Delivering change sets to other streams in the RM application

You can either deliver all the change sets or only selected change sets from one stream to another.

1. On the toolbar:
   1. Ensure that the Current Configuration menu is set to the stream that contains the change sets to deliver.
   2. Click Current Configuration > Deliver Changes.
2. Select the stream to deliver the changes to.
3. Follow the prompts and complete the steps in the wizard.
   In addition to the Standard delivery of change sets where you can review all change before delivering them, 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 will be notified if there are any conflicts.

     Automatically resolve conflicts where possible: Select so the system resolves conflicts that occur when different attributes of an artifact are modified in each configuration; for example, 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:
     • 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 beside its name, click Don't Deliver.

       Depends on Change Sets: If your changes depend on other change sets (including those from other team members), you must deliver those as well. Hover over the link in this column to see which change sets will also be delivered. The dependent change sets are delivered at the same time as yours.

     • Notify me: When a conflict occurs between artifacts, the delivery stops and you resolve the conflict.
     • Automatically merge where possible: Select so the system resolves conflicts that occur when different attributes of an artifact are modified in each configuration; for example, 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.
     If you don't choose specific change sets, the system delivers all the ones that were already delivered to the source configuration.
4. 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 all or none of the changes for an artifact: Use the check boxes in the Changed in both section and the buttons in the right side of the page:

   • Select or exclude individual changes for delivery: Beside each changed attribute, select an option:
     

   • Manually merge changes in 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 either 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.
