The topics that follow describe how using DCS will activate
the Rational Synergy Distributed dialog boxes and extend the way that
you can use DCS.
Synergy dialog boxes
DCS extends the functionality of Rational SynergyTransfer Set and Task dialog boxes for a given DCM database. Depending on the dialog box, DCS works in the following ways.
Problem scope and query
DCS extends transfer set definitions to include a problem scope and a problem query. These definitions let the transfer set automatically include change requests that are based on a query.
DCM initialization
When a database is initialized to use DCM, DCS extends initialization so that all change request and task objects that have created_in and local_to
attributes also have a modifiable_in attribute whose initial value is the current DCM database ID (dbid). Moreover, when you create change requests or tasks in such a database, you also set the modifiable_in attribute.
Remote resolvers and email triggers
You can choose a resolver who is not an authorized user of the local database. You can do this because DCS extends the user list to include a user-definable set of names from extusers.dft.
