The following features provide robust, automated support
for change tracking.
Change requests, tasks, and controlled objects
IBM Rational Change tracks requests for changes
using change requests (CRs). A change request is a database object
that describes a change, including what the change is and who made
the request.
Multiple interfaces
The product includes three interfaces: Admin, User, and
ReportBuilder.
Query and reporting features
You can generate reports on change requests or tasks using
either predefined reports or your choice of query and report formats.
You can define custom reports and share reports with others.
Home pages
You can define a custom home page that you see each time
you log on to IBM Rational Change. Using a custom home page,
you can view the information you need most.
Read/write security (ACLs)
Read/write security features work with lifecycle and project
security. You can define read and write access to change requests,
tasks, and objects based on the group membership of a user.
Project security
Project security is an alternative to traditional database
security. Instead of assigning users static privileges
that apply to all CRs and tasks within a particular database, users
are assigned dynamic privileges within the context
of a set of related CRs.
Customizations
Each site has unique change tracking requirements. You
can change lifecycles and forms and create custom reports to meet
your organizational needs.
Installation options
IBM Rational Change has two configurations:
central server and stand-alone.
