Configuration Management Tool for BO

Is any one aware of any configuration management tool specifically for Universe maintenance?

What is it you’re trying to accomplish? Have you looked at Enterprise Quality Manager (EQM) from NOAD?

We wanted to have a formal procedure to avoid rework in a concurrent universe development environment with many universe developers. The rework is caused by poor coordination between the designers as the universes are over written. I know there is a way to lock the universe but we wanted to have a tool where our Project manager also can control.

We dont know about NOAD is it an optimal tool for configuration management.

The NOAD tool will allow complete version control. It will also allow comparison, so you can avoid overwriting previous changes.

I also suggest that, if you have many Designers, you only allow 1 or 2 of them to export universes. That would give you more control of change management.

Simple idea:
Let the project manager LOCK the universe (this will require a Designer license for the project manager), and when a designer works on the universe, he/she will have to submit the modified universe to the project manager, who then in turn can export the universe to the repository.

See if you already have a CM tool in your company that you can use, for example Harvest.
