Verifying the update properties

The items in this list check that the update properties are set correctly for your software release. Go through each item if you have performed a verbose update and find no problems in the messages, but your project is not configured correctly.

Procedure

  1. Start the appropriate Project Grouping Properties dialog box.
    • Verify that the release is set correctly.
    • Verify that the purpose is correct.
    • Verify that the process rule is set correctly.
    • Verify that the correct baseline project is set. (Be sure that the baseline contains a version of the project you are updating.)

      This is very important! If you do not have a baseline project and the project you have is not new, your project is incomplete.

  2. Look at the tasks in the project grouping properties. Be sure that the tasks you expect are there.
    • Look at the folder properties by double-clicking the folder template. In the Folder Template Properties dialog box, click the Folder Properties tab.
    • Verify that the release is set correctly on the query for the folder, if it is a query-based folder.
  3. If the update properties are correct, look at the folder templates. (Right-click over the project grouping and choose Process Rules Properties, then click the Tasks tab.)
    • Look at the folder properties by double-clicking the folder template. In the Folder Template Properties dialog box, click the Folder Properties tab.
    • Verify that the release is set correctly on the query for the folder, if it is a query-based folder.
