Adding and removing workspace flow targets

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:

  1. In the Pending Changes or Team Artifacts view, right-click your repository workspace and click Open.
  2. 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).
  3. Click Add in the Flow Targets area. (To remove a workspace flow target, select it and click Remove.)
  4. 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.
  5. Select one or more entries from the Matching items list and click OK to add the selected flow targets.
  6. 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.
