configuration management

Question

Is there an official Configuration Management Handbook?

Has anyone actually authored a Configuration Management Handbook? If so, can you provide one for me to look at or a template to follow?

The governmnet organization I am supporting has never heard of this concept and is determined to get it confused with a CM Policy and a CM Plan.

Is There a Place in the Agile World for Tools?

When folks started moving to agile development around the turn of the century, they first moved away from using certain automated tools. They did this mostly in order to get rid of project management tools and focus on face-to-face communications. This was a reasonable reaction to what had turned into a world of silos and automated workflow management. We developers were ridding ourselves of the mechanisms that produce all of that ceremony and reams of design documents. We would only use index cards and hand-drawn charts on a whiteboard. We didn’t want any tools to get in the way of the real work we were doing.

In Serena Dimensions, is there a way to get user defined attributes via the JAVA API

You can query and get the value of systemattributes via the Java API:

Request.queryAttribute and passing the SystemAttributes.XXX

So, is there a way to query the user defined attributes of a request, i.e Target Release?

How to get the user's name with JavaScript in Harvest version 7.1?

We are planning to upgrade Harvest 7.1 to CA SCM 12.1SP2.

The handling of forms changed and unfortunately the scripting language, too. Now we would like to get the users name within an change event. With VBScript we had an User-object.

Where is the CA SCM userinfo located? In the editor object?

Is there a documentation for or experiences with the editor object?

Any help welcome
