Managing releases and builds for Rational Synergy
Build management is the process by which a software product
for a company is managed and built. When a company controls its code
by using Rational® Synergy,
it gives the job of managing and building the software product to
the build manager.
- Build management road map
This road map links you to operations you must complete to prepare for, then implement build management operations for your team. Complete these tasks each time you start a new project. - Preparing for build management
Build management is the process by which a software product for a company is built and managed. - Following the build process
The build process for a site is the process that the site undergoes to build test areas, find problems, and build a quality product. The build process is similar for all sites, no matter how large or small. - Updating and conflicts
The update operation updates your project with the latest set of changes that satisfy the update properties. The update properties resolve to a baseline project and a set of tasks. - Baselining projects
A baseline is a set of projects and tasks used to represent your data at a specific point in time. A baseline has many uses. - Managing builds
As the build manager, you are responsible for the workflow your company uses to build and manage its software product. - Sharing products
Product sharing happens when developers share products that were built by the build manager. - Packaging an application
Application packaging is a way to release your application to any customer, whether they are internal customers (for example, SQE) or external customers (for example, CIA). - Using parallel releases
A patch is any release in which you rebuild portions of your application with one or more fixes. - Restructuring projects
Project restructuring is the rearranging of integration or system testing project members by converting directories into projects, adding projects to, or removing projects from the hierarchy. - Build management variations
All companies do not build their applications in the same way. Each company has its own special needs. Company Q might be new and small with one product offering. Company V might be large, offering several products on different platforms. - Converting to process rules
Conversion to process rules is included for existing customers. Additionally, these instructions help customers who started out not using process rules and want to transition to them.
