You, or someone with administrator permissions, can modify
project properties to specify where designs are stored. You can store
designs in a traditional software configuration management (SCM) system
such as Rational Team Concert or Rational ClearCase, or you can store
designs within the Design Management Server.
This process must be done while you are setting up your project, and
you cannot be move from one mode to the other after you specify the
data management mode you want to use.
About this task
You can define how a project stores model content in two
ways:
- Managed externally using import definition:
This mode stores model content in an SCM, and imports model content
periodically through scheduled import sessions or automatically, through
the use of Ant scripting. The advantage of using this mode is richer
source control capabilities that a traditional CSM provides; conversely,
this mode is more time consuming and isn't as easy to use as having
the Design Management Server manage
model content. Further, this mode also stores two copies of your design
resources.
- Actively managed with Design Manager: This
mode stores designs within the Design Management Server environment.
While this mode may not be as robust as managing model content through
an SCM system, you can use this model when the basic configuration
management capabilities provided by the Design Management Server are
sufficient.
Procedure
- Log in to the Administration page of the Jazz Team Server
or an application registered with the server.
- Open the dashboard for the project: Click the Home icon
near the top left, and in the Design Management section, click the
project name.
- Open the properties page for the project: On the right
side of the toolbar, click the Administration icon
and select Manage Project Properties.
- Open the Domains page for the project. From the sidebar,
under Modeling, click Domains. The Domains
page opens.
- Specify how your project will manage model data by selecting
one of the following modes:
- Managed externally using import definition
- Actively managed with Design Manager
- Specify the type project area:
- Select the Documentation System Domain to be associated
with this project.
- Click Save.
