A.2 How to Move View Profile Information to UCM

This section presents some general guidelines on how to move projects from view profiles to UCM.

Preparing Your View Profile Project

Before moving work to UCM, finish all private branches. Work on private branches cannot be moved directly to a UCM project. After work has been merged into the integration branch, create a checkpoint that labels all versions to be migrated to the UCM project.

Moving the View Profile Information

1. Convert each VOB of the view profile project into a component.

2. For each component, import the label used for the checkpoint created in Step #1. By importing a label, you are creating a new baseline for each component.

3. Create a UCM project, adding each baseline created in Step #2.

Members of the project team can now join the project, creating their own development streams and views.

For more information about creating a UCM project, see Chapter 6, Setting Up the Project.
