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.
Before you begin
There is no formal role for the team member who manages
streams. However, the tasks require a level of project information
that a development lead or team manager knows.
Procedure
- In Rational
Team Concert, set up a stream and add components to it. See Creating streams.
Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager connects
to streams, and receives and sends components. The source files that
are part of a component are not part of the integration.
- In Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager, in the Browse Products screen,
create a product configuration to collect the products to be connected
to a stream.
See Creating a product configuration.
- In the Browse Products screen, create
a child product under the configuration you created in step 2. You
will use it to connect to a Rational Team Concert stream.
After you connect the product to a stream and receive components
into it, the product name changes to match the stream name.
See Creating a product.
- Connect to a Rational
Team Concert stream by right-clicking the product that you created
in the previous step and selecting .
- In the Connect to Stream window,
enter all or part of the stream name, and then choose the stream that
you want to connect to.
To connect to a different Rational Team Concert server,
use the Search Rational Team Concert Server list.
If you do not see the server that you need, request your administrator
to add the server to the Settings > Integrations > Rational
Team Concert screen.
After the product is connected
to the stream, the product is renamed to match the stream name. If
you want the names to match, you do not need to do anything further.
If you want the connected product to have a different name, you can
rename it at any time.
Connecting a product to a stream does
not modify the Rational
Team Concert stream nor does it create products that are connected
to components baseline in Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager. A connected product only associates the Rational Engineering Lifecycle
Manager product to a Rational
Team Concert stream. Component baselines are exchanged when initiated
from a Rational Engineering
Lifecycle Manager send or receive operation.
