Does Rational Team Concert support MultiSite?

Does Rational Team Concert support MultiSite? I was asked this question by a customer recently, and I realized that many customers who are familiar with Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest may be asking similar questions. ClearCase and ClearQuest have MultiSite features that enhance the base products to support teams distributed across a Wide Area Network. […]

Translating ClearCase and ClearQuest terminology to Jazz

I recently spent time in Korea helping our customers understand Jazz Extensions and OSLC.  Many of the questions came from people who are very familiar with Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest.  As we discussed Jazz and Rational Team Concert, they kept trying to tie the Rational Team Concert concepts back to the concepts and terminology that […]

Patterns for read-protecting source code

Rational Team Concert 2.0 includes project level read permissions, which allow for read-protecting artifacts in a project area. Read access control applies to all artifacts in the project and all its sub-teams. The simplest usage of this feature is to mark a project as read-protected and then carefully control the membership of this new protected […]

Forum post: RTC versus Jira/SVN/CruiseControl

In the jazz.net forums Roman Smirak posted the contents of a blog entry he wrote for his company. In the posting Roman provides his personal views and opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of using Rational Team Concert, and he relates this to other tools he has used. See his forum post here: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4383 We’ve known […]

How scalable are repository workspaces?

I was chatting with users of a rather large Rational Team Concert deployment today and they asked a very common question, “what is the footprint overhead of having repository workspaces?”. The easy answer is, don’t worry about it because disk space is cheap. But in reality, we do care about it, a lot. Imagine what […]

Finding your changes – using releases, builds, and snapshots

It has been a busy fall and winter for the Rational Team Concert (RTC) development teams. We shipped 1.0.1 in October, followed by 1.0.1.1 in February, and we are working on 2.0. It’s probably not uncommon to have many releases on the “go” at the same time, but I must admit that it has been […]

User Interface Q4U : How do you use the Source Control Flow Editor?

You might be wondering why such silence from the Jazz Team Blog. In addition to enjoying a little down time this summer, the team has been fixing bugs for 1.0.1 and ramping up for our next major release by doing planning and explorations. One of the many areas that is getting attention is the Source […]

Keeping a weekly rhythm

Tags: ,

Chris Daly’s entry “Some Notes on Rhythm” provides a good high-level overview of how the Jazz Project establishes a “rhythm” to make consistent and predictable progress over the course of project milestones and release cycles. In this entry I’d like to drill-down to show how we use our tools to keep a rhythm for day-to-day […]

Fixing a bug in a previous release

Tags: ,

Every existing SCM tool allows you to fix a bug in a previous release. But the reality is that most SCM tools focus primarily on allowing you to change the code whereas there is more to fixing a bug than simply making the code changes. It turns out that even with simple projects there are […]
