Content Management Report

 For Configuration Management, this Plugin creates a report with ease. The report takes into account the Documents and work products in your SVN repository. In addition, it supports processes of standards like SUP.8 of ISO 15504 (SPICE).

Description

The extension is deprecated and this page is accessible only for historical reasons.

Please do not try to download and/or contact us regarding this extension.

This extension works only with Polarion ALM version 3.3. However, it remains published here, as it can be pretty easily rewritten to a servlet and embedded to a wiki page.

This extension is provided as a Polarion ALM plug-in. It delivers a portlet that you can place on the dashboard (see Topics).

On the server where Polarion and Subversion run, this plug-in searches for the Documents specified in dms_documents.txt (located in the root of the Polarion project). These documents must contain dms:revision and dms:state in the SVN-Properties. Additionally the SVN-Author and the file date are taken to complete the information on the dashboard.

The user has direct access to these files via WebDav.

5. Configuration of Workproduct on SVN

    1: The workproduct you want to observe within this tool must have at least the following SVN-Properties:
        - dms:state
        - dms:revision
        
       The dms:state can have the following values:
        - planned
        - draft
        - waiting
        - release
        - obsolete
        
The revision can have any value. The length is limited only by the presentation in the GUI.
        
2: Values for Author and the Date of last Change are taken from the document properties.

3: In the root of the project there must be two files:
       - dms_version.txt
       - dms_documents.txt
       
In the first file the version is stored which helps the tools accessing the documents and workproducts. In the second file you give the path and filename of the workproducts you want to observe.

See the example files in the doc folder.

        - release    --> green
        - obsolete   --> grey
