Performing periodic master-to-satellite transfers

After MA receives transfers from the satellites, you must update the master project hello-MasterInt. During this operation, the All Completed Tasks for Release hello/2.0 from database MA folder is re-evaluated. All the completed tasks that were transferred from the satellite, as well as the local completed tasks, are added to the folder through the folder query.

You then complete testing on hello-MasterInt and update your Master Integration Tested Tasks for Release hello/2.0 folder by copying all the tasks from the All Completed Tasks for Release hello/2.0 folder into it.

After this operation, the DCM manager sends the updated master integration tested tasks folder to the satellite using the Master Transfer of hello Project transfer set.

If you were sending data to more than one satellite, you would regenerate the transfer package for each satellite. When a transfer package is regenerated before it is sent to a database, DCM generates and sends only the objects that have changed or become new members of the transfer set since the transfer package was last sent to that database.

You periodically send the updated Master Integration Tested Tasks for Release hello/2.0 folder to each satellite. This operation is typically done each time the master integration test is successfully completed.

Use the Generate dialog to generate, send, and receive each transfer package, or each database:

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. Select 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 finished, IL automatically receives the transfer set. At that point, IL has the latest integration-tested tasks of the master and can configure them into the hello-IL#Int:project:MA#1 prep project.
