All streams are flow targets of workspaces or other streams.
Many streams have their own flow targets, which are typically established
when the stream is created. You can use the Stream Editor to
add or remove flow targets for a stream that you own.
About this task
Flow targets of streams document the standard flows for
the change sets in the stream. You can change the flow direction of
the flow target. If you set the flow direction of the flow target
to incoming, the stream can accept changes only from the stream or
repository workspace. If you set the flow direction to outgoing, the
stream can deliver changes only to the stream or repository workspace.
You can also set the current and default flow direction to incoming,
outgoing, or both. By default, the flow target is added with the flow
direction as incoming and outgoing.
Procedure
- In the Team Artifacts view, right-click the stream and click Open.
- Navigate to the Flow Targets area
of the Stream editor.
Any existing
flow targets are listed. The default flow target and current flow
target (which is typically the default flow target) are identified
in the Default Flow and Current
Flow columns.
- Click Add in the Flow
Targets area.
(To remove a flow target, select
it and click Remove.)
- In the Select a Stream or Workspace window,
choose the kind of flow target to search for.
If the flow
target you want to add is not displayed, you can enter a text string
that is used to search for a stream or workspace whose name matches
all or part of the text string. If you are not sure of the name of
the stream or workspace but know the name of its owner, you can enter
the owner name to see a list of streams or workspaces that are associated
with that owner.
- Select one or more entries from the Recently
Accessed Matches list and click OK to
add the selected flow targets.
- Click Save to save
your changes.
- Optional: To change the flow direction for
a stream:
- In the Flow Targets area, select
the repository workspace or stream and click Change Flow.
- In the Change Flow Target Direction window,
select the direction of the flow of the selected target and click OK.
- In the stream editor, click Save.
Note: You can also set the current and default flow direction
to incoming, outgoing, or both.
What to do next
By default, the components in a stream flow with the stream's
current flow target. You can edit any of the flow targets to specify
that only a subset of components are included in flows to and from
that target. To edit a flow target, select it and click Edit.
Flow targets that are edited to specify a non-default flow scope are
distinguished by the string (scoped) in the Flow
targets list.
