Note

Setup is a staging process that may require some planning. See ªChapter 9. Database Design Strategies and Advanced Customizationº on page 121 for details on setup strategies and customization options.

You will need to decide what type of database you need: Requirements, Design and Development, Test Case Management, Generic, or a User De®ned database.

Note: The Preview button enables you to view database forms and related information to help determine which type of database is most suitable for your group.

See ªUsing TeamConnection with Lotus Notesº on page 104 or the Notes database documents for a description of each database type.

You will need to know your TeamConnection family and server port name to complete the initialization portion of setup. You must also have authorization to connect to and use the server. You should use a test family, initially, until you have the details of your database design and customization stabilized and tested before pointing the setup to a ²live² TeamConnection family.

Note: You must identify your full TeamConnection family speci®cation (family@hostname@port) as an alias in your hosts and services ®les, and

supply only the family name in the *Family ®eld. In addition, all database users must have the same entry in their hosts and services ®les.

Be sure to use the Test Connection and Test Web Client buttons to verify that all necessary installation con®gurations are valid.

Select the Finish button to update the integration with TeamConnection and complete the Initialization.

h.When the Initialization is complete, you can either begin the Customization setup (see Creating customized production databases) or return to the main window. If you want to begin working with the initialized database, select Proceed to Database. Your new, but empty database is available. You can now test that it is working to your satisfaction.

In the most basic terms, testing would include the following activities:

vCreate documents.

vUpdate documents. This should include testing the state system, which would involve moving a document's state to Approved.

vReopen documents.

vSelect Feature and Defect push buttons.

vOpen Defects and/or Features.

vExamine views.
