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 Configuration Management and
click Edit configuration_name to
see the current workspace, or click Explore 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 Show Shared Change Sets or Show
all Change Sets. To refine the list of change sets that
are displayed, you might also click Show Change Sets from
All Users or Show Change Sets from Current
User.
- 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 this reversal is now visible to other team members that use
the current workspace.
