Global Configuration Management

A global configuration assembles other configurations within and across applications. The other configurations are streams and baselines from contributing applications, such as Rational Team Concert™, Rational® Quality Manager, Rational Design Manager, Rational DOORS® Next Generation, or other global configurations.

Global configurations assemble all the relevant artifacts (requirements, designs, tests, source code, other global configurations) for a specific component release or product version. Use the assembled hierarchy to work in parallel on multiple development streams, re-create a development environment from the past, or build a hierarchical component structure of a system that you are developing, while managing versions and variants across product lines. As you navigate across the lifecycle applications, you see the appropriate artifacts and links for the global configuration you are working in.
