Working with process rules

A process rule contains patterns that define how projects are updated. A process rule also 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 uses.

Each release contains a list of process rules that are valid for that release. Use process rules to control the process for a team for a particular release, and to let teams working on different releases use different processes.Release Properties dialog box

A process rule specifies how a project updated. 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.
