GUI operation

You can intialize a database from the GUI.

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 "#".
  4. 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.
