Modifying Legacy reviews for assets

The default review process provides governance over assets in the repository.

About this task

Note: This topic describes functions that are supported, but no longer recommended as of Rational® Asset Manager, Version 7.2. If you used policy processes and review processes prior to V7.2, you can still access and manage them. However, you cannot create new review processes unless they are using Rational ClearQuest®. Instead, create custom lifecycles with the Rational Asset Manager web interface to manage the development of assets on your repository. For more information, see Asset lifecycle and development and Creating master lifecycles.

As of Rational Asset Manager V7.2 or later, you cannot create new default reviews; however, you can modify existing ones that you were using before you upgraded to V7.2 or later. You can also still create new reviews based on Rational ClearQuest or Bugzilla,
