This section introduces spaces and products in PulseUno, and how to use them.

Spaces and products overview

Administrators can organize work into spaces and register SCM products.

• A space is a collection of related software products, for example, Insurance. A space can contain one or more products, for example, Life Insurance and Health Insurance. You can register products in PulseUno so that they respond to events produced from those products.

• A product is a major unit of software development. A product is a collection of streams, for example, the product Life Insurance contains these streams:

  • LIFE
  • DISCOUNTS
  • PROMOTION
• A stream represents a branch or feature of development.

Use the following workflow to create a space, add products, and configure streams:

1. Create a Space.
2. Register one or more products to the Space.
3. Configure settings and defaults for each product.

4. Optional:

   • Register one or more streams with each product (streams are normally registered automatically).
   • Automatically create reviews create reviews and run chains for each stream.

Configure products (Administrators)

5. To configure if changesets create or attach deliveries to new reviews, from the Create/Attach Deliveries to a Review list select one of the following:

   • Create or attached deliveries to reviews
   • Do not attach deliveries to reviews
6. When you create a new stream based on an existing stream, to copy the settings from the parent stream select Copy settings from source stream.
