PRODUCT FEATURES
Change and Configuration Management
Dimensions' process-driven change and configuration management capabilities make it possible for your development teams to work more efficiently while providing visibility into the status and progress of development tasks.
Dimensions flexible process model makes it simple to create and maintain defined application development processes, ensuring a consistent development approach across distributed teams.
Build Management
Builds shouldn't be difficult. They shouldn't only happen when the stars are perfectly aligned. Or when your coding karma is just right. They should happen transparently, automatically, at your command.
Dimensions makes builds easy. Seamless. Transparent. Dimensions executes and manages scripts natively, or orchestrates builds in other build tools such as Serena Builder, Catalyst OpenMake, ANT, or Make. Dimensions provides:
- Configurable sets of build stages
- Open architecture allowing the use of virtually any build engine
- Integrated build scheduler
- Integrated Dimensions CM role management to control build administration and execution
- Comprehensive audit trail
Release Management
Pushing out releases can be painful. Once code is built, an application development team's work is largely done, but it's just beginning for IT operations. Often the handoff of new code from AD to IT Ops isn't effectively coordinated, leaving operations staff wondering what a new release will impact and leading to unforeseen downstream impacts.
Dimensions CM makes it easy for your AD and IT Ops teams to coordinate efforts, reducing the costs associated with promoting new code to production. With visibility into exactly what has been changed in each package, operations staff can anticipate potential risks before pushing code into production.
To help automate release processes, Dimensions provides fully-audited transfer of files to any target system (such as development, QA, or production).
Built for Speed.
Dimensions is fast across a Wide Area Network (WAN). Wicked fast. Whether it's opening large projects or checking in code, Dimensions performance smokes major competitors. Not concrete enough for you? In recent lab tests, Dimensions performed an average of 60 times faster than IBM Rational ClearCase and Subversion. Regardless of the network configuration - high-latency or low-latency - Dimensions was faster than the competition.
So, how does Dimensions do it? Dimensions relies on sophisticated library caching, advanced compression, and a high-performance RDBMS to provide a high-performing environment to even the most demanding development teams.
One World. One Repository.
With Dimensions, every developer can work against a single repository, meaning you don't spend unnecessary time replicating and maintaining isolated code repositories and change and configuration management systems.
Dimensions' single repository provides you with:
- End-to-end traceability, from the inception of a project or issue through delivery of the functionality.
- Streamlined regulatory compliance though development lifecycle process definition and enforcement.
- Enhanced team productivity with an infrastructure that supports collaboration between co-located or geographically distributed stakeholders.
- Visibility and control over project status, progress, and prioritization.
