EA in a Team

[OneCent]

Hi

Are there any "best practice" to use EA in a Team?

When are you using the database repository and when a "normal" version control? Or both?

Any hit or link to a document is very welcome  

Cheers, OneCent

Try the deployment whitepaper.

Despit the link to that docuementabove, I'd ask people to comment on how they do actually deploy EA in teams. That document itself is  rather open-ended and leave a lot of options.

The recommendations (from that paper) is that with > 10 users, use a database repository. We have repositories at multiple sites, and then we use version control in addition to transfer changes between the sites.

So I suppose that each site has direct access to the version control repository ?
I am asking, because if you use a distributed approach with eg. several ClearCase servers at the multiple sites then it would be a question of how often the replication takes place between those which is not so convenient if a concurrent working (and real time working) is required.

We also use ClearCase Multisite, and it is a real hazzle. You either need to transfer mastership, or design a model where packages are allocated to different sites. If you can, try to use a ClearCase setup without Multisite, or another version control system.
