Asset review and governance

With IBM® Rational® Asset Manager, you can use review processes or lifecycle workflows to ensure that an asset is complete, accurate, and optimized for reuse.

Community administrators define the review processes or lifecycles for the assets in their communities.

In Rational Asset Manager Version 7.2, you can create custom lifecycles for assets by using the user interface of the Rational Asset Manager Web client.

When an asset will enter either a lifecycle or a review process

An asset can be governed only by a single lifecycle or review process. When you submit an asset to a community, the asset enters a lifecycle or workflow in the following order:
  1. First, the asset is checked to determine if it can be part of any custom lifecycles in the community.
  2. If no lifecycles apply to the asset, it is checked to determine if it can be part of any review processes that are created in the community.
  3. If no review processes apply to the asset, it enters a simple, implicit lifecycle process.
