Recommended practices when integrating Jenkins builds and RTC SCM

Many of our customers are using Jenkins for their software builds integrated with Rational Team Concert (RTC) software configuration management (SCM). This is a powerful combination but one that should be managed carefully so as not to put undue load on the RTC server. Based on several customer experiences my colleagues and I from development and services have put together an article that captures our guidance and recommendations when using RTC as an SCM system in Jenkins jobs.
