Configuration Management Tool : Configuration Management Operations

Configuration Management Operations

Most of the Rational Statemate Configuration Management operations are common to both the Databank and the Workarea. For example, you can check items out from either the Databank or the workarea. Some operations, however, are unique to one or the other. For example, you only can check items in using the Workarea.

The following table show the configuration operations that can be performed in the databank and the workarea.
