UML diagramm for RTC


Ulrich Eckhardt (23612223) | asked Sep 21 '11, 3:46 a.m.
Hi!

I'm wondering if there is some UML or similar diagram for RTC or at least its version control parts. For example, something similar to the diagrams in http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/jazz-source-control-management/index.html, which aren't really sufficient.

That diagram may also help.

Are you looking for clarification on certain parts about source control?

No, just the general info. It was my experience during training that the actual meaning and relation of different object types was unclear, and a UML diagram would have illustrated things.

Simple example: What is the relation between a changeset and a work item? If you know that there is a bidirectional relation and that each can reference 0...n of the other, you would immediately understand that there is no ownership involved in any direction. Instead, both changesets and work items only reference each other, but deleting either doesn't delete the other.

I hope this example is correct, please speak up if not! I'm more or less a beginner to RTC, too, so this only represents my understanding at the time.

Cheers!

I agree that your example illustrates why such a formal diagram is of
great value. And for your specific example, yes, both directions of
that relation are 0..n, and there is no ownership involved in either
direction.

Until that comprehensive diagram has been produced, please feel free to
post specific questions to the forum, and you should get reasonably
rapid responses.

Cheers,
Geoff
