Making Fields Eligible for Override

To override plugin configuration field values in an item or project using a Configuration Override auxiliary table entry, the fields must be eligible for override.

Important: The Release Control Administration options can be performed only by users with Managed Administrator privileges.

To select overrides for a configuration:

  1. In your Web browser, enter the URL for Release Control Administration. For example:

    http://serverName/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?StdPage&Template=rlc/admin

    Tip: The link for your installation is in SBM Configurator on the Release Control page.
  2. In the Configurations tab, select a plugin configuration at the level you want to allow overrides, either base or configuration level.

    If you allow configuration overrides on the base level, the child action or item configurations inherit these settings. You can also allow overrides on the child level even if they were already set in the base configuration. If you remove an override selection from the base in this case, it will still be allowed on the child level.

  3. In the Details tab, select Overrides from the drop-down.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Select the fields you want to make eligible for override and click Save.
Note: If you allow overrides at the configuration for an actions configuration but not at the item configuration level, there may be situations where your deployment task cannot be overridden completely due to the associations of items. In this case, it is better to override at the base level so that it encompasses the related actions and item configurations.
