Delivering UCM activities makes your work available to other members
of your team.
You must connect to a Rational ClearCase Web server
to deliver activities from a UCM stream. You must deliver to a UCM integration
view on your computer. This view is typically created when you use the Join
UCM Project wizard to join a UCM project and create the views needed to work
on activities in the project.
The deliver operation merges the work in
your development stream with the work in the target stream. It completes trivial
merges for you. If it encounters merge conflicts, it prompts you to resolve
the conflicts.
To deliver UCM activities from a UCM development view
to a UCM integration view using the Advanced Deliver method:
- If you are using the Rational ClearCase Remote Client
for Eclipse, switch to the Eclipse workspace associated with the integration
view
- To be sure that the integration view is current, select
the view in the ClearCase Navigator and then select from
the context menu to open the Update Resources dialog
box. Click Apply to perform the update operation.
- In the ClearCase Navigator, select the ClearCase
development view. If you are using the Rational ClearCase Remote
Client for Eclipse, do not switch to the Eclipse workspace associated with
this view. All modifications related to the deliver operation take place in
the integration view.
- Right-click the development view and select from the context menu
in the ClearCase Navigator to open the Default Deliver dialog box or click the Deliver from Stream icon
on the UCM toolbar and select Default
Deliver. Use this dialog to set the default target stream and
ClearCase view.
- The default target stream and ClearCase view appear in the Configure
Default Deliver panel. To deliver to an alternate stream, click Change.
To create a new view to use for the deliver operation, click New.
To select a different existing view to use for the deliver operation, click
the Integration view option list.
Note: Alternately,
you can set the default target stream and ClearCase view beforehand by clicking in
the Eclipse Workbench, then selecting in the Preferences dialog
box. If you have set these options beforehand, the Default Deliver dialog
does not appear when you select ; instead, the deliver
operation begins.
- Click OK to start the delivery.
- The versions in the selected activities' change sets are merged
to the integration view. Any manual merges that are required are listed in
the Deliver Results view
with a Merge Status of Needs Merge. Click the
icon on the Deliver Results view
toolbar to start merging. This opens the first item in the list with the appropriate
manual merge tool. When the first item is merged, the next item is opened
in the appropriate merge tool. This process continues until all required merges
are complete or you click the
icon to stop merging.Note: To can cancel
the deliver and undo any merges that have completed, click the

icon on the
Deliver Results view toolbar.
- After completing any required merges, build and test in the integration
view.
- If the build and test are successful, click the
icon on the Deliver Results view toolbar to
complete the deliver operation.
The selected activities are delivered to the integration view and
the new versions checked in. After the changes are incorporated in a new baseline,
other team members can use
Rebase Stream to
load the new versions into their development views.
