Managing Rational Projects with the Administrator
You use the Rational Administrator to create and manage projects.
Rational projects store application testing information, such as scripts, verification
points, queries, and defects. Each project consists of a database and several directories
of files. All Rational Test components on your computer update and retrieve data
from the same active project.
Projects help you organize your testing information and resources for easy tracking.
Projects are created in the Rational Administrator, usually by someone with
administrator privileges.
Use the Administrator to:
þ
Create a project under configuration management.
þ
Create a project outside of configuration management.
þ
Connect to a project.
þ
See projects that are not on your machine (register a project).
þ
Delete a project.
þ
Create and manage users and groups for a Rational Test datastore.
þ
Create and manage projects containing Rational RequisitePro projects and
Rational Rose models.
þ
Manage security privileges for the entire Rational project.
þ
Configure a SQL Anywhere database server.

created some projects:
