IBM Engineering Workflow Management Source Control - Advanced Topics, V7.x (RTC)

This course teaches advanced topics of EWM (formerly RTC) source control.

This one-day, hands-on class covers advanced topics for Engineering Workflow Management source control (formerly Rational® Team Concert source control) for Eclipse environments.

EWM (formerly RTC) is the workflow management and source control component of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) tool suite (formerly Rational CLM). EWM provides a scalable solution for source control, task tracking, and scheduling.

At the end of this course, students will understand scenarios, conflicts, and difficulties often encountered in a multi-stream, parallel development environment. Students will be able to manage these scenarios using EWM source control tools and capabilities.
