Process rules and reconfigure or update templates

In Release 6.5, process rules replaced the objects previously known as update templates. The commands ccm update_template, ccm update_temp, and ccm ut from 6.4 are still available. However, they are now aliases to the preferred form of the command: ccm process_rule or ccm pr. Update your scripts to use the new form of the command.

The combination of release and purpose no longer forms a unique identifier for process rules. Therefore, the old form of reconfigure template or update template specifiers release:purpose is not used in the ccm process_rule command. You must update your scripts to use the new form of process_rule_spec. For more information, see the Rational Synergy CLI Help, Web mode.

Process rules no longer support direct task members. You must enclose all tasks with folders or folder templates. For this reason, the following command forms are no longer supported. You must remove them from your scripts:

ccm project_grouping -show individual_tasks
ccm update_template -tasks [-y] [-related] (and all its aliases)
ccm update_template -show tasks (and all its aliases)

The -copy option might no longer be used to create process rules. However, it only lets you copy over an existing process rule. It no longer accepts the -force option.

Process rules no longer have a DCM transfer option (they can always be transferred). Therefore, the following command forms are no longer supported:

ccm update_template -allow_dcm_transfer
ccm update_template -noallow_dcm_transfer
ccm update_template -show allow_dcm_transfer
