Serena Release Manager uses the projects and streams that you configure as part of the ongoing use of Dimensions CM.
Serena Release Manager uses projects in integrating products to filter lists of requests or issues to associate with Development Change Requests and to filter lists of baselines or other deployment-ready components to associate with Deployment Units. The default implementation of Serena Release Manager integrates with SBM and Dimensions CM projects.
Dimensions CM project association with Release Packages is used for the following purposes in Serena Release Manager:
To filter the development change requests available for creating the association between release packages and development change requests.
To filter the deployment units, or baselines, available for creating the association between release packages and deployment units.
What Can You Change in Release Manager?
Dimensions CM object changes are done in Dimensions CM.
What Can You Change in Dimensions CM?
You can change the following project and stream information:
Add projects and streams.
Delete projects and streams.
Modify projects and streams.
Associate components to projects and streams.
Associate projects and streams to Dimensions CM requests.
Create baselines from projects and streams.
What is the Impact?
The project and stream names appear in the project selection table in the Release Package dialog box. If you change the names or add names, this impacts the list of names the users see when they select projects or streams for a release package.
The associations with the projects and streams affect the record of change requests and the set of components to be deployed, so changes to these affect release package DCRs and DUs.
How Do You Change It?
You can change project and stream information in the Dimensions CM user clients according to the Dimensions CM documentation.
