I would like to implement a scheme where change requests are not identified by only a number, but by a custom string and then a number, something like project-(dash)#(problem_number). Since the problem_number attribute seems to automatically increment by synergy, can I add a prefix to it, or create another attribute and append the number to that? If we put each project in its own database, they would each have the identifier project-number, this way numbers can be continuous for each project and yet we can have duplicate numbers distinguised by project. |

My approach to this is to have a separate database for each project.
Each database is DCM-enabled. The DCM Identifier then identifies the project in the CR ID. We use upper-case for DCM Ids, and abbreviate the project name. Thus, for example, "UK Sales Ledger" project might have DCM id "UKSL" and CR 123 would be displayed as "UKSL#123". If you want to distinguish between projects in a database, then I believe that you cannot do anything about the standard display of the CR ID. The following is outline of an approach: 1. Define a list attribute that identifies the project. 2. Make selection of this mandatory on creation page. 3. Define another attribute to hold the [project]-[number] text. 4. Use a Perl trigger on creation to set the attribute at 3 to the required value. Edited: 8-Mar-2007 at 17:36 by michael Barnes |

Thank you Mike, sounds like two great ideas that I will look further into. What is DCM and how is it enabled? Also how would I set the DCM ID?
Thanks, Brian |

DCM = Distributed CM.
This is the Synergy mechanism for making objects visible and usable in other databases. The "SYNERGY/Distributed CM" manual, downloadable from the website (under Product information/Documentation) should tell you all you need to know. |
