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 on the Design Management Server.
This process must be done while you are setting up your project, and
you cannot move from one mode to the other after you specify the data
management mode to use.
About this task
You can define how a project stores design content in
two ways:
- Managed externally using import definition:
This mode stores design content in an SCM, and imports design 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 SCM provides; conversely,
this mode is more time consuming and is not as simple as having the Design Management Server manage
design 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 might not be as robust as managing design content
through an SCM system, you can use this mode when the basic configuration
management capabilities provided by the Design Management Server are
sufficient.
