Final 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. Define new base VRC.
    Start the Base VRCs (ttpmc0110m000) session and create a new Base VRC. In the Export VRC field, select the new project VRC.
  4. Start LN Studio and define a new application.
    Note: Take care of the following when you specify the properties of the new application in the New Application dialog box:
    • In the Release field, select the new base VRC created in the previous step.
    • If SCM is active for the new project VRC, select the Use SCM check box. If SCM is not active, clear the check box.
    • In the lower part of the dialog box, specify the appropriate packages and languages.

    See Defining an application.

  5. Start LN Studio and define a new software project.
    Note: In the Application field in the Create a Software Project dialog box, select the new application created in the previous step.

    See Defining a software project.

  6. Move activities to the new project.
    1. Log on to the project server and start the Final Code Freeze (tlprj1220m000) session.
    2. In the Source Project field, select the old project.
    3. In the Target Project field, select the new project.
    4. Select the full range of activities.
    5. Click Move. The session moves the activities to the new project.
  7. Generate new VRCs for the involved activities.
    1. Start the Code Freeze (ttadv1222m000) session.
    2. Select 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. 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.
  8. Inform the LN Studio users the code freeze is finished.
    For each activity involved, users must complete these steps:
    1. Delete the activity, including all files, from the local workspace. To do this, right-click the activity in the Activity Explorer and select Delete. A confirmation question appears. Select Also delete contents and click Yes.
    2. Open the activity again.
      Note: In the Open an Activity - Select Project dialog box, the users must first select the new software project from the list, and then select the activity.
    3. Recover the activity.
      Note: The users must select the Recover existing activity files check box in the Recover activity dialog box.
