To be able to define a task set, first make sure that all task set "components" that you need are defined, in terms of repository versions, releases, baskets, comparisons, and release comparisons.

IMPORTANT:

If you plan to use task sets with USoft 7.0/7.1 repositories, you have to specify the Task Sets – us7path setting in the Folder Locations window once. For example:

C:\Program Files\usd70

To define a task set:

1. From the Repository Manager menu, select Define, Task Sets.

The Task Sets window opens.

ALTERNATIVE:

You can also open the Task Sets window from the Configure tab of the catalog.

2. Specify a unique Name for the task set, and optionally a Description.

For example: Export TRAVEL repositories, with description:

Exports today's Development, Test, and Acceptance versions of the Travel Agency.

You can now define tasks in the related box. For each task:

3. Choose a task Type from the dropdown list.

A task can be a Compare, Create, Export, Flat Files, Import Into, Open, Task Set, and XML View task. For more information, refer to: Tasks within a Task Set.

This does NOT apply to Flat Files , Task Set and XML View tasks.
