Remove change set from public stream?
Once a change set has been delivered into the public stream, is it possible to back it out of that stream (versus just suspednign it from individual workspaces)?
Thanks, Alex. |

There are two techniques, you can reverse the change set and make a new change set with the opposite effect. This is the preferred method since it records in your history that something is being backed out.
A more intrusive mechanism is the replace what is in a stream with the exact change history from a repository workspace. This allows you to discard change sets from your repo workspace then run "Replace In..." from the component in the Pending Changes view. Cheers, Jean-Michel |

Note that one reason the first technique is preferred, is that with the
second technique, all workspaces that were "caught up" to the stream before the replace will show up after the replace as having an "outgoing change" which is the change-set that you've removed. If the owner of such a workspace just executes "deliver all", they will effectively put that change-set back into the stream.

Excellent, thanks - once I had the magic verb 'reverse' I was able to find the precise instructions in the infocenter here:
