Or others?

On CM Synergy Server, is there a way to log all the client requests to the CM Synergy server on the Server?

I need to know if there is a way to log all the client requests to the CM Synergy server on the Server. I know that the Client maintains a log, but is there a way to log them on the server as well.

I need to specifically know when each user last updated the source code.

Build Management Essentials You Need to Know

What are the appropriate continuous integration retention policies?

I am working at a 500 SW developer shop as a SCM Tool specialist. Our products are under supervision from legal standards and authorities (very much like the medical industry with FDA). Within the SCM tool we store source code, built items and product documentation.

The problem at hand is that we are coming up against a limit to how much data we can host, as we currently do not have an active retention policy, and I am asked to come up with one.

It would be interesting to learn of how other businesses are dealing with the deletion of CI's (that are between baselines). Best practices?

Stories from our kind of business is a bonus, but any feedback is most welcome too.

The problem might only exist for certain SCM tools, all depending on how CI's are stored, but it is certainly a problem for us.

Trigger to Prevent view creation in ClearCase / ClearQuest

We are an interop shop currently upgraded to CC/CQ 7.1.1.1 Our vob/view server is unix (SOL). End users are all Windows XP Prof OS (some Linux later)

One of the uses for Rational is a 4 year old home grown DocMgmt app which uses CQ as the document request meta data piece and CC as the document repository for the documents.

One of our user groups (call them TEO for 'Their Eyes Only') wishes to use the system, but needs more security than what is provided currently. Clearcase is set up with only one Clearcase group which has access to all VOBS in an effort to reduce operational maintenance costs (I'm told). However, this means anyone who can create a view, in any region, on any stream on any VOB.

Help for Merge Activities between Streams and Projects in ClearCase

Do you have problems merging activities between projects and streams ?

Use Merge Activity - Context menu tool (right click on ClearCase Explorer) You can download the tool from:

https://sites.google.com/site/cmanywhere/downloads-1

You will need to configure the tool as context menu in ClearCase explorer with filelist argument.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
