The business logic for the Rational Team Concert STG Defect work item has a number of functions that can be configured to customize the behavior of STG Defect for a customer group or project.

Main Description

The XML-based configuration of the process template is relatively straightforward:

  • To disable a precondition, search for the precondition id and delete or comment out the entire <precondition>...</precondition> XML tag (or <followup-action> tag).
  • To change the configuration of a precondition, use the existing child XML tags as an example.

Only work item ids are used in the XML files, not names. For example to configure the Story work item type you would use the id com.ibm.team.apt.workItemType.story. All of the ids can be found elsewhere in the process configuration.

To configure values for drop-down attributes, you may use the Eclipse or Web GUI editor to add enumeration values to the attribute's enumeration. For example, to configure Internal Releases on the Change Record work item, add enumeration values to the com.ibm.stg.enumeration.internalRelease2 enumeration.

The attached file shows all the business logic functions and their IDs is attached: STG_Defect_Business_Logic.pdf.
