IBM Rational Synergy Boot Camp

Part 1: This course provides an introduction to how you can use Rational Synergy as part of your development activities. The course offers you hands on practice with the Rational Synergy Graphical User Interface and shows how it can be used in the complete development cycle as you, and the other members of your team, complete the work that you have been assigned.

Part 2: In this course, you learn to use IBM Rational Synergy to meet your projects’ configuration management goals. You will learn the processes needed to define and manage projects, releases, baselines, and work areas. Course topics include how to set up new projects, share work between developers, manage conflicts between dependent source files, and support integration and system testing activities.

Part 3: The Rational Synergy Process Tailoring course will show you how Synergy can help you automate the process of your workflows among developers from testing to release. This training class will also show how you can effectively use different types of projects for different purposes.

For example, developers use projects for implementing and unit-testing their changes. Build managers use projects for gathering the newest completed changes and building a test area. The rules for how those projects behave when they are updated – that is, which baseline they start from and which tasks they use – is defined by the Synergy process.

Part 4: The Rational Synergy Administration course is designed to provide you with an understanding of the operations required to administer Synergy. This one-day course presents information enabling a system administrator to configure the Synergy environment for optimal use of system resources. Additionally, you will learn about Synergy processes, INFORMIX architecture, database structure, backup and recovery, utilities and actions for ensuring the integrity of your Synergy installation. This course has been designed to help those people who have a role in maintaining Rational Synergy within an enterprise. Those who undertake this administration may have very different roles and backgrounds within individual enterprises.

This boot camp is a combination of the following four courses:

  • IBM Rational Synergy Developer V7.1 (BCSI-QS171), 1 day
  • IBM Rational Synergy Build Manager V7.1 (BCSI-QS181), 2 days
  • IBM Rational Synergy Process Tailoring (BCSI-QS191), 1 day
  • IBM Rational Synergy Administration V7.1 (BCSI-QS186), 1 day
