Working With Products and Versions<br />
Follow the steps described in “Working With Products, Components, and Versions”<br />
in Chapter 3 for setting up product versions and releases.<br />
Attaching <strong>SDM</strong> Environments to a Product Version<br />
Product version definitions refer to one or more <strong>SDM</strong> environments. When you set<br />
up product versions, you attach the <strong>SDM</strong> environment(s) associated with each<br />
product at the version level.<br />
The release management function uses the environment(s) referenced for a product<br />
version to determine the location of software items that need to be included in a<br />
specific release within a product version).<br />
In addition, the <strong>SDM</strong>-Implementer promotion process checks to see if the ‘To’<br />
environment of the promotion request is attached to a product version. <strong>SDM</strong>-<br />
Implementer will only allow a promotion request to be promoted into an environment<br />
attached to a product version if the product version has an ‘Open Release’. If the<br />
product version does not have an open release, the promotion request will result in a<br />
‘Move-Fail’ status. This method ensures that the <strong>SDM</strong> environments that the product<br />
releases are created from can be frozen until the product manager decides to open a<br />
new release.<br />
