To create solutions

To create solutions:

  1. Create the solution.

    Create or maintain solutions in the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session.

    This session is the central session from which you can maintain all aspects of solutions.

    The initial status of a solution after creation is In Progress.

  2. Connect software components to the solution.

    To connect software components to the solution, use the Components by Solution (ttpmc1520m000) session and the Component by Solution (ttpmc1120s000) session.

    You can also connect software components to a solution in the Connect Components to PMC Solution (ttpmc1221m000) session.

  3. Define dependencies between the solutions.

    To define dependencies between solutions, run the Dependencies (ttpmc1140m000) session.

  4. Validate the solution.

    To validate a solution, select Validate Solution on the appropriate menu in the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session. This option starts the Validate Solution (ttpmc1404s000) session. This session checks, for example, if components are available, or if components are not compiled in debug mode, and so on.

  5. Export the solution.

    To export a solution, use the Export Solution/Patch (ttpmc1200s000) session.

  6. Release the solution.

    To release a solution, you must change the Status from Exported to Released in the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session.

    You can only release a solution if the Status of the solution is Exported.

  7. Optionally, publish the solution.

    To publish a solution, select the Published check box in the Solutions (ttpmc1100m000) session.

    You can only publish a solution if the Status of the solution is Released.
