process_rule command

A process rule specifies how a baseline is chosen for the update properties for a project grouping and project. Use this command to display and set process rules.

Process rules support these selection modes:

A process rule specifies how a project is updated when an update operation is performed on the project. The combination of a project purpose and release value determines which process rule can be used in the project. Multiple process rules can be created for a release/purpose pair. Set up rules, and then select rules to apply to a release and purpose, and switch among the set of process rules during a release. You can also reuse process rules for future releases, rather than continually modifying the process rule for each purpose.

Process rules are automatically created whenever one of the following occurs.

General process rules are shipped with the product for both standard and distributed processes. A non-DCM-initialized database contains the standard process, and a DCM-initialized database contains both the standard and the distributed processes. The process rules have the same behavior in each, with these exceptions:

The standard process is used to provide process rules in the CLI when a purpose is specified.

You can specify which process rules to use when you create a release. For more information, see the release command.

The process_rule command supports these subcommands.
