How to use multiple streams (in lieu of branching) in RTC
I am very used to branching and am struggling with RTC.
As an example I am working on 2 projects (P1 and P2) whose delivery will be 3 months and 6 months from now respectively. * Lets say I have a current PROD (stream) and need to fix a bug. * After the bug fix how to make sure that P1 and P2 are updated with the latest PROD. * What happens to the the P1 and P2 streams after they are live * For a new project P3 would a new stream be created? * Does this mean there will a as many streams as projects (in CVS we created branches (Partial, Full) Thanks, Vince |

Hi Vince,
there is a lot of information in these articles: https://jazz.net/library/article/599 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/parallel-development-rational-team-concert/index.html?ca=drs- https://jazz.net/library/article/649 You can use baselines and snapshots to manage releases. You can eseentially recreate streams from them too, so you don't need to keep streams that are not needed anymore. You can also deliver or accept changes done on one stream to another. |

The easiest way to get started is to just create a stream whenever you would have created a shared branch, and create a workspace whenever you would have created a private branch.
