About remote deliver operations and the UCM integration with Rational ClearQuest (MultiSite)
In a project that uses the UCM integration with Rational® ClearQuest®, the project manager may set the Transition to Complete After Delivery policy on a project. This policy transitions activities in an associated Rational ClearQuest user database to a Complete state when the deliver operation completes successfully. For this policy to work in a MultiSite environment, all activities being delivered must be mastered by the same PVOB replica that masters the target stream.
In a MultiSite environment that uses the UCM integration with Rational ClearQuest, the project manager sets the Transfer ClearQuest Mastership Before Delivery policy on a project to have the software change the mastership of all activities being delivered. If the deliver operation is local and all activities being delivered are not mastered locally, the deliver operation fails.
For a remote deliver operation, the Transfer ClearQuest Mastership Before Delivery policy causes the following behavior:
- If all activities are mastered by the remote replica, the deliver operation proceeds.
- If the deliver operation contains activities that are mastered by the local
replica, MultiSite transfers mastership of
those activities to the remote replica. The project integrator at the remote site completes the
deliver operation.
If the project manager sets the Transfer ClearQuest Mastership After Delivery on the project, MultiSite transfers mastership of the activities back to the local replica.
- If the deliver operations contains activities that are mastered by a third replica, the deliver operation fails.
