Overview

The following commands are specific to the Objecteering CM Synergy MDAC.

The command ...	is used to ...
Delete and replace	destroy the latest version of the object and import the previous version.
Create task	create a task and assign it to the developer.
Select default task	define the default task.
Check-in task	check-in the default task.
History	show the history of an object.

The "Delete and replace" command

This command is used to destroy the latest version of the object in CM Synergy, and then to import the previous version into the Objecteering project. This command only applies to elements in check-out.

Note: The element is not deleted from the CM Synergy database. CM Synergy must be configured, so that it can suggest a candidate.

For further information on the "delete and replace" operation in CM Synergy, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm delete -replace" command.

The "Create task" command

This command is used to create a task and to assign it to the developer. The synopsis and release of the task must be entered, in order for the task to be created.

Figure 117. Creating a task

Steps:

1. Enter the task synopsis.

2. Enter the release.

3. Confirm.

For further information, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm task -create" and "ccm task -assign" commands.

The "Select default task" command

This command is used to define the default task. For your information, the default task can be visualized during the configuration of the Objecteering CM Synergy MDAC.

The default task may be reinitialized, by selecting the "None" task.

Note: The "Check-in", "Check-out", "Delete and replace" and "Check-in task" commands can only be run if a default task has been defined.

For further information, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm task -default" command.

Figure 118. Selecting a default task

Steps:

1. Select the task.

2. Confirm.

Note: By selecting "None", you can clear the default task.

The "Check-in task" command

This command is used to check-in the default task in CM Synergy.

For more information, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm task -ci" command.

The "History" command

This command is used to show the history of an element.

If the CM Synergy session has been opened in GUI mode, the CM synergy history dialog will be opened.

Note: The CM Synergy history window may be opened behind the Objecteering window.

If the CM Synergy session has been opened in text mode, an Objecteering dialog box will show the result of the "ccm history" command.

For more information, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm history" command.

The "Properties" command

This command is used to show the CM Synergy properties of an element.

If the CM Synergy session has been opened in GUI mode, the CM Synergy properties dialog will be opened.

Note: The CM Synergy window may be opened behind the Objecteering window.

If the CM Synergy session has been opened in text mode, an Objecteering dialog box will show the result of the "ccm properties" command.

For more information, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm properties" command.

The "Check-out" command

This command is used to carry out the check-out of the current element in CM Synergy and to import the element to the Objecteering project. In hierarchical mode, the components of the element are also put in check-out state and imported.

It is not possible to carry out a check-out operation if another user is also running a check-out or an import operation in "shared" mode.

For more information on the check-out operation in CM Synergy, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm checkout" command.

The "Import from repository" command

For more information, please see "Commands available on elements in read only mode".

The "Check-in" command

This command is used to export the current element into the repository and to carry out the check-in of this element in CM Synergy. In hierarchical mode, the components of the element are also put in check-in. The advantage of this command is that an element may be exported into the repository, so that it is available to other users.

For more information on the check-in operation in CM Synergy, please refer to the CM Synergy "ccm checkin" command.

Miscellaneous

Files placed in configuration management represent modeling elements. The names of these files correspond to the identifiers of the elements in question. For the build manager, it is, therefore, difficult to spot a modeling element simply from these file names.

For this reason, the "Check-in" and "Check-out" commands are used with the name of the modeling element concerned as a comment.

By displaying "%comment" in the CM Synergy interface, it is possible to see Objecteering modeling elements.
