vTracks build times of inputs and outputs so that it builds only those parts that are out of date themselves or that have out of date dependents. You can also force a build regardless of the build times.

vEnables you to spread the build over multiple machines running at the same time or into multiple processes running on a single machine, such as on MVS.

Packaging

Packaging is any of the steps necessary to distribute software and data onto the machines where they are to be used. TeamConnection includes two tools that you can use to automate the electronic distribution of TeamConnection-managed software and data:

Gather An automated data mover for server or ®le transfer-based distribution.

Tivoli Software Distribution

A bridge utility that automates the installation and distribution of software or data using Tivoli as the distribution vehicle.

Roles people play

Because TeamConnection is extremely ¯exible, no two projects are likely to use it in the same way, and the jobs that people perform likewise vary. Still, TeamConnection tasks can be grouped into the following general categories:

System administrator

Has superuser access to the family server and database administration access to the database management system. This administrator is responsible for the following:

vInstalling and maintaining the TeamConnection server

vMaintaining and backing up the database used by TeamConnection

Note: On UNIX systems, the system administrator must also have root access to the host machine.

Family administrator

Has superuser access to the family server and database administration access to the database management system. This administrator is responsible for the following:

vPlanning and con®guring TeamConnection for one or more families

vManaging user access to one or more families
