Rich Client and Database Setup

The following setup steps are necessary for the CTM to work correctly:

• Install the Valuemation Rich Client v.4.5 or newer

• Create a database for the Customization Transfer Manager

  Special CTM database scripts are provided. These scripts are a subset of the standard database scripts. It is necessary to use these scripts because of the hotfix and release updates processes. The database scripts are in the script/addon/ctm directory.

• Define the session configurations

  The CTM session has to be configured for the Customization Transfer Manager database.

  Typical session configurations in a customization project are as follows:

  1. Customizer Setup (used by project members who are customizing):

  • VALUEMATION (Development database)
  • EXPORT_ORIG (Master database)
  • CTM (CTM database)

  2. Transfer Manager Setup (used by dedicated project members who are responsible for transfer tasks):

  • VALUEMATION (Development database)
  • EXPORT_ORIG (Master database)
  • CTM (CTM database)
  • TEST (Test database)
  • INT (Integration database)

  3. Production setup (used by dedicated persons who are authorized to release customization to the productive system):

  • VALUEMATION (Production database)
  • CTM (CTM database)
• Enable CTM in set_env.bat: SET ENABLE_CTM=-Denable_ctm=true
