Delivering change sets

You must deliver the change sets to make them available to the rest of the team.

Before you begin

Before delivering change sets, you must check in the changes.

About this task

Every change set that you deliver is associated with a work item. You can either just deliver the change set and then open the work item to change the status to resolved or you can use the Deliver and Resolve Work Item option to deliver the change set and resolve the work item simultaneously. To deliver the change set, in the Pending Changes tool window, expand the Outgoing folder, right-click the change set and click Deliver.
Note: If there are build errors in the change set, a warning is displayed while delivering that change set. To deactivate the warning, in Microsoft® Visual Studio, click Tools > Options > Source Control > Jazz Source Control, and clear the Warn while delivering change sets when there are build errors check box.

To deliver the change set and resolve the work item:

Procedure

  1. In the Pending Changes tool window, expand the Outgoing folder of the component that contains the change set.
  2. Right-click the change set, and click Deliver and Resolve Work Item.
  3. Optional: If you have not associated a work item with the change set, in the Deliver and Resolve window, associate a work item by creating a work item or selecting an existing work item by typing its ID or summary text.
  4. Optional: In the Deliver and Resolve window, complete the following actions:
    1. Add a comment.
    2. Click Add to add approvers.
    3. Enter a subject for the approval process.
  5. Click Finish.

What to do next

The outgoing change sets are automatically marked complete if they were not already completed, and then delivered to the flow targets of your workspace.
