This content
applies to version 4.0.3 or later. You
can undo, or reverse, the changes to resources that were shared in
a previous change set.
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.
- The change set that you want to reverse must be shared to the
current workspace.
About this task
You cannot reverse a change set that affects resources that
are currently locked by you or another user in the current workspace.
Get the resources unlocked by a user who has permission to do so,
and then reverse the changes.
Procedure
- Open the Change Set Explorer view. On the toolbar of a
lifecycle management product, click Current Configuration
Context and click Open Current Configuration to
see the current workspace, or click Explore Configurations to
open a different workspace.
- In the workspace editor, click the Change Sets tab.
Tip: If you do not see the change set to reverse,
click the Switch between showing all or only unshared change
sets icon near the upper right of the Change Sets section.
- In the Actions column, beside the
change set whose changes you want to reverse, click the Reverse
This Change Set icon. You can see a change
set named Reversing:change_set_name in the list
of change sets for this workspace. This operation might take a few
minutes to complete.
- Beside the change set named Reversing:change_set_name,
click the Share icon.
Results
The changes that were shared by the original change set are
reversed after you share the Reversing:
change_set_name change
set, and are now visible to other team members that use the current
workspace.
