What is Work Item Promotion ?
I saw a term called Work Item Promotion. So what is Work Item Promotion ? and Why do we do work item promotion ?. I went through jazz pages but it made too complex for me to understand. So anyone can explain me what is it in a easy way |

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER First of all, this feature is an "Enterprise Extension", which means it is only for mainframes like the IBM Z series machine.
On mainframes, for various reasons, it is common practice to "promote" derived files (files like object code and binaries built by a build tool), rather than just rebuild them (which is what is done in most/all builds for non-mainframe systems).
What work item promotion does is let you "promote" the derived files that are associated with the change sets that are linked to a given work item.
If you are a mainframe user, this will probably be obvious, and if you are not, you probably have no idea what this is talking about (:-).
