Managing ghost change requests
Ghost CRs are non-modifiable copies of CRs with subsets of their real CR attributes, are created in the development database. This is only applicable to central server mode. Ghost CRs exist to allow CR-based Update Members queries from IBM® Rational® Synergy. When a task is associated to a CR, a ghost CR is created in all the development databases where that task is found. The ghost CR is directly related to the task to support most nested queries in those databases. A ghost CR acts as a stand-in for the real CR. IBM Rational Change automatically maintains ghost CRs so that they always reflect their corresponding real CRs. The attributes created on them can be controlled through the Rational Change Admin interface.
