Releasing the software

About this task

As soon as your application has passed system testing, you are ready to release the baseline and all objects.

If you have already created a baseline, you can release it. If you need to, see Creating a baseline to do so now. The following step shows you how to release a baseline.

Additionally, you can rename the baseline or change the versions of the projects and products in the baseline, as you did when you published the baseline. You can perform these operations together from the CLI only.

Procedure

  1. Start Rational Synergy from the command prompt.

    ccm start -h engine_host -d database_path -nogui

    After the session starts, the Rational Synergy address (CCM_ADDR) is printed in your command window (Windows) or in the shell where you started the session (UNIX).

  2. Set your role to build_mgr.

    ccm set role build_mgr

  3. Optionally change the name of the baseline or the versions on its projects.

    Changing the version to a meaningful name is a good visual cue to reflect the purpose of the project. (See the discussion of version templates in step 2 in Publishing a baseline to developers.)

    Additionally, you can use the baseline name to reflect the purpose of a release. Note that you can modify the baseline name after you create it.

    ccm baseline -modify "7.1 Turn 10" -name "7.1 General Release" -versions
    -vt "%{platform:-}%{platform:+_}%{release}_GR"

  4. Release the baseline.

    ccm baseline -release_baseline "7.1 General Release"
