The Working Environments Administrator
Working environment updates do not always work according to plan. A number of things can go wrong, such as:
- builds during updates don't deliver the desired results because team members have
checked in buggy source files
- updates terminate suddenly because of hardware problems
- unattended updates don't take place because of a bug in the update script
To handle these and any other update-related problems that may occur, we strongly recommend that you appoint a Working Environments Administrator. In addition to making sure that updates function properly, he/she could also be responsible for:
- creating new working environments
- creating and enforcing guidelines regarding how shared files should be checked out and
checked in
- keeping shared working environments clean of obsolete files and directories
- maintaining your team's Repository
