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 Global Configuration Management project area with the Configuration Lead role. This role has permissions to create, modify, and manage the global components and configurations.Team areas in the Global Configuration Management application Finding different configurations of the same component in Engineering Workflow Management SCM and Rhapsody Model Manager 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 Global Configuration Management contributions by enforcing project area associations IBM DOORS® Next or Engineering Test Management applications, you can configure the Global Configuration Management application to enforce project area associations.Enabling Global Configuration Management servers to contribute configurations to other Global Configuration Management 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 server to accept contributions from different Global Configuration Management servers. The contribution of a global configuration from one Global Configuration Management server to a global configuration on a different Global Configuration Management server is called an external contribution .Assigning URIs and creating RDF vocabulary documents Global Configuration Management project areas. Otherwise, you might end up with inconsistencies such as unintended type definition duplication.Managing type definitions Global Configuration Management 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 Global Configuration Management type definitions across project areas Global Configuration Management 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 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 Global Configuration Management application Global Configuration Management administrator. As an administrator, you can view, scrub, modify, and archive or restore team members' personal streams.Role-based permissions for Global Configuration Management Global Configuration Management 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 Lifecycle Query Engine data provider if the application is registered with a different Jazz® Team Server than Lifecycle Query Engine .Managing global configuration process templates
