Recent Q&A Activity

I suppose this is both a "new CM Crossroads format" opinion as well as a question.  I have now attempted to follow two links from the old ClearCase International User Group (CCIUG) and both have come up with 404 Not Found errors.  How do I find this type of data?  The search utilties I've found on the site so far are worthless and the documents are just not to be found...

Here is a quick review of the new site:

Trying to provide answers to a couple posts I found that I can not include a link/url in the body of the reply or my answer is simply not posted. I received no notification that this was the case. It just did not show up. It is kind of frustrating to try and guess what happened.

It would seem that Q&A would be more usefull if you can point someone to an example but if not, I would like to suggest that...

A) there be some kind of notification telling posters ahead of time that they can not use links in their posts, or

Seriously what have you done to the site?!?!?

I do a lot of estimations for projects involving configuration management and data management. One of the requirements these days is that you make estimates based on historical actuals or metrics derived from same.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a highly correlatable metric that will definitively provide an estimate that will result in a fairly accurate bid (when compared to the conclusion of execution). I recognize that such things are highly variable, and a lot of items can impact getting a good metric.

Nowadays many large companies have outsourced their development to offshore. Almost all large organizations I've worked with has a large number of developers in India. One common issue is how to let them access to our SCM system?

Many use VPN, but have concerns, because these developers has nothing to do with our organization, e.g. we outsource to IBM, IBM gives it to India, and so on. There are concerns to let these developers come into our WAN/LAN directly from VPN.

We are having 20 named licenses and usually we run out of them, our company does not want to purchase more licenses, so is there any command to clear named licenses from license manager. I want to write a small script for the same.

Thanks,

I am using Synergy 7.1 client. I have set the value "save_to_wastebasket = FALSE" inside ccm.ini file. The path for ccm.ini file is C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\Synergy\7.1\etc\ccm.ini.

But, even after these changes, the _moved directory size is increasing.

Can you suggest what additional needs to done ?

I recently installed the Synergy CM 7.1.0.6 and Interim Fix included several bugfix. However, after installation when I try to launch my classic client, I recieves warning messages on missing cache. Something like this:-

"Warning: Missing cache file for object 'xyz.inc~2:UNKNOWN:db#1':<ccm_path>"

Can you tell me what might have gone wrong ? Is it the patch installation ?

We currently have Software Change Manager R12 (formerly Harvest). My users have experienced this error:

E03020054: The package named WB-DLAP00291371 is being used by Checkin. Client: /pt_HClient://COL1SCV55/7564 Server: /pt_HServer://s1x031/19689.

After researching is there a way to kill the Checkin process in the newest version? Application is runned on UNIX database?

I would like to know about your experience with the co-location of Agile and SCM practices in your organization.

Usman
