About this book

This book is part of the documentation library supporting the IBM TeamConnection licensed programs. It is a guide for client users.

For additional information when performing TeamConnection tasks, refer to the Commands Reference when entering commands or online help when using the graphical user interface (GUI).

Getting Started with the TeamConnection Clients contains basic information for the client user.

This book is available in PDF format. Because production time for printed manuals is longer than production time for PDF ®les, the PDF ®les may contain more up-to-date information. The PDF ®les are located in directory path nls\doc\enu (Intel) or softpubs/en_US (UNIX). To view these ®les, you need a PDF reader such as Acrobat.

How this book is organized

ªPart 1. Introducing TeamConnectionº on page 1, gives all users an overview of the concepts of TeamConnection and introduces the terminology that is used throughout this book.

ªPart 2. Developing a product using TeamConnectionº on page 15, describes the different interfaces and basic TeamConnection tasks. It uses scenarios to explain how to do many tasks.

This part is for everyone using TeamConnection to do daily work. The information is meant for both the person who uses the command line interface and the person who uses the GUI, as instructions for both are provided.

ªPart 4. Using TeamConnection to build applicationsº on page 127, tells how to use the TeamConnection build function. For information in installing and administering the build function, refer to the Administrator's Guide

ªPart 5. Using TeamConnection to package productsº on page 199, tells how TeamConnection helps you automate the packaging and distribution of your application.

ªPart 6. Appendixesº on page 225, contains various pieces of information that you can refer to as you plan for and use TeamConnection.

Information on customer service, a bibliography, and a glossary are included at the back of this book.
