Main Description

This guideline documents how the process template specifies the initialization of a new project. The project initilization activities are the following:

  • Client project area initialization
  • Server project area initialization

Client Project Area Initialization

The process template performs the following operations and participants when initializing a project area:

  • Run Assigned Work Items Query: As the initialization of the server project area creates work items for the team, the client runs a query which displays any assigned work items for the current team member.

Server Project Area Initialization

  • Set Up Project: This participant performs the actual project area initialization on the server. It creates one new team area for the project area as well as one new stream. It then creates work items like these
    • Define a new build
    • Share code with Jazz Source Control
    • Define iterations
    • Define categories for work items
    • Define team members

The initial work items are defined and can be modified in process specification. A work item specification is composed of the following fields.

  1. summary: name of the work item
  2. description: the brief descripiton of the work item
  • Set up Project for Reports: When the server ititializes the project area for EclipseWay process template, it deploys pre-defined reports to the project area. 

A report initialization is defined in the following way

  1. name: name of the report
  2. description: the brief description of the report
  3. file: the file name of the report definition
