PVCS Version Manager VS GIT?
By Theresa Miller - June 27, 20191 Answer

We may need to switch from our long standing, 20+ years use of PVCS VM to GIT.  CM would like to maintain a Master repository with no branching but allow the developers the freedon to do so bur then merge back into the master.  Also are their resources available on pulling information from GIT repository for reports as in a list of files, revisions and change dates for each baseline?  Is their any formal training available for GIT and setting it up?  Thanks for any guidance on this.

What kind of software is everyone using to keep track of all documentation related to release management.
By Paul Perry - November 26, 2018No Answers

Tools like JIRA, Service Now for Incident management, I'm looking for a software platform that will keep track of all related documentation, test plans, user sign offs etc... But what I have not been able to find and is critical for me is a Parent - Child, Child - Child relationship of all changes.

Such as:

CR12345 - is the parent record

  CR12345A - is a child record to CR12345

     CR12345A1 - is a child record of CR12345A

CR12345B is a child record to CR12345

Has anyone seen software that can support this? 

in SYNERGY source control, is there a way for testers to access the code thru tasks before it is committed and how to achieve
By Sundarrajan Rangarajan - September 16, 2018No Answers

We are using SYNERGY source control.

The requirement is , after the coder has done the changes, it has t be tested by the tester and only  upon testing completion, the code should be delivered to source control repository.

it is like A jonkins job for testers where the coding tasks will be given as input parameters and it takes care of deployment in he test environment. after the 'testing' success, the developer will be asked to 'commit' thier changes permenantly. Please hellp me how this process can be implemnted in synergy

What are the current IBM/Rational offerings?
By Arthur Adams - August 24, 20171 Answer

I've used Ratiional ClearCase and ClearQuest in the past, but it's been a long time - at least seven years since I used CQ, and probably a decade since I used CC. On a project where we used both, I had them integrated. (I used them enough to refer to them collectively as "ClearWaste".)

I'm currently tasked with evaluating various CM-related suites for where I'm working now, and I'm finding it very confusing to determine just what IBM is currently offering.

I see ClearCase and ClearQuest are still sold. Are they actively supported?

As far as I can tell, DOORS and DOORSNg have replaced RequisitePro.

I see there's Jazz and Team Concert -- what's the difference between the two?

Does Team Concert use the other tools like ClearCase, ClearQuest, and DOORS? Does it replace them?

And finally, do the IBM tools still have a very cost compared to tools like the Atlassian Suite and Microsoft TFS?

I'm kind of limited in what I can see at IBM's web site since they use a great deal of YouTube videos and YouTube is blocked here. The only browser we have is IE and the IBM web sites to try demo version of the tools won't on IE, either.
