Telelogic Synergy and ChangeIntegrated Change & Configuration Management System

Integrated Synergy Repository

Telelogic ChangeCapture, manage and

communicate requests for change.

Telelogic SynergyControl, secure and distribute

project artifacts.


Synergy quick tour: CM Best Practice - Task-based CM

Task-based CM: a simple usage paradigm

Developers select a task in their To-Do list,

Check out/create & modify files

Complete the task

Task-based CM helps the developer

Avoids manual "check-ins" and similar annoying operations

Automates documentation

Automatic traceability: Change requests – Activities – Objects

Clear "To-do list" with priorities and navigation

Removes CM process overhead from developers daily activities

Telelogic Synergy is a Task-Based SCM System

Task-based CM is an accepted Best Practice pioneered by Telelogic

Telelogic Synergy groups file changes with a “task”

Task Based CM provides a “To Do List” interface, simplifying developer interactions

Gain clear understanding of why files have changed via their associated task information.

Introducing Synergy 7.0

FAST performance

Tame complexity

Develop globally

Monitor centrally


Single repository solution

Fast WAN access


Release 7.0 enhancements Primary objective: Significantly improved WAN performance for both

offsite and offshore users

Enable distributed team members around the world to work on a central server over a WAN

No need for DCM unless there is another reason to use it (e.g., component sharing)

Reduced administration cost

Reduced complexity

Less branching and merging parallel versions

Secondary objective: Improved performance in general WAN performance should also help LAN performance

Additional requirements: No regression in scalability or LAN performance

Backward compatibility


32

Synergy 7.0 – new features and benefits

Key features:

New WAN client

Rewrite of the WA management

Rewrite of the CLI

Use of TDS for user administration – Centralized user Management

Completion of the Synergy client to cover missing functionalities (DCM)

Low risk when upgrading: Synergy 7.0 can still be used the Synergy 6.5 way

Others

Enhanced mechanism for reporting issues to support

Improved keyboard navigation

Improved Welcome page

Installation (MSI) and Documentation enhancements


FAST Performance over the WAN: Synergy 7.0 versus 6.5 SP1

Up to 20x faster!


FAST Performance over the WAN: Synergy 7.0 versus 6.5 SP1



36

Improved WAN Performance for Global Development

Synergy Release 7.0 introduces Web Mode

–Much faster, especially over a WAN

–Targeted for WAN users, but can be used by most developers and build managers

–Synergy GUI (Java client) with full functionality except link-based work areas

–New CLI for developer and build manager commands (no admin)

–New server architecture communicates using HTTP or HTTPS

–Users are authenticated via Telelogic Directory Server (LDAP)

Traditional Mode available as in previous releases

–Synergy GUI (Java client), Classic Client, and Classic CLI work as in previous releases

–Targeted primarily for local users and administrators

–Traditional Mode will be phased out in a future release


Other enhancements in Synergy Release 7.0

Enterprise Deployment

–MSI installer support

Improved supportability

–New error reporting dialog collects log files and version/patch level information when you report errors to Telelogic, or to your internal Synergy support team

–For security reasons, you can choose what to send

–Logging and tracing support for new (Java) client and server

An HTML Welcome Page

–Gives links to additional information such as documents on the Telelogic web site

–Can be configured to link to URLs of your choice

Improved keyboard navigation

Process Guidance for Telelogic Change and Synergy


Configurable Welcome Page


Web Mode details 7.0 introduces a new communication architecture that is much faster,

but still keeps the old architecture Synergy GUI (Java client) sessions can be started in Web Mode or

Traditional Mode

This is a more phased approach – we can defer some less frequently-used features to the next release

Minimizes risk – customers can continue to use the classic CLI and work area

Traditional Mode Will be phased out in a future release - all users will use the new architecture

Is appropriate for

Administrators

Unix client users who need link-based work areas

Users doing migration


New CCM Server details

CCM server serves Web Mode clients Manages back end sessions for Web Mode sessions

Back end sessions for Synergy GUI in Web Mode, new Synergy CLI

Similar to Change server

Back end sessions are shared by multiple users for scalability

Back end sessions all run on Synergy server

CCM server was formerly the help server Also served client images and patch images to Windows client users

Still Jetty in 7.0, but will be WebSphere in a future release

For scalability, you can run multiple web servers on Unix installations Up to one per database plus one for help


New: Improved Error Reporting


Submit Support Request

Collects information about the Synergy installation, build number, and JRE

Records the OS

Gathers log files from client and server

Lets the user attach extra files

Files also can be removed


Easily Add Screen Snapshots


… and Even Videos


Submit Support Request Feature

Sensitive to confidentiality concerns Email address is not configured out of the box

Most customers want to route it to their internal support team so they can monitor issues and prevent sending confidential information

Email address is configured in this file in the server installation:CCM_HOME/etc/system_info.txt

Users can remove or edit files before sending

They can copy the text and attachments, rather than send them directly from the dialog


Other Changes in Synergy Release 7.0
