JAZZ DataBases
![]()
I have been wondering the reasons of why Jazz allows one database to store everything! OK you can have single CCM-QM-RM-JTS databases. . . . still one DB for CCM; one DB for RM; one DB for QM DB and one DB for JTS.
It does not make any sense in terms of:
- Fast access
- Easy backup
- Easy Refactoring
- Moving/Restoring/Backup of DB
- Balancing/Moving/Administration
I am puzzled why there is neither an option not a setting to create "individual CCM-QM-RM Project's Databases?" In one environment I administer I have seen an exponential growth, yes exponentially because I had to ask twice to have the datafile increased.
Have I missed something important in JAZZ?

they are different applications with different schema with nothing shared, and different usage models.. best to keep them separated.
what is the overhead for creating a new 'database' vs adding some more tables to the same database? nothing really. |

I agree for JTS-RM-QM but really so for CCM . . . . . . .
Only CCM in my environment accounts for more than 120GB Oracle DW_DATA table space. In ClearCase you have individual VOBs that you can move in case of refactoring, with JAZZ-CCM you are stuck!
Comments Yes, it would be nice if you could separate Source file content from workitem content.
You cannot force the developers to store only text files and leave any other types out. I agree and I would neither advise anyone nor advocate to store builds bundles in any SCM. Still you need a common version of Java/Ant/Maven. So where do you store any specific version in a safe way? In your PC? No way!
The Build Managers, for example, need to rely on a common version of Ant, Maven or other binaries and not use the ones you have into your machine. Therefore those have to come from a common place. Someone suggested once a NTFS drive . . . it has never been a reliable source (not only in this current environment, but also in past places I worked with)
I am missing ClearCase UCM features, honestly. Lots out there hated it on lack of knowledge. Once you did show them what UCM could do, well they become best pal in the end Yeh, Nexus or somesuch for binaries..
