Definition

In configuration management, you collect the objects that are to be made available to the participants in a CEP process. As the owner of a process, you place all the objects (for instance materials, and documents) that are relevant to a particular Structure linklife-cycle phase of a specific product or project in a Structure linkconfiguration folder.

When the product or project moves to a new life-cycle phase, you create a new configuration folder (successor folder) for this phase. You can create several folders for one life-cycle phase, each representing a different version.

For detailed information, refer to the documentation on Structure linkConfiguration Management (LO-CM).

Process Flow

For the CEP process, you must carry out the following steps in configuration management in the order shown:

  1. Create a configuration folder
  2. Select structures: In this step you specify which objects or substructures are provided for local processing to the participants.
  3. Attach task descriptions: Here you describe the tasks that you require the participants to carry out in connection with the objects provided.
  4. Publish the folder: When you publish a folder, it is frozen for changes. At the same time an XML file is generated with which it is possible to send folder objects via the Internet. It is also used to save data on the participant’s PC.
  5. Notify participants: You specify the participants, define certain parameters, and sent the notifications from configuration management.

Result

The participants are informed automatically by e-mail that a configuration folder is available for processing on the Internet server, and can access it by using the URL included in the e-mail.
