Topaz team profile

Topaz Team Profile provides an easy way to share Topaz assets among users to speed up the adoption of Topaz across an organization.

Topaz Team Profile allows a user to export assets either to Compuware Enterprise Services (CES) or to a file; and subsequently, other users can import those same assets or a subset of those assets to their Topaz instance. These assets include the following:

  • Configurations, such as launch configurations, Data Editor requests, search and compare requests
  • Projects, including both Compuware-specific projects (mainframe, Topaz for Total Test, ISPW) and non-Compuware specific projects
  • Preferences, meaning any setting set via the Preferences dialog box
  • Working sets of all types
