In a collaborative development environment, other team
members change resources that are in the same project area that you
are working in. To import into your workspace the changes that they
made, use the Accept incoming changes operation.
Before you begin
- You should be familiar with project
areas, configuration spaces, snapshots, workspaces,
and change sets, which are described in Management of shared resources.
- You must be logged in to a project,
and you must be in a workspace that is associated with the current
configuration space.
- This content
applies to version 4.0.3 or later. In
the Configuration
Management application,
you must have permission to merge configurations. For more information
about setting permissions in the Configuration
Management application,
see the link to the related task at the end of this topic.
Procedure
- Open the workspace to accept the changes into. On the toolbar
of a lifecycle management product, click Current Configuration
Context and click Open Current Configuration to
open the current workspace, or click Explore Configurations,
and open a different workspace.
- In the workspace editor, on the toolbar near the upper-right
corner of the page, click the Accept Incoming Changes icon.
- On the Accept Incoming Changes page,
view the highlighted changes in each pane. The Target pane
in the lower-right section of the page displays each change that you
can accept or reject.
- To accept a change, on the toolbar of the Current pane,
click the Apply the change to the merged result icon.
- Optional: To accept all the changes simultaneously,
on the toolbar of the Result pane, which is
near the upper-right corner of the page, click the Accept
all resolvable differences icon.
- After you accept the changes, commit your changes to the
workspace: On the toolbar of the Result pane,
click the Share merged result icon. If
you do not accept an incoming change, your workspace contains a version
of a resource that differs from the resource in the flow target. You
might need to verify that this change is not necessary for your workspace.
- Optional: To discard the changes that you accepted
while you were working on the Accept Incoming Changes page, on the
toolbar of the Result pane, click the Discard
merged result and close session icon. All
updates to the current workspace are discarded.
Results
Your workspace now contains the changes that you accepted
from other team members.
