Starting Work on a Project
Whether you’ve been with your project since its kick-off meeting, have joined in
mid-project, or are new to Bay Networks engineering projects altogether, you
need to set up your environment, get on the email list, and perhaps start the
project.
To start work on a project:
1.
Set up your UNIX environment:
a.
Get a UNIX engineering account and telnet ability to caps in the
engeast domain, or to supremes in the engwest domain. See
Obtaining
Appropriate Accounts
on page 2-1.
b.
Set up your development environment with the right tools, directory
structure, resource files, etc. See
Setting up Your Environment
on page
2-2.
2.
Get your name on the project’s email list. See
Managing a Project’s
Majordomo Email List
on page 2-4.
3.
Set up your project environment with any special directory hierarchy and
naming. See
Setting up Your Environment
on page 2-2.
Note:
For account and application specifics and such, see the hardware engineering web pages on
http://hwtools
.
4.
Create the project, if you’re a project manager and it’s appropriate.
PCNs and BOMs need to be associated with specific projects, of which
there are currently almost 100. See
Creating a New Project
on page 2-3.
Also see
Generating Part Numbers for an Initial BOM
on page 3-6. And see
Creating and Updating BOMs
on page 1-7, below, for the overall steps.
