Preventing changes to change sets

When you finish changing the resources that are grouped in a change set, you can mark the change set as complete to prevent additional changes to it. You might complete this action to ensure the integrity of the change set, so that reviewers comment on the correct versions of resources.

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 change set that is associated with a workspace in this configuration space.
  • This content applies to version 4.0.3 or later.
    • To do actions on change sets, in the Configuration Management application, you must have permission to update which resources are part of a configuration.
    • To mark other team members' change sets as complete, in the Configuration Management application, you must have the corresponding change set permission. See the related task topic about administering change sets.

Procedure

  1. If the change set to mark as complete is not already selected as the current context, on the toolbar of a lifecycle management product, click Configuration Management > Search for More, and specify the name of the change set.
  2. Click Configuration Management > Complete Change Set.
  3. To confirm the operation, click OK.

Results

The change set is now read-only. You cannot add resources to or change resources in the change set. You might now consider having team members review the contents of the change set, or making your changes in the change set available to other team members.
