Planning your implementation
Before enabling requests for mastership, the project managers and administrators at the different sites must make specific planning decisions about whether requests for mastership are allowed for specific replicas, branches, and branch types, and which developers are authorized to make requests for mastership.
When planning your
implementation, you must decide:
- Which replicas must be enabled to allow requests for mastership. By default, a replica does not allow requests for mastership. You can enable one replica, multiple replicas, or all replicas in a VOB family.
- Which developers must be authorized to request mastership. By default, no one is authorized. You can authorize individual developers, everyone in a specific group, everyone in a specific domain, or everyone in your network.
- The branch types and branches (if any) for which mastership requests are
always denied. By default, requests are allowed.
Although you can enable requests for mastership in components, you cannot request mastership of a branch or branch type associated with a stream.
