Hugh,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I would have to customize the HTML. Support told me a customer had done this but couldn't supply any further information.

Regards,
Terry

Hello!
I am running CS 4.2 on unix. I have customized the dev_process to have two different lifecycles. Can somebody show me how to customize CS to show the the custom lifecycle diagram I have created? I have set up CS with two DBs. When a user logs into one DB, he or she gets one lifecycle. When the user logs into the other DB, he or she gets the custom lifecycle. Right now, I get the same lifecycle diagram for both lifecycles when logging in. Support tells me there's no "built in" way of doing this.

Thanks!
Terry

As I understand it, the lifecycle diagram is just a .gif file associated with your process package (it gets served from .../trapeze/ptimages/dev_process.gif). So as you can only have one process package you can only have one diagram.

I guess if you really wanted to do this you could start customising the HTML that the product uses...

Regards

Hugh

From my experience, the presentation of a custom life-cycle flow chart diagram is a highly manual operation and requires you to deal with CS outside of the Admin GUI (would be better and less proned to errors if it were handled via the GUI).

You have to start by creating your own workflow diagram using a graphics package, such as Visio or PowerPoint, and then store the workflow graphic as a .gif file.

You then need to get onto the server where CS is installed and locate the ...\WEB-INF\package_templates directory and create your own template sub directory.

A quick way to this is to copy the existing dev_template sub directory and rename it, lets call it My_template for the time being.

Delete the My_template/wsconfig sub directory (this has config data that only works for the sample dev_process). Then replace the dev_process workflow .gif file located in My_template\trapeze\ptimages with your own gif file.

You will now need to login to CS as Admin and load up the custom CR Process for editing. Once loaded, select Edit at the CR Process level and you will notice a small text box labelled "Image". Replace whatever is in here with the file name of you .gif file.

There's still more to be - when you package up your custom CR Process, you will find that there is an option to inlcude a template with the package - My_template should appear with the choice of templates to use so select this and proceed with the package operation. Your custom life-cycle flow chart should now appear when you install the package.

It shouldn't have to be this difficult - I would encourage Telelogic to improve the Admin GUI to support such operations.
