Delivering UCM activities makes your work available to other members
of your team.
Before you begin
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.
About this task
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:
- 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.
Results
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.
