Workgroup Development

CA Plex provides a model-based workgroup environment in which teams of software developers can collaborate on the design and construction of applications. At the heart of this environment is a repository whose facilities include the following:

• Multiple developer support that enables developers to work offline and then update their changes to the central repository
• Built-in configuration management that enables a model to store a single application design in multiple versions, platforms, and national languages
• The integration of designs stored across multiple models

For simplicity, the sample in this chapter focuses on a single-user environment. The single-user model, called a local model, has already been created for you.
