many of the additional data elements and tables that are required for configuring<br />
release management.<br />

35, Release Types<br />
Release types define the types of releases you manage. For ease of use, release types<br />
are user-defined so that the terminology you currently use for identifying standard<br />
and PTF releases can be reflected in the release control process.<br />
36, Release Status<br />
The software release process configuration links release types and categories to a<br />
release status.<br />
The release status defines the path a release must follow before it can be changed to<br />
the next available status. It also defines the functions that can or can not be<br />
performed to the release during each phase of the cycle.<br />
37, Media<br />
Media definitions allow you to define the media available for distribution to customer<br />
systems. Media types can be tape or electronic.<br />
Electronic media definitions contain all of the communication parameters needed to<br />
pass-through and/or process deliveries to a customer system. These definitions are then<br />
attached to the customer system and used to select the actual devices.<br />
38, System Types<br />
System types are associated with customer systems and define the kind of computer<br />
systems they have.<br />
