Delivering UCM activities makes your work available to
other members of your team.
Before you begin
You must deliver to a UCM integration
view on your computer. This view is typically created when you use
the Join UCM Project wizard to join a UCM project and create the views
needed to work on activities in the project.
About this task
The deliver operation merges the
work in your development stream with the work in the target stream.
It completes trivial merges for you. If it encounters merge conflicts,
it prompts you to resolve the conflicts.
Procedure
-
If you are using the ClearTeam®
Explorer for Eclipse, switch
to the Eclipse workspace associated with the integration view.
-
To be sure that the integration view is current, select the view in the ClearTeam
Navigator and then select from the context menu to open the Update Resources dialog box.
Click Apply to perform the update operation.
-
In the ClearTeam
Navigator, select the ClearCase development view.
If you are using the ClearTeam
Explorer for Eclipse, do not
switch to the Eclipse workspace associated with this view. All modifications related to the deliver
operation take place in the integration view.
-
Right-click the development view and select from the context menu in the ClearTeam
Navigator
to open the Default Deliver dialog box or
click the Deliver from Stream icon
on the UCM toolbar and select Default Deliver. Use this dialog
to set the default target stream and ClearCase
view.
-
The default target stream and ClearCase view
appear in the Configure Default Deliver panel. To deliver to an alternate
stream, click Change. To create a new view to use for the deliver operation,
click New. To select a different existing view to use for the deliver
operation, click the Integration view option list.
Note: Alternately, you can set the default target stream and ClearCase view beforehand by clicking in the Eclipse Workbench, then selecting in the Preferences dialog box. If you have set these options
beforehand, the Default Deliver dialog does not appear when you select ; instead, the deliver operation begins.
- Click OK to start the delivery.
- The versions in the selected activities' change sets are
merged to the integration view. Any manual merges that are required
are listed in the Deliver Results view with a Merge Status of Needs
Merge.
Click the
icon on the
Deliver Results view
toolbar to start merging. This opens the first item in the list with
the appropriate manual merge tool. When the first item is merged,
the next item is opened in the appropriate merge tool. This process
continues until all required merges are complete or you click the
icon to stop merging.
Note: To
can cancel the deliver and undo any merges that have completed, click
the
icon on the
Deliver Results view toolbar.
- After completing any required merges, build and test in
the integration view.
- If the build and test are successful, click the
icon on the Deliver Results view toolbar
to complete the deliver operation.
Results
The selected activities are delivered to the integration view
and the new versions checked in. After the changes are incorporated
in a new baseline, other team members can use Rebase Stream to load the
new versions into their development views.
