By Ray Ricketts - January 10, 20132 Answers

I am having a devil of a time trying to locate the process to add users and amend permissions in ClearCase windows. It has been a while since I have done it and I can't seem to find anything in the Admin Manual that tells me how to do this. I am sure that you guys have the answer.

Need help with AccuRev Promote
By New Name - December 17, 20122 Answers

I am trying to set up a automated promote from a non workspace stream to its parent on a daily basis. What is recommended?

1. To create an xml and use promote?

2. To directly promote everything from pending?

What difference it would make if we use xml's?

Note: We have change package trigger on. My plan is to promote all pending issues.

Thank you.

How do I add the LOAD module to Endevor with alias?
By mthomas07 - October 25, 20121 Answer

I need to be able to add the LOAD Module (no source) to Endevor that have alias. The vendor load library has many loads with alias, and I can't figure out how to ADD them to Endevor.

My GLOD processor works perfectly for those modules without ALIAS, but the one with ALIAS fail with error like the following:
C1X0511I COPY O=OTDD1,I=INDD1
C1X0511I SELECT MEMBER=((CIMSCMFP,CIMSCMFP,R))
C1X0511I INDD1 = FLDXCBN.TDSUAM.LOADMODS
C1X0511I OTDD1 = FNNDVRN.PROD.RESCUE.SCIMS.LOADMODS
C1X0506E ROOT MODULE DRLCCMFP NOT SELECTED WITH ALIAS CIMSCMFP

Any ideas?

Does anyone have an example of an Agile Configuration Management Plan?
By John Lumb - October 25, 20122 Answers

This can be either adapted from a more "conventional" CM plan or written entirely from scratch. This question may be answered somewhere else in the Agile Forum and, if so, I would appreciate anyone sending me where such a plan may be found.

Does anyone have estimation metrics for configuration management and data management?
By skershaw - October 11, 20121 Answer

I do a lot of estimations for projects involving configuration management and data management. One of the requirements these days is that you make estimates based on historical actuals or metrics derived from same.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a highly correlatable metric that will definitively provide an estimate that will result in a fairly accurate bid (when compared to the conclusion of execution). I recognize that such things are highly variable, and a lot of items can impact getting a good metric.

I would be interested in knowing if anyone out there has a metric that can be shared in this public forum that has a high degree of correlation to actual hours experienced. Some of the metrics I've seen are:

% of software design/code/integration hours (% of DCI)
hours/month
hours/release
hours/change request
% of Lines of Code

none of which - to my satisfaction - yeild a definitive answer.
