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 and 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.

Before you begin

You must have the dcm_mgr or ccm_admin role available to perform this operation.

Procedure

  1. Start a CLI session.
  2. Perform the generate and transfer from the MA database to the IL database.

    ccm dcm -generate -transfer -ts "Master Transfer of hello project" -dbid IL

    The generate and transfer operations include objects that are associated with completed tasks for release hello/1.0. DCM generates and transfers a package that is automatically received in the IL database.
