Creating schemas from the Blank schema

If you want to create a schema that differs substantially from the predefined schemas, start by checking out and editing the Blank schema.

The Blank schema contains system fields only. These fields are required by Rational® ClearQuest® software and cannot be edited. Therefore, when you start with the Blank schema, you create a schema by adding all fields, all components of the state model, and other required objects and properties of the change management system.

To create a new schema from the Blank schema:

  1. Start the Designer.
  2. Click File > New Schema.
  3. In the New Schema window, select the Blank schema and click Next.
  4. Enter a Schema Name, Comments (optional), and click Finish.
  5. The Designer creates Version 1 of the new schema and prompts you to associate a database with the new schema.
    • To associate a database in the New Database wizard, click Yes.
    • If you do not want to associate a database, click No.
  6. The Designer prompts you to check out the new schema for editing. Click Yes to check out the schema, enter Comments (optional), and click OK.
