Now that we have support for the Repository Project and xfServer Plus C# Generation the next step is to automate the updating of the Synergy Method Catalog XML File.

Ideally this process would be put into a Tattler Process to help developers understand when their changes cause ripple.

In order to do this today these steps have to be followed:

1.     Build Repository
2.     Build the SMC using MDU ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Synergex\SynergyDE\dbl\bin\dbr.exe" mdu R:\MDU -m "R:\MDU\rpsmain.eng" -t "R:\MDU\rpstext.eng" -u xfpl.smc)
3.     Export the SMC using MDU ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Synergex\SynergyDE\dbl\bin\dbr.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Synergex\SynergyDE\dbl\mdu.dbr" R:\MDU -m "R:\MDU\rpsmain.eng" -t "R:\MDU\rpstext.eng" -e S:\TimsSVN\8x\Trunk\Synergy\CoreLibraries\XfServerLibrary\Program\cuxfpl.smc)
4.     Diff the Files; if there are changes then you have caused Ripple.

We believe we have solutions today for 1 and 2; however we feel that Synergex should be providing the appropriate MSBuild Wrappers for step 3.
