Modifying workspace flow targets

Edit online

A flow target is the target area where the delivered changes flow into. The flow target for a stream or repository workspace can be another stream or workspace. When you create a repository workspace from a stream, that stream becomes the default flow target. When you create a repository workspace from My Source Control, you can select a stream as the flow target by clicking Flow with a stream.

Before you begin

Before changing the flow target, you must create a repository workspace.

About this task

You can change the flow target for a repository workspace or a stream at any time. You can specify different flow targets for each component. You can view the default and current flow target in the stream or repository workspace editor. In the stream or repository workspace editors, you can also modify flow targets. For example, you can add or remove a flow target, or select which components flow to a flow target.

You can also change the flow direction of the flow target. If you set the flow direction of the flow target to incoming, the repository workspace can only accept changes from the stream or repository workspace. If you set the flow direction to outgoing, the repository workspace can only deliver changes to the stream or repository workspace. You can also set the current incoming/outgoing flow and default incoming/outgoing flow direction. By default, the flow target is added with the flow direction as incoming and outgoing.

Procedure

  1. In the Pending Changes window, right-click the repository workspace; then click Change Flow Target and select the flow direction (Incoming, Outgoing, or Both).
  2. In the Select a Stream or Workspace window, select the type of flow target to search for.
    If the flow target is not listed, type the name of a stream or workspace. You can also type the name of the owner to view a list of streams or workspaces that are associated with that owner.
  3. Select a stream or workspace from the Matching items list.
  4. Optional: To set this stream or workspace as the default flow target, select Set as Default Flow Target.
  5. Click OK.
