Note: 310 is the name of the defect that was opened for the problem, so this is how Alex wants to identify the work area. Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc workarea -create -name 310 -release robot_control Result TeamConnection creates a work area named 310 associat...

From the GUI, he: 1. Selects Parts → Check out from the Actions pull-down menu on the Tasks window. 2.

He does not select the PartFull choice because he wants to limit his search to aparticular release and work area. He uses PartFull when he wants to search forparts across releases, components, or work areas. 2. Types the following in the Parts Filter window: v robot_control in the Release field v 31...

This command returns a list of all the parts that match the query. After Alex determineswhich part he wants to check out, he issues the following command: teamc part -checkout optics.c -release robot_control -workarea 310 Result A copy of the part optics.c is checked out from TeamConnection and plac...

Thus, work area 310 contains the following parts: brain.c leg.c brain.obj leg.obj brain.exe foot.c arm.c foot.obj arm.obj optics.c (modification 1) hand.c optics.obj hand.obj Work area 310 continues to contain the unchanged parts from the requested releaseview, but now the work area is overlaid with...

Note: For a detailed build example, see “Chapter 15. Building an application: an example” on page 181. Extracting a part Next, Alex tests his modifications in the robot prototype in his office. He extracts theexecutable part from the work area 310. GUI From the GUI, he: 1. Selects Parts → Extract fr...

This action places a copy of the part brain.exe in the current directory. Checking out the part one more time Alex then downloads brain.exe to his robot, runs his test, and determines that themodification did not work: the robot slams into the wall. However, Alex thinks he knowswhat the problem is, ...

Checking the part back in Alex makes his modification and checks the part in. GUI From the GUI, he: 1. Does one of the following to display the Check In Parts window: v Selects Parts → Check in from the Actions pull-down menu on the Tasks window. v Selects the entry on his Tasks window that displays...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc workarea -freeze 310 -release robot_control Result The freeze command saves the work area 310. Thus, TeamConnection takes asnapshot of the work area, with all its parts and their visible versions, and saves it. Alexcan come back to ...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc workarea -refresh 310 -release robot_control Result This action updates work area 310 with any changes from the release, and it alsofreezes work area 310, if it is not already frozen. Now Alex’s work area contains thefollowing versi...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc part -build brain.exe -release robot_control -workarea 310 -pool normal Result Fortunately, nothing breaks, so Alex is ready to integrate his changes with the release. Integrating the work area To integrate his changes with the rele...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc workarea -integrate 310 -release robot_control Result TeamConnection first determines that Alex’s changes were built against the latestversion of the release. Then TeamConnection makes Alex’s changes visible at therelease level so t...

From the GUI, he: 1. Selects Defects → Verify from the Actions pull-down menu on the Tasks window. The Verify Defects window appears. 2. Types 310 in the Defects field. 3. Selects OK.

From a command line, she issues the following command: teamc workarea -refresh 415 -release robot_control Result This command refreshes her work area with the latest view of the release. Her workarea now contains the following part versions: brain.c (Jenny's modification 3) brain.obj (Jenny's modifi...

Command From a command line, she issues the following command: teamc workarea -integrate 415 -release robot_control Result Because Jenny is up-to-date with the latest view of the driver, her changes areintegrated after TeamConnection preserves a copy of the previous version of therelease. Reconcilin...

Alex can use either the GUI or the command line to reconcile the differences. Foursteps are required from the command line: 1. Check out the latest uncommitted version. 2. Extract the latest committed version. 3. Run the merge program against the two parts. 4. Check in the resultant part. However, o...

Command From a command line, he does the following steps: v Issues a report command to determine which parts are in conflict: teamc report -view collisionView -workarea 310 This report tells him that optics.c is the part that collided and gives the alternate version ID of the part that caused the co...

Changing defect ownership Because Carol is the component owner, she is currently defined as the owner of defect456. But the problem is in Alex’s code, so she wants him to own the defect. To reassignownership, she does one of the following: GUI From the GUI, she: 1. Selects Defects → Modify → Owner f...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc defect -accept 456 -answer program_defect Results Defect 456 moves to working state, and TeamConnection creates a work area called456. The work area is associated with the release specified on the sizing record, whichin this example...

Command From a command line, he issues the following command: teamc part -checkout optics.c -release robot_control -workarea 456 -relative d:\robot\src Results A copy of the part optics.c is checked out from TeamConnection and placed in thedirectory d:\robot\src. If the directory name is not specifi...

Note: Alex follows these steps because he knows the exact name of the part that he is checking in. If he does not know the name, or if he is checking in many parts, hecan instead do one of the following to display a list of parts: v Select the entry on his Tasks window that displays the list of part...

Note, however, that a freeze action does not make the changes visible to the otherpeople working in the release. This does not occur until the work area is integrated. Building the application Alex now builds the application to verify that the changes he has made have fixed theproblem. He does one o...

Alex builds the application and tests the results. The modification seems to solve theproblem. Note: For a detailed build example, see “Chapter 15. Building an application: an example” on page 181.

Build servers are started by a TeamConnection administrator. For more information, see“Chapter 11. Installing, starting, and stopping build servers” on page 137.

Build script An object that a builder uses in transforming inputs to outputs; it is essentiallya binding between TeamConnection and a transformation tool, such as a linkeror compiler. In OS/2, Windows, UNIX, or MVS/OE environments, a build scriptis usually a command file, but it can be a string that...

Though parent-child relationships usually imply that the parent part generates the childpart, in a TeamConnection build it is the opposite. Because TeamConnection places thebuild output at the top of the tree, it refers to the build output as the parent and to thebuild input as the child. To underst...

Working with a build tree Software developers must provide the information by which TeamConnectiondetermines the build events that make up a build request. An application’s build treeshows this information graphically. Figure 44. Sample build object model for msgcat.exe Chapter 10. Basic build conce...

3. Writes out the list of such files into the dependency list file For example, for a C source file, the program could report a list of all the files includedby the source file (using #include statements). For a COBOL program, COPY statements would be the cue. TeamConnection ships a sample of a comm...

After you attach a parser to a part, it is ready for action. The next time the part ischecked in, when a part is created, or when the parser is attached, the parser willinvoke its command file, which will report back a list of dependencies. Using a parser does not keep you from defining dependencies...
