Using Synchronizer / Change History & Comments
Caveat: I know (almost) nothing about RTC & Jazz.
Our new group is considering standing up RTC, and will need to do something like the following: Connect Synchronizer to main/latest on a remote CC server ("A") in order to propagate changes from A into a branch ("B") that is sitting inside our new local RTC server. We would then selectively choose changed files in B to propagate into a working RTC branch ("C"). So, A is the remote CC main / latest; B is our local mirror of A, and C is our current release working branch. Here's the question: if we do all this, will the change history, including comments, who changed, etc., of changes made in A make it all the way to C for file changes we choose to propagate from B in to C? Thanks in advance! |

No, only very limited meta-data is transferred by the synchronizer (in
particular, the list of UCM activity ID's, if you are using UCM). You can request that the comment be brought over, but that will just be the comment on the most recent version in ClearCase, not the comments on all the versions between the version last sync'ed and the version currently sync'ed. To find that detailed change history information, you would have to go back to the original repository where the change was made (in this example, ClearCase).

Thanks, Geoff. Would it be possible to configure the Synchronizer to propagate all changes from CC main/latest so that there are no versions that are missed? If we did this, would we see all CC changes & their comments in the "mirror" copy in RTC?

No, you cannot use the synchronizer to propagate all changes. In
particular, the namespace versioning models of RTC and ClearCase are different, so there is no automated mapping from directory versions in ClearCase to the corresponding objects in RTC. What you can do is import a full configuration (which is what the synchronizer lets you do, where a full configuration is specified by a baseline or a label).
