This is the way we do it. In the startup phase the
developers share a development stream, but have
seperate views. Later on when the work can be seperatet
we create a stream for each developer.

James,
You have it right in that any change a person makes
needs to be delivered
and baselined before it can be accessed by anyone else.
It is painful in
the initial development stage of the project. It is
not particularly
mistake prone (if you can't see the doc in your view,
you just can't see the
doc), but it does cause a lot of heartburn ("But I just
need to see it, why
do I have to do all this stuff" will become a very
familiar phrase). You
might want to consider having everyone use one
development stream during
this initial phase only. That way project members can
read the docs, edit
them etc. in real time and deliver and baseline it when
it undergoes a peer
review periodically.
-Cheers,
Yamuna

Subject: [cciug] UCM: good for some artifacts, bad for
others?
Hello,
I am using ClearCase UCM (w/o ClearQuest integration at
the moment) in an
environment where we previously used SourceSafe. I am
running up against a
usability issue I was hoping that someone could help me
with.
It is early in the project and there are a lot of
documents being shared by
the develolpment team. They used to use SourceSafe to
share the documents.
This was easy for them: just check it in and the next
person can get it.
Now that we have moved to ClearCase using UCM, one
person must deliver their
changes, someone must baseline the delivered changes,
and then the
interested parties must rebase their development
stream. It strikes me that
I am not using UCM or ClearCase correctly if it is so
hard to do this.
People will make mistakes.
I think that this is particularly the case for
management documents. For
instance, you don't usually go through a change
management process for
changes made to the project plan -- right?
How do others use ClearCase UCM for managing these
types of documents in a
way that makes it easy for people make small changes
and share the results
with others? Maybe these type of documents shouldn't
be stored using UCM?
Sincerely,
James.
