Use of the term 'Component'


Glenn Mitchell (621) | asked Oct 29 '08, 7:43 a.m.
Hi, can someone provide me with a clear response as to why the already overloaded word 'Component' has been used. It would really help me when running enablement on RTC

Many Thanks !!
Mitch,

It's overloaded but at the same time it's a term that already been used in this context in our domain. We could of used other terms (sub-project, stuff, bunch of change sets), but settle at component.

The point to re-inforce in enablement is that components are the currency of versioned file re-use in Jazz SCM. You can compose streams/workspace with components that cross projects.

Unfortunately all of the good synonyms for Component are also
overloaded. In the Jazz/RTC server world, the word Component means a
collection of exposed services and possibly a new persisted model.

And for any ClearCase UCM users, the term "component" is used in
Jazz-SCM to mean the same thing as it means in ClearCase UCM.

Many thanks for the quick response's guys!

I feel more equipped next time I get caught in a long discussion around the 'component term' in an RTC PoT!

Best regards,
Mitch,
