Setting up the master

The master database is called MA. This topic shows how to set up the MA database.

Before you begin

Projects must use process rules (update templates) by default. If process rules are not used, the appropriate folders need to be manually created and added.

Procedure

  1. Create the master integration project.
    • A master integration project is needed in order to combine integration builds for the completed tasks of the two databases. Check out the master integration prep project from hello-1.0. Set the version to MasterInt and select Master Integration from the Purpose list in the Check Out Project dialog. Set the release value to hello/2.0. The new project is hello-MasterInt.
    • The update properties for the new project are automatically set up using the process rules.
  2. Create the MA local integration project.
    • One local integration testing project is needed for the MA local integration builds. Check out the MA integration prep project from the hello-1.0 project. Set the version to MAInt, and select Integration Testing from the Purpose list in the Check Out Project dialog. Set the release value to hello/2.0. The new project is hello-MAInt.
    • The update properties for the new project are automatically set up using the process rules.
  3. Create the DCM database definition for IL.
    • Use the Create DCM database Definition dialog to add the destination database ID (IL), its description, and its properties. Choose Remote Copy as the transfer mode, and select the Automatic Receive check box.
  4. Create the master-to-satellite transfer set.
    1. Set the transfer set properties.

      Use the Create Transfer Set dialog to name the transfer set (Master Transfer of hello Project), and set the email address for generate and receive notification. Ensure that the Release Scopes is set to Releases and Templates. Check that the transfer set exclusions do not exclude DCM database definitions.

    2. Choose Admin > Browse Baselines to open the Browse Baselines dialog. Click DCM Properties, then add the released baseline for the previous release, hello-1.0 to the transfer set. This operation automatically includes the hello-1.0 project and its members.
    3. Add folders to the transfer set.

      Choose Tools > Folder > Browse to open the Browse Folders dialog. Click DCM Properties, then add the All completed tasks for release hello-2.0 folder and the Master Integration Tested Tasks for hello-2.0 folder to the transfer set. This operation automatically includes all completed changes from all databases and the master integration tested tasks for hello-2.0.

      It is not necessary to add the master project to the transfer set. All the tasks and their associated source changes are replicated through the folders that are members of the transfer set.
