configuration management

For my product, we have 1000's of source files but only a dozen or so need to be customized to brand the product.

Right now I keep copies of those files for each customer. I merge base product changes into the branded files as part of the branding process and I overlay the base product files with the branded files as part of the build process.

Is there a better way?

We're using Synergy 7.1 and Change.

Some tasks were completed and should be associated to a change request. I tried with ccm_admin role :

ccm task -a / -relate task -problem problem

but since the problem is in "concluded" state it failed.

Is there another way ?

I am new in overall field of Build and Release.

I have installer experience and currently working on build tool like Buildforge for carrying out daily builds and further creating installers using installshield.

In my organisation we have a separate group SCM which comes under our team BRT but have different responsibility to manage SCM tool. We use clearcase and clearquest in our organisation.

I have been offered to work in IBM Rational admin role for build and release. I am confused between admin task and build engineer job to create build script for different project and managing build tool such like build forge. In SCM admin task, we have responsiblity like project creation,VOB Migration,multisite,Managing rational server and other task related to SCM admin.

Can any one suggest scope of what role is more preferable?

Input from the people on this forum would be really valueable for me.

Looking forward for your suggestion.

This past Tuesday, December 14th, I attended the U.S. Department of Defense Agile Development Conference in Washington DC put on by the Association For Enterprise Information. During the conference the expanding commitment to agile by the DOD community was clear.
