Every workspace has one or more flow targets that specify
the sources and destinations of incoming and outgoing change sets.
You can modify the list of workspace flow targets and specify any
one of them as the default.
About this task
Most repository workspaces have a default flow target
that was established when the workspace was created. This flow target
is typically a stream (the stream you specified when you selected Flow
with a stream when creating the workspace, or the stream
from which you created a new repository workspace), but it can also
be another workspace. If you want to accept change sets from other
sources or deliver them to other targets, you can use the Repository
Workspace Editor to add and remove flow targets as needed.
To
add flow targets to your repository workspace:
- In the Pending Changes or Team
Artifacts view, right-click your repository workspace and
click Open.
- Navigate to the Flow Targets area
of the Repository Workspace editor. All
of the workspace's flow targets are listed. The default flow target
is distinguished by the string (default).
The current flow target (which is typically the default flow target)
is distinguished by the string (current).
- Click Add in the Flow
Targets area. (To remove a workspace flow target,
select it and click Remove.)
- In the Select a Stream or Workspace window,
choose the kind of flow target to search for. If the flow
target you want to add is not displayed, you can enter a text string
that will be used to search for a stream or workspace whose name matches
all or part of it. If you are not sure of the name of the stream or
workspace but know the name of its owner, you can enter the owner's
name to see a list of streams or workspaces associated with that owner.
- Select one or more entries from the Matching
items list and click OK to add
the selected flow targets.
- Click Save to save
your changes.
Results
The new flow targets are added to the workspace. If any
component in the workspace contains change sets that are not present
in any of the new flow targets, those change sets appear in the component's Outgoing folder
when the flow target is set as the current flow target. If any of
the new flow targets contain change sets that are not present in a
component in the workspace, those change sets appear in the component's Incoming folder
when the flow target is set as the current flow target.
What to do next
Note: By default, all components in the workspace flow to
and from the current flow target. You can edit any of the flow targets
to specify that only a subset of components should be included in
flows to and from that target. To edit a flow target, select it and
click Edit. Flow targets that have been edited
to specify a non-default flow scope are distinguished by the string (scope) in
the Flow targets list.
