You can transfer the mastership of database records when users
from other sites need write access to them.
About this task
Rational® ClearQuest® MultiSite includes a
system field called ratl_mastership. The value of this field is
the replica that masters the respective record. To allow users to change the
mastership of a record, you must add this field to the form of the record
type. You can add the ratl_mastership field to the form of a record
type at any time.
Note: Only users at the master replica of a record can
change its mastership.
For each record type for which you want to
allow users to change record mastership, use the
Rational ClearQuest Designer
at the working schema repository to modify the schema of the replica family.
To add the
ratl_mastership field to a record form:
- In the Workspace, expand Record Types, and then expand the desired
record type.
- Double-click the form.
- Click the tab to which you want to add the field, or click Edit > Add
Tab to add a new tab to contain the field.
- Using the Field List, drag the ratl_mastership field
to the tab.
- Check in the modified schema.
- Upgrade the appropriate user databases to use the new schema.
- Generate and send an update packet. Update packets automatically contain
schema updates. Administrators at other sites must upgrade their user database
replicas to use the new schema revision.
