CM Synergy version problems for XYZ db - why is process so slow?
By Sameer Deshmukh 6 Answers

Question asked to me by Build engineer to resolve below problem:

Checking-in objects (around 1000 or may be more) has become painful now. It takes at least 3-4 hours; ideally, it shouldn’t take more than one hour as compared to other synergy location.
The problem is version handlings in our database which creates long versions and to manage versions for so many objects I have to take back-ups, remove folders from directory and create completely new object versions which are really time consuming processes.

In Synergy 7.1 when creating project, why is purpose not visible?
By Deepak Bawankar 4 Answers

New synergy 7.1 db created for testing, we created custom Process and Process rules based on Synergy's default Process/Process rules (valid and working in other production databases). Now, if I want to create a new project, then I am not able to select any purpose (It shows blank), the message displayed is "No valid purposes for this release", but when I find Process/Process rules, everything is displayed correctly. Even in the Releases, the purposes are correctly set and visible. The problem occurs when I try to create the project.

What type of access to systems should CM have?
By tiger78232 1 Answer

We have an environment made of of Web Servers (Windows 2003). We use something called "provisioning" to populate a farm of web servers that are used by the customer/user.

In my promotion process, we have the normal types of environments we are all used to have: development, QA (testing environment), and a production environment... with some others environments like a training environment and a production (duplicate) environment... (plus of course, a backup environment. All the latter environments are (and should be) equaled to production.

What is the best alternative to Rational ClearCase- SVN or Perforce?
By fred.vergenz 2 Answers

The cost of Rational ClearCase licensing combined with the complexities of UCM and MultiSite have forced us to look at alternative tools. We have five locations over 3 continents with a mix of UCM, base ClearCase, and MultiSite implementations. Through discussions with CM folks at our sibling subsidiary companies we have narrowed the options to SVN or Perforce.

Could somebody please give their opinions on how these tools stack up against ClearCase?

How can we adopt CMDB during the early stages of the product/system/programe/project lifecycle?
By David Clarke 1 Answer

I was after some feedback on how far the CMDB concept has been adopted in the earlier stages of the product/system/programe/project lifecycle, i.e. between the initial Bid Stage, through Requirements, Analysis, Design, Development, Integration, Test, to say into a definitive media library (DML or DSL) prior to delivery to the Operational environment.

I would like to know whether there are any organisations out there trying to implement this and if so on which tools and perhaps how far/well this has been achieved.

Are there solutions to performance problems using ClearCase over VPN?
By bluemoon 2 Answers

I have performance problem with ClearCase over VPN.

I don't see problem with dynamic views on AIX. However, rebase/deliver for snapshot views on windows over VPN is extremely slow.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone's having the same issue and what are the solution.

Currently we are using cleracase version 8.

Should we associate defect reports and change requests to files on checkin or checkout?
By Mark Owens 1 Answer

We are doing some process implementation and improvement. There is some debate about whether to associate a checkout of a source file in our repository to Defect Reports (DR) and Change Requests (CR) on checkout of source code, or on the checkin.

I've only worked with association at checkout, so we get visibility into ongoing work, but I wanted to get a feel for what others say about one way or the other.

So to clarify, what are the pros and cons of the following two scenarios:
