You can either deliver all the change sets or only selected change sets from one stream
to another.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you are familiar with project areas,
components (if supported), baselines, streams, and
change sets (if supported).
- Ensure that you are familiar with global configurations and
personal streams (if your organization uses them).
- Ensure that you are logged in to a
project.
- If your team requires you to manually create the change sets to group changes, you must first
deliver the changes to the flow target (the stream that the change set was created in).
- You must have permission to deliver change sets.
- Understand how your organization uses streams, baselines, and
change sets based on how many teams need to work in parallel on different versions of the same
artifacts. To learn more, see Patterns for stream usage on Jazz.net.
Procedure
-
On the toolbar:
-
Ensure that the Current Configuration menu is set to the stream that
contains the change sets to deliver.
-
Click .
A dialog box opens.
-
Select the stream to deliver the changes to, click OK.
-
Follow the prompts and complete the steps in the wizard.
You can review all changes using the
Standard delivery of change sets. Additionally, you can speed up or customize
the delivery process with the Express or Custom
delivery options.
- Express: You have many changes to deliver and
don't need to review them. Automatically deliver all the changes without reviewing them; you are
notified for any conflicts.
Automatically resolve
conflicts where possible: Select to resolve conflicts that
occur when different attributes of an artifact are modified in each configuration. For instance, the
primary text modified in the source and the description modified in the target. If the same
attribute is modified in both configurations, delivery stops and you resolve the
differences.
- Custom: You might have many changes or you want
to control which ones are delivered. Select all or a subset of them; choose to review them or not;
and specify how the system handles conflicts.
- Select
Preview changes and manually resolve any conflicts to manually review the
changes, or choose from the following options:
- Notify me: When a conflict occurs between artifacts,
the delivery stops and you resolve the conflict.
- Automatically merge where possible: Select to resolve conflicts that
occur when different attributes of an artifact are modified in each configuration. For instance, the
primary text modified in the source and the description modified in the target. If the same
attribute is modified in both configurations, delivery stops and you resolve the
differences.
- Always overwrite with source: When a
conflict occurs between artifacts, the version in the change set automatically overwrites the
version in the target stream.
- Specify dominant source attributes: When a
conflict occurs between artifacts, the conflict is resolved by automatically delivering the values
of attributes that you selected. When you deliver your changes, if the system detects a conflict
between the artifact versions in the source and target configurations, it delivers only the selected
attribute values for that artifact version to the target stream.
- Choose change sets to deliver: Select and then click
Add, and choose the change sets to deliver to the target stream. To remove a
change set from the list, from the menu on the left of the name, click Don't
Deliver.
Depends on Change Sets: If your changes depend on
other change sets (including the change sets from other team members), you must deliver them as
well. Inspect the dependencies as shown or by hovering over the link in the
Dependents column to see which change sets would also be delivered. The
dependent change sets are delivered at the same time as yours. However, you can choose to ignore a
dependent change set by selecting the corresponding checkbox in the Ignored
column before delivering the changes.
If you don't choose specific change sets, the system delivers all the ones that were already
delivered to the source configuration.
- Optional:
If you choose to review your changes, click Next.
If you choose to review your changes, use the controls on the
Deliver Change
Sets page.
- View the artifacts in the change set: Expand and collapse the sections on
the left side of the page.
- See differences when artifacts changed in both the change set and the target
stream: Expand the Changed in both section, and click an
artifact. Changes are color-coded in the changes section.
To toggle between a side-by-side comparison and single-pane view of the changed
artifacts, click Side-by-side comparison
on the toolbar
- Deliver the changes for an artifact: Use the Changed in
both section and the options that are available on the page for delivering the changes.

- Select or exclude individual changes for delivery: For each changed
attribute, select an option.
- Manually merge changes using the Primary Text field: When you select the
Manually Merge menu option for the Primary Text field, a
dialog box opens with an editable Primary Text field. The field is populated
with the target value, since that is what you can edit. The dialog box also shows the read-only
source value for comparison:
- You can use either the source or target text as the base to edit and make changes as needed. To
use the text of the source artifact as a starting point for your changes, click Start
With Source Text. The text of the target artifact moves to the other pane so that you
can compare them.
- You can include existing embedded artifacts, links, and terms from both the source and the
target by using copy and paste or drag-and-drop.
- You can copy a link or an image to the clipboard without selecting the entire link text or
image. In the read-only primary text content on the left side of the dialog box, right-click a link
or an image and click Copy.
- You can also click and drag a link or an image from the left side and drop it into the editable
Primary Text field on the right.
Click Apply Changes when you finish.

Click Deliver near the upper right of the page.
Results
The changes are now available in the stream that you selected to deliver them to. If you
work in a personal stream and deliver the change set, it is removed from the personal stream.
What to do next
To view the changes, switch to that stream. For more information, see Selecting a component and configuration to work in.
To see which streams contain a specific change set, see Showing where change sets were delivered.
