Newbie to RTC - Need help setting up source control


Kim Carson (151) | asked Mar 02 '11, 4:34 p.m.
I am new to RTC and am in the process of setting up projects, profiles, and source control. I have gone through many tutorials and videos but still seem to be missing some crucial information. I believe I have the projects setup correctly. As for the users I am a little confused on the different types of role and permissions. I am also still unable to figure out how to upload/import source into the projects.

Are you planning to import the source codebase with history? Or just the latest baseline(the simple and straightforward mechanism)?

Source code with history:

1)Migrate from your existing tool to SVN
2)Use the "SVN Import" functionality of RTC and push the codebase to RTC

Hth.!

You can upload/import source with the RTC Eclipse client, the RTC Visual
Studio client, or the RTC scm command line.

For example, with the Eclipse client, you would use the standard Eclipse
gestures (i.e., go to the Package Explorer view, right click on the
project you want to put under source control, select the "Team ->
Share_Project..." operation, and select RTC as your source control provider.

As for the users and roles, the easiest is probably to start with a
common process template like the Scrum process template. Then read up
on one of the many summaries of the Scrum process to find out what the
roles are (the names of the roles might be enough for you to know who
should get what role).

Cheers,
Geoff
