Idea and goal

This project delivers a new widget for RTC (Rational Team Concert) to allow iteration/sprint planning of work items in a Tetris-Like way. This was also the inspiriation for calling it Timebox Planning.

The widget is available as a serverside plugin, which can be installed on any RTC (CCM) instance.

Compatibility

The Widget works for CLM V.4.0.3 and later. Currently it is in successful operation on V.6.0.3. Since it is implemented process independently it supports the brand new SAFe template as well as any others including your customizations

Releases

Today we offer you a binary distribution, which can be downloaded from this project and installed on your system. The current stable release can be downloaded directly from the Releases page.

Installation

Deploy just like any other update site:

1. Extract the com.siemens.bt.jazz.timebox.v3_updatesite.ini file from the zip file to the server/conf/ccm/provision_profiles directory
2. Extract the com.siemens.bt.jazz.timebox.v3_updatesite folder to the server/conf/ccm/sites directory
3. Restart the server

Update existing installation

1. Request a server reset in one of the following ways:
   • If the server is currently running, call https://server-address/ccm/admin/cmd/requestReset
   • Navigate to https://localhost:9443/ccm/admin?internaltools=true so you can see the internal tools (on the left in the side-pane). Click on Server Reset and press the Request Server Reset button
   • If your server is down, you can delete the ccm built-on.txt file. Liberty packed with 6.0.3 puts this file in a subfolder of server/liberty/servers/clm/workarea/org.eclipse.osgi/**/ccm. The easiest way to locate the file is using your operating system's search capabilites.
2. Delete previously deployed updatesite folder
3. Follow the file extraction steps from the section above
4. Restart the server
