Intermediate code freeze procedure

  1. Create new project VRC.
    Start the Package VRCs (ttadv1511m000) session and create a new project VRC. Then, start the Directories of Software Components (ttadv1115m000) session and specify the directories to store the software components of the new VRC.
  2. If SCM is active for the old project VRC, activate SCM for the new project VRC.
    1. Start the (De)activate SCM and Component Management by Package VRC (ttscm0501m000) session. The session shows a list of VRCs.
    2. Select the project VRC. On the appropriate menu, select Activate SCM (and CM). The Activate SCM and Component Management by Package VRC (ttscm0110s000) session starts.
    3. Select the new SCM VRC and click OK.
    See "To use the Software Configuration Management system (SCM)" in the LN Web Help.
  3. Generate new VRCs for the involved activities.
    1. Start the Code Freeze (ttadv1222m000) session.
    2. Clear the Final Code Freeze check box.
    3. In the Source VRC field, select the old project VRC.
    4. In the Target VRC field, select the new project VRC.
    5. Select the full range of activities.
    6. Select the Update Export VRC in Base VRC's check box, so the new project VRC becomes the export VRC of the application's base VRC.
      If this check box is cleared, you must use the Base VRC's (ttpmc0110m000) session to assign the new project VRC as the export VRC.
      Note:  LN Studio users must not recover their activities before the new project VRC is assigned as the export VRC.
    7. Click Move. The session performs these actions:
      • Creates new activity VRCs, derived from the new project VRC.
      • Creates, if SCM is active, new private VRCs derived from the new activity VRCs.
      • Moves components from the old activity and private VRCs to these new VRCs.
      • Removes the old activity and private VRCs.
  4. Inform the LN Studio users the code freeze is finished.
    The users must recover their workspace.
    • Note:  This recovery must be performed after the new project VRC is assigned as the export VRC for the application's base VRC. See step 3 in this procedure.
    • The users must select the Recover existing activity files check box in the Recover activity dialog box.
