For a database to be usable by DCM, a DCM
initialization must be performed on the database. Perform
the initialization using the Initialize DCM dialog
box or the ccm dcm -init command.
If
a database is used only as a destination, the setup is complete after
the database is initialized and DCM settings are modified. However,
if a database is used as a source (or a source and destination),
you must define the DCM database definitions and the transfer sets.
If you only replicate a subset of the projects, directories and files,
you must also create one or more transfer sets and add objects to
them. If you replicate all projects, directories and files, use the
special predefined Entire Database transfer set.
- Defining DCM database definitions
- Transfer sets can be sent only to databases that
have been defined as potential destinations. These databases can be
defined any time before starting a transfer.
- Defining the transfer sets
- A transfer set defines which objects are to be sent
from a source database. A separate transfer set can be defined for
each logical group of objects that must be transferred.
- Adding objects to the transfer sets
- After transfer sets are defined, objects are added
to them. Alternatively, you can use the special predefined Entire
Database transfer set. This transfer set implicitly includes
objects; you cannot add objects to it.
