• Designed, documented, and implemented procedures for using Rational ClearCase to control the Application Development Life Cycle for the Global General Ledger system. Created a branching and labeling model to handle the promotion and release of the system to the testing and production environments. Created ClearCase makefiles to build and deploy the application components from ClearCase. Performed all aspects of ClearCase administration during this project.
• Performed analysis and reconciliation of two different versions of the Global General Ledger system using Rational ClearCase. Created Scripts and reports to document the reconciliation results. Worked with developers and Release Engineers during the reconciliation, testing, and implementation cycles.
• Designed, documented, and implemented procedures for managing Sybase and Oracle database changes during the development cycle. The procedure captures changes to the database definitions as well as to reference data held in the databases and stores them in ClearCase. Database changes are migrated to the testing and production environments in coordination with application changes.
• Created a Visual Basic utility to manage changes to reference data held in the Sybase and Oracle databases. The utility allowed live migration of the data between different database servers and provided and audit trail of the activity. This utility is used to ensure the correct reference data is in place for the Global General Ledger to utilize.

• Provided Rational Clearcase implementation and consulting services to Fidelity as part of the Version Control Team for Fidelity Information Services Group. Installed, configured, tested, and supported Clearcase on Windows/NT and UNIX. Planned and implemented Clearcase for a wide variety of application development teams in a mixed Windows/NT UNIX environment.
• Designed and implemented a new Application Development Lifecycle for Windows/NT UNIX Change Management. Developed Policies and Procedures for implementing the Lifecycle using Rational Clearcase and ClearQuest across platforms.
• Attended Rational Clearcase Fundamentals, Metadata, and Administration training while planning conversion from PVCS Version Manager for Windows/NT and IBM AIX to Clearcase for Fidelity Group Pension Canada.
• Created PERL scripts and modified Kornshell scripts for use with PVCS and Clearcase as triggers and utilities to automate many of the Release Management functions.
• Installed, Configured, and tested new versions of Clearcase, PVCS, and ClearQuest on Windows/NT and UNIX. Planned and executed the deployment of the new versions.
• Provided Release Engineering services to Fidelity Group Pension Canada using PVCS Version Manager and PVCS Configuration Builder on Windows/NT and IBM AIX platforms. Responsible for all Promotions, Builds, Release Management, and Production Deployments of a wide variety of applications including JAVA/HTML Web applications, IBM WebSphere applications, C++ Windows applications, IBM AIX CICS and Batch COBOL applications, and Kornshell scripts.

• Installed, Configured, analyzed and tested Microsoft SNA server, Microsoft Transaction Server, and COMTI to provide access to mainframe CICS transaction from Visual Basic application via APPC/LU6.2 protocol.
