Overview of distributed change request tracking
Rational Change
Distributed is the distributed change request tracking package. A
change request is a problem or issue that is entered and tracked through
to completion by using Rational Change
Distributed.
Plan a distributed change request methodology
To use Rational Change
Distributed effectively, develop a plan for the flow of information
between databases. The plan must address the Rational Change life cycle (transitions
between states). The plan must also address the corresponding DCM
configuration management flow (hand over of control from one database
to another).
Overview of distributed change request methodologies
You can use Rational Change
Distributed in various ways to manage change requests. The following
list shows some of the possible methodologies. Your methodology might
vary from the examples discussed in these topics.
Types of DCM replication topologies
A replication topology defines whether databases replicate data directly with each other, or through intermediate hub databases. Two typical replication topologies are Point-to-Point and Hub and Spoke.
Overview of Rational Synergy and Rational Change Distributed
The topics that follow describe how using Rational Change Distributed activates the Rational Synergy Distributed
dialog boxes and extend the way that you can use Rational Change Distributed.
