Problems delivering change set to multiple streams

Having done further investigation even getting a second review doesn't allow it to be delivered. I have to disable the prereq check for an approved review.

Has anyone else seen this or know how to get around it?

It sounds like your setup is something like this:

ProjectAreaX
defines: RoleX
precondition: require delivered change set reviewed by RoleX
contains:
TeamA
assigns RoleX to UserX
owns StreamA
TeamB
owns StreamB

When you deliver a change set reviewed by UserX to StreamA, the
precondition passes because UserX is assigned RoleX in TeamA. But when
you deliver the same change set to TeamB, it fails because UserX is not
assigned RoleX in this team.

Does this sound like what's happening?

If so, here are a few possible solutions:
1. Assign RoleX to UserX in TeamB
2. Assign RoleX to UserX in ProjectAreaX
3. Remove the precondition from ProjectAreaX and add this precondition to
TeamA only
3. Leave the precondition on ProjectAreaX, but make it overrulable.
Optionally, you can also add the precondition to TeamA and make it not
overrulable there.
4. Do not deliver individual change sets to TeamB, but deliver baselines
instead. (This is how the RTC team usually works)

There appear to be two controls. In Operation Behavior I can configure:

Source Control > Deliver (client)
Source Control > Deliver (server)

On the client side we have set "Require Work Item Approval" to be team-member. Everyone has team-member authority to the project area.
On the server side we have set "Ensure Delivered Change sets Reviewed".

If we disable the server side behavior we can deliver the changes, which makes me think it is this check that is causing the problem. The description says:

Ensures that change sets being delivered have an approved review task. It allows specifying the reviewers by name or by role.

I can find no way to specify any roles, or configure the behavior in any way. I am concerned that disabling the server side check could allow un-reviewed code to be delivered, even though the client side check is enabled. Can you tell what I am missing here? I am using 1.0.1.

does the person granting the review approval have the same role/permissions on the teams that own the streams? it was a minor oversight we had before in our process.

ciao!

I didn't initially, but I have given myself authority to all the teams and it still didn't work.
