Recent Q&A Activity

I work in a shop where cloning of databases, etc. is new.

The operations Mgr. wants to make a clone of the Dimensions CM database and application and have me test an upgrade (from 2009R1 to 2009R2) using these clones. I've been told that this upgrade is necessary so that Dimensions will be compatible with the Oracle 11g migration that is about to take place.

Has anyone had any experience with this? If so, what did it take to make it successful?

I noticed that <dbpath>/db does get a new timestamp, but since we run backups everyday, the timestamp of <dbpath>/db does not help in this case.

Is there any other means of querying for this info?

Actually, the usage is to determine if a database should still be kept live or should be archived and dropped.

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.

I'm interested in both:

1. Basic (must have) metrics

2. Advanced (good to have) metrics

Hello,
Can anyone list out the steps that are involved in performing the upgrade of ClearCase, CCRC and ClearQuest to the new version 7.1.1.5 from 7.0.x version on the linux server.

Thanks for your help in advance.

New to TeamScript, I am trying to set a Binary field (SEND_TO_DOCUMENTUM)to Yes or No based on a single selection of YES.

I wrote the script below, but keep getting an SYNTAX error -- ERR #25 for the SetFieldValue lines.

The DBNAME of the field is SEND_TO_DOCUMENTUM.

Does someone know what I need to do to remove the errors from the script below?

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?

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

I need help with advantages of CA SCM over IBM Clearcase. If any one has a document or a presentation already prepared, please let me know.

I am trying to use a post script in SCM Harvest to change ownership and permission on a file that was refreshed on a agent.

Need help with how to accomplish this.

Is there any experience out there regarding "Version Management" of HP Extream entities/artifacts? (I think it used to be called Dialogue)

Basically we are currently exporting some ".pub" files from Extream (which we can load into our VM tool) for deployment to Test/Live. But it "appears" that there is no method to reload/re-import these files back into Extream.
