Configuration Management

Configuration baselines allow versions of design data artifacts to be placed under configuration control, distinguishing between formal and informal baselines (snapshots).

Snapshots (informal baselines) are used to record the development status of various design data objects at any given point in time (e.g., before a major planned change) without affecting the ability to modify the design data objects.

In contrast, formal baselines have a direct impact on the ability to change a design data object. Objects that are assigned to an active formal baseline can only be changed by means of a change request.

Change requests are used in RePoSyD to record and implement changes to design data objects in a structured manner.

Change requests can be created at any time and independently of configuration baselines for a design data object. The workflow for change requests implemented in RePoSyD supports the creation, decision-making process, and automated implementation of change requests.

The overviews in the integrated dashboard can be used to monitor the processing of change requests.

In contrast to change requests, which only describe changes to a design data object, change proposals offer the possibility of combining several change requests and submitting them together to the change control board for a decision. !!The implementation of change proposals is currently under development!!
