Roundtable TSMS

What is it?

Roundtable is a team-oriented extension for the OpenEdge Studio and OpenEdge

Architect development environments that provides Software Configuration

Management and developer productivity tools.


Why SCM?

Why do I need SCM?

Identification• Development life-cycle

• Logically organize application components

Control• Who can change what and where?

• Life-cycle workflow

History• Who did what, when, and why?

• What did they change?


Why SCM?

"Software Configuration Management is the heartbeat of any serious software development effort. One would not start mass producing a car without first building a factory and defining the production line. SCM is THE factory for software development. It is the discipline, based on the principles of the manufacturing industry that brings repeatable, high-quality production to your software applications".

Task Management

Using Task Share-Status

Share-Status determines visibility of changes• Central Share

• Task Share

• Group Share

• Public Share

Developer decides when to share changes Developer controls impact on baseline


Using Task Groups

Advantages of Task Groups

Share changes with no baseline impact Test changes in real-world environment Task Group can contain multiple tasks Tasks can belong to multiple Task Groups


Task Groups

//server/group1//server/group1

//server/group2//server/group2
