Administering global configuration project areas
A project area is an area in the repository where information about one or more projects
is stored. Administrators can create, configure, and manage global configuration project
areas.
Project areas for Global Configuration Management (GCM) Team areas in the GCM application Finding different configurations of the same component in Engineering Workflow Management SCM and RMM contributions (Detecting deep component skew) IBM® Engineering Workflow Management source control management (SCM) and IBM Engineering Systems Design Rhapsody® - Model Manager , often contain nested local configurations. When a configuration hierarchy contains different configurations of the same component, skew occurs. To detect skew in nested local configurations, install the Eclipse Amlen MQTT broker and set values for the MQTT advanced server properties. Limiting GCM contributions by enforcing project area associations Enabling GCM servers to contribute configurations to other GCM servers IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management deployments need to collaborate on product assemblies across multiple lines of business. As an experiment in implementing this use case, you can configure a Global Configuration Management (GCM) server to accept contributions from different GCM servers. The contribution of a global configuration from one GCM server to a global configuration on a different GCM server is called an external contribution .Assigning URIs and creating RDF vocabulary documents Global Configuration Management (GCM) project areas. Otherwise, you might end up with inconsistencies such as unintended type definition duplication.Managing type definitions Global Configuration Management (GCM) project area. Users can select attributes and links that are defined at the project area level when they create or edit a global configuration or global component.Sharing GCM type definitions across project areas Global Configuration Management (GCM) project areas.Adding release links in global configurations IBM Engineering Workflow Management application, but can be added within global configurations in the Global Configuration Management (GCM) application. A global configuration's release links are used for viewing incoming links in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® Next (DOORS Next ) and IBM Engineering Test Management from work items to versioned artifacts, such as requirements and test cases.Administering personal streams in the GCM application Global Configuration Management (GCM) administrator. As an administrator, you can view, scrub, modify, and archive or restore team members' personal streams.Role-based permissions for Global Configuration Management (GCM) Global Configuration Management (GCM) project areas and team areas have specific role-based permissions that determine which actions you can perform in the application.Creating global configuration process templates Adding data providers to Lifecycle Query Engine by using root services documents LQE data provider if the application is registered with a different Jazz® Team Server than LQE .Managing global configuration process templates
