Performing the initial transfer to the satellite

You will need to send the master hello project and associated data to each satellite before you can create an integration testing project in the satellites. This topic describes how to generate, send, and receive the initial transfer package using the Generate dialog.

Before you begin

This action requires the dcm_mgr role. DCM performs dynamic role switching for this operation and all other DCM operations.

Procedure

  1. Choose the generate options.
    • Select the IL destination database and the Master Transfer of hello Project transfer set.
  2. Click the Preview button, and verify that the correct objects are in the transfer list (optional).
  3. Generate the transfer package.
    • This operation generates, transfers, and initiates the automatic receive of the transfer package.

      When the generate and send operations are completed, IL automatically receives the transfer set. IL then has a copy of the baseline, a copy of the hello-1.0 project, and copies of the All completed tasks for release hello/2.0 folder and the All completed tasks for hello/2.0 from database MA folder.

Results

The IL database also has the process rules for the hello/2.0 release, and release definitions for hello/1.0 and hello/2.0. These process rules were included in the transfer package. You can check these using the Browse Reconfigure Templates and Browse Releases dialog boxes.

The IL database also sets up a skeleton DCM database definition for MA. You can check this using the Browse DCM Database Definitions dialog box.
