A change set is a collection of related modifications to
resources. You can create change sets to create convenient groupings
of changes that can be optionally reviewed and approved by other team
members.
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. To do actions on change sets, in the Configuration
Management application,
you must have permission to update which resources are part of a configuration.
About this task
When you change resources within the context of a change
set, all the changes that you make are grouped into one logical unit.
This grouping facilitates the review process and makes it easy to
share changes with other teams or team members that use different
workspaces.
Procedure
- On the toolbar of a lifecycle management product, click .
- In the Create a Change Set window,
in the Change set comment field, specify a
comment about the new change set; then click Create.
In this comment, you might describe why the change set exists, the
problem it addresses, or other information that helps you or other
team members understand why these resources have been updated. The
comment is also used to help identify the change set. After
the change set is created, the Configuration Management changes
to the new change set.
Results
The resources that you change or create are now grouped in
this change set. When you finish changing resources, you can optionally
mark the change set as complete so that it can be reviewed, and then
deliver your changes to the workspace that is associated with this
change set.
