Configuration Management Tool : Rational Statemate CM Interface

Rational Statemate CM Interface

Regardless of which CM engine and repository you use, the configuration management operations in the Rational Statemate user interface remain almost exactly the same. The intent is to make the underlying mechanism as transparent to your project members as possible.

Note: Only few operations are supported by Rational Statemate, which is not intended to serve as a full user interface for any third-party CM tool. Many operations available in third-party tools, such as comparing or merging versions, cannot be performed within Rational Statemate.

The remainder of this section provides a brief overview of the user interface to the Rational Rational Statemate built-in configuration management tool. Subsequent sections describe how to replace the built-in facility with third-party tools.
