Publishing changes of associating or dissociating resources with components

After you associate or dissociate resources in a project with a component in the system model, you must publish the changes made to the branch in the project repository so that the association changes are visible to the other members of the project.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Log in to HCL OneTest™ Server, if you are not already logged in.
  2. Open the team space to which a team space repository is added.

    The Active projects page is displayed.

  3. Click Active projects > My projects > project_name to open the project that contains the test assets.

    The Overview page of the project is displayed.

    You can view the options for unpublished changes made to the components and associations in the system model. The options available for association changes are as follows:
    • Review changes
    • Discard changes
    • Publish changes

    1. Select the Review changes option.
      The Changes page is displayed. You can find the following information about the changes that you made to the system model when you associated resources with components or deleted the association:
      • The Edit branch that you selected to contain the changes is displayed in the Branch field. You can select the Edit branch that you used before associating resources to components, if it is not already displayed as selected.
      • The projects that contained the resources, which you associated with components in the system model are listed under the Asset name column.
      • The type of change is listed under the Changes column.
      • The name of the member who made the change is displayed under the Last changed by column.
      • The relative time when the change was made is displayed under the Last updated column.
      • The number of changes that the Edit branch is ahead of from the project repository branch is indicated by the commits ahead option.

      • The number of changes that the Edit branch is behind from the project repository branch is indicated by the commits behind option.
