl, it’s probably the best portable tool to have in case of an emergency
- SquirrelSQL: Free/Open-Source database tool.
- dmclC: This is a little program I made that works as an application launcher. It allows to quickly change your dmcl.ini to point to a different docbroker. Useful when working in several environments when (still) using old clients and you don’t want to be manually editing dmcl.ini every time you wnat to use a different environment.
- Cygwin: You are always going to miss linux commands (tail!) when using Windows.
- dqMan: no comments needed, even if I’m not a huge fan
- Object Model Exporter by Stephane Marcon: New tool to export a Documentum object model including custom types
Feel free to add your favourite tools in the comments
