Products, streams, and component baselines
When you integrate with Rational Team Concert™, you
create relationships between products, streams, and component baselines,
which interact and behave in specific ways. The top-level of a product
tree must be a product configuration, but you can create child products
to support and organize your streams and component baselines.
Integration workflow
Rational® Engineering
Lifecycle Manager integrates with Rational Team Concert. The
integration enables teams to work in the context of the artifacts
(products, streams, and component baselines) that they are developing.
Connecting products, streams, and component baselines
Rational
Team Concert and Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager exchange component baselines after streams are connected
to products. The exchange of component baselines is always initiated
from the Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager interface. You can add as many components to a stream
as you need, without limit.
Receiving and sending component baselines
Rational
Team Concert and Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager exchange component baselines whenever a stream manager
receives or sends component baselines by using the Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager interface.
Generating load rules for component baselines
Load rules offer a convenient way to define a subset of
a product tree that you want to load into a Rational Team Concert workspace.
In Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager, you can generate a load rules file. After you add
component baselines to your repository workspace in Rational Team Concert, use
load rules to load only the component baselines that you want to work
on.
