Is RCT a good replacement for Harvest + Endeavor?

Hi Shaz,

I would say 'yes', but all depends on the specific environment and the habits of the customer. RTC is very good to keep track of versions, builds and issues (workitems). Everything is integrated. In our solution that is running in production for several customers now, we only store sourcecode in the RTC-repository. Everything that can be reproduced isn't in RTC and gets compiled on the mainframe on manual or scheduled request (standard build functionality).
http://www.asist.be/v1/solutions/documents/ASISTRBDRTCIntegration1.0.pdf contains a general description about our solution that was build to support EGL-code, but it can be adapted for any type of source-code.

My client is using Harvest and Endeavor as SCMs for non-Mainframe and Mainframe code. I would like to propose RTC but the question is whether RTC will remove the need for keeping two separate SCMs (Harvest and Endeavor).

Any expert advice will be really appreciated.

In most cases, I would say "yes".
Unlike Harvest (which does not run on mainframes) and Endeavor (which
only runs on mainframes), RTC is designed to run natively on both
mainframes and non-mainframes (allowing you to decide where you want
your server to run, and then allowing both mainframe and non-mainframe
clients to talk to that same common server).

Cheers,
Geoff
