Feature-specific development streams

A multiple-stream project may have additional shared work areas for developers who work together on specific parts of the project. Using UCM feature-specific development streams, the project can have multiple shared work areas.

A project manager can set up a stream hierarchy in which multiple development streams can have child streams. Each parent development stream supports a small team of developers that develops a specific feature. The parent development stream serves as the shared work area for the feature development. For more information about stream hierarchies, see IBM Rational ClearCase Guide to Managing Software Projects.

When you join the project, you can create your development stream under a different parent stream than the integration stream, that is, under a feature-specific development stream. This development stream, rather than the integration stream, becomes your shared work area and your parent stream for this project. Your integration view is attached to this parent stream. This stream also is the default target to which you deliver your work and the default source from which you update your work area.
