Working with process rules

About this task

A process rule contains patterns that define how projects will be updated; it specifies rules for determining the baseline plus a set of tasks to be used when a project is updated.

Process rules are only a part of build management. The release and purpose combination for a project determines which process rule the project will use.

Each release contains a list of process rules that are valid for that release. Process rules let you control the process for a team for a particular release, and let teams working on different releases use different processes.

A process rule specifies how a project will update. To use a process rule, a project must have a release and purpose set. There is one active process rule for each purpose for a release.

If your site is new to Rational Synergy use, your database is set to use process rules by default.

If your site uses manual projects with Rational Synergy Classic, some existing templates might be set for projects to use manual update properties. If your team is converting to process rules during a release, follow the conversion process in Converting to process rules.
