You can intialize a database from the GUI.
Procedure
- In the database you are intializing, define
the release value and allow DCM transfers. If you are initializing
more than one database, do not define these releases in the other
databases.
- In the database you are intializing, ensure
that a released baseline has been created for the current release
and includes the current project. For example, if you have a current
release called hello/1.0, be sure it includes all relevant projects.
- Initialize any other database to the database
you are intializing. Use the DCM Initialization dialog
box to set the database ID to the name of the database you are intializing,
and the DCM delimiter to "#".
- In the database you are intializing, copy
the previous release to the new release, selecting the Distributed process
for the new release. Ensure that the new release is allowed DCM transfer.
If the new release was already defined before the database was DCM
initialized, then use the Properties dialog box
to show the properties of the new release. On the Process Rules tab,
click Add to add the generic process rules
from the Distributed process.
