Configuration Management Tool : Using Configuration Management

Using Configuration Management

A Configuration file is a “snapshot” of the current workarea, including all configuration item versions. Configuration files are used primarily for capturing milestones or releases of a project. Other users can execute a Configuration file to load the same items (and versions) that you have in your workarea.

Configuration files are also useful when you upgrade to a new major Rational Statemate release.

 
Menu Operation
Create Configuration
Creates a Configuration file that captures the current workarea. You can include all files or only selected files.
At the same time, you can check in the new Configuration file and/or the files that are in the configuration itself.
Execute Configuration
Selects a previously created Configuration file and loads charts/files into your workarea. The Configuration file must exist in the workarea. If it does not, check the Configuration file out of the databank.
